Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about how Travorio travel NFTs work
How do I mint my first travel NFT?
You do not need to do anything manually. Simply book a flight or hotel on Travorio, and after your booking is confirmed, a unique NFT is automatically minted for free and added to your Travorio wallet. No crypto wallet setup, no gas fees, no technical steps required.
What blockchain does Travorio use for travel NFTs?
Travorio mints all travel NFTs on the Polygon blockchain. Polygon was chosen for its near-zero gas fees (fractions of a cent per transaction), fast confirmation times (2-second blocks), environmental sustainability (99.95% less energy than Ethereum mainnet), and full compatibility with major NFT marketplaces like OpenSea.
Do I need a crypto wallet to receive my travel NFT?
No, you do not need an external crypto wallet. Travorio automatically creates a custodial wallet for you when you make your first booking. Your NFTs are stored securely in your Travorio account. If you want, you can later export your NFTs to an external Polygon-compatible wallet like MetaMask.
How is the rarity of my travel NFT determined?
Rarity is determined by your booking class. Economy flights and 1-3 star hotels produce Common NFTs (70% of mints). Premium economy and 4-star hotels earn Rare NFTs (20%). Business class and 5-star hotels yield Epic NFTs (9%). First class and luxury suites generate Legendary NFTs, which represent just 1% of all mints.
Are there any gas fees or costs for minting my travel NFT?
No. Travorio covers all gas fees for NFT minting. Since we use the Polygon blockchain, gas fees are near zero (fractions of a cent), and we absorb this cost entirely. Your travel NFT is a free bonus with every booking.
Can I transfer my Travorio NFT to another wallet?
Yes. You can transfer your Travorio Memories to any Polygon-compatible wallet at any time. From your Travorio wallet, select the NFT you want to transfer and enter the destination wallet address. Standard Polygon transfer fees (near zero) apply.
What happens to my NFT if I cancel my booking?
If you cancel a booking before the travel date, the associated NFT will be marked as "Cancelled" in its metadata. It remains in your wallet as a collectible but will not unlock rarity-based perks. Cancelled NFTs can still be traded on the marketplace.
How do I start collecting travel NFTs on Travorio?
Getting started is easy. Create a free Travorio account, search for flights or hotels, complete your booking using crypto, Sezzle, PayPal, or card, and your NFT is automatically minted and added to your collection. Every booking earns you a new collectible memory.
