Winding Tree announced the successful pilot of a live booking for Hobo Hotel Stockholm, part of the Nordic Choice Hotels group. The startup claims this is the first hotel booking on a public blockchain, in this case Ethereum.
“We’re really excited to be the first hotel to jump onto the blockchain bandwagon, showing real customer use of decentralized technology,” says Christian Lunden, Director of Future Business at Nordic Choice Hotels. “The ability to make reservations on a public blockchain is a huge achievement, and we’re looking forward to continuing to educating the industry about the importance of incorporating blockchain technology into the space.”
