In my previous community post, I highlighted why I felt that there is not an ecosystem in existence that can dream of rivaling the feature rich  Tratok. When it comes to hospitality you have many of the following sites that offer utility to users: Booking portals. Review sites. Concierge sites. Payment providers. Social media sites. However none of these sites offer a complete ecosystem with all of these features in an interlinked and easy to use format. This is where Tratok stands out as a real game changer with high potential market differential value creation. As a community manager at Tratok, I want you all to be able to make the most of all these features and have the best user experience possible. So today, I'm going to take you…

When Tratok said it would solve the dozens of problems plaguing and holding back the hospitality industry, people laughed and ignored. Well their laughter didn't age well. The first generation pilot tests irrefutably demonstrated we could solve the most painful parts. Then the second generation pilot tests during the pandemic showed that not even the pandemic could hinder the progress we brought to the industry. Then the third generation pilot tests came along and showed the world an even better solution. All of a sudden guests realized they could forget hidden fees, scam-infested booking sites, refunds being held ransom and soul-draining planning marathons. Service providers realized they no longer would have to worry about double digit commissions, waiting 180 days to get paid, extortionate membership fees and rate parity. They…

When I joined Tratok as a community manager in February 2025, I expected to be joining a niche ecosystem that would try to nibble away at the market share of larger incumbents. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Rewind to my first team presentation where I suggested to focus significant efforts on building a discord community. My colleagues rolled their eyes and argued that hype and noise are worthless without a product that makes a difference. They were right for two reasons. Firstly, the crypto space has seen a million discord channels where people hype and celebrate tokens with no accomplishments only to disband months later without anything except broken dreams. Secondly, while a community is important, why focus solely on building a community elsewhere when you can…

As promised last weekend, we are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey toward building a robust and secure blockchain ecosystem. Our bridge contracts have been updates, finalized, rigorously tested, and audited, ensuring they meet the highest standards of security and reliability. The source code for these contracts is now publicly available on GitHub, and we invite everyone to review it by clicking here: Tratok Blockchain Bridge on GitHub. Prioritizing Security with Multi-Signature Wallets Security is at the core of everything we do at Tratok. To safeguard our bridging system, we have implemented multi-signature (multi-sig) wallets to control access and prevent any potential abuse. This approach requires multiple authorized parties to approve transactions, adding an extra layer of protection compared to single-signature systems. While multi-sig wallets may introduce…

Following two late strategic meetings yesterday evening, Tratok has decided to fast-track the deployment of its oracle and bridge infrastructure, ahead of the timeline shared in yesterday’s end-of-week update. Initially slated for a later phase, a pivotal meeting with two key service providers and a blockchain Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) revealed that implementing these features in parallel with other milestones will streamline integration and eliminate future pain points. While this does result in a more dense work schedule for us in the immediate future, this decision will make integration easier going forward and underscores our Team's commitment to innovation and adaptability in the rapidly evolving blockchain landscape. The new bridge will enable Tratok to operate seamlessly across both the Ethereum blockchain and Binance Smart Chain (BSC), unlocking a host…
