🚀 Now you can book a hotel using NFT technology
The owners of Casa de Campo Resort & Villas have found a new way to use the NFT for travel — the ability to book a room using tokens. Such tokens were called Room Night (RNT).
The hotel works in partnership with Pinktada, reservations specialists. Pinktada users can buy RNT for hotel reservations in the Caribbean, Mexico, San Francisco and Hawaii using the ETH cryptocurrency.
The creators of the technology believe that it will help people more flexibly book and resell room reservations to others while traveling. For example, if the vacation is unexpectedly canceled due to work, and the room has already been paid.
To use RNT and buy or sell hotel rooms in the form of tokens, you need to be registered on the Pinktada website.

⚡️ Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin introduced a new type of token
The new kind is called soulbound tokens (SBT), or "soulbound". The essence of the new NFTs is that they are non-transferable, and each individual can receive SBT based on their work and education history.
Vitalik borrowed the idea of new tokens from his favorite game World of Warcraft, where for killing very strong opponents they give out unique personal items that cannot be transferred to other players or sold at auction, they can only be used in the game.
Soulbound tokens (SBT) will allow you to build a kind of ranking system, with which you can view the reputation and achievements of each person. According to Vitalik, now Web3 “is missing a soul”, and new tokens will strengthen the social identity of people.
"Soulbound-tokens" may be presented at the end of this year. Buterin also noted that SBT can change the Web3 industry.
