Which crypto wallet do I need to book on trip1?
In short
- You do not need a special wallet to book on trip1 - any standard crypto wallet that holds a supported coin works, including mobile, desktop, hardware, and exchange wallets.
- trip1 does not give you a wallet or hold a balance for you. You scan a QR code at checkout and pay from a wallet you already control.
- For most travelers, a free mobile or browser wallet is the easiest choice because it can scan the checkout code and send payment in seconds.
What is a crypto wallet?
A crypto wallet is an app or device that stores the keys you use to send and receive cryptocurrency. It does not hold your coins the way a physical wallet holds cash - it holds the keys that prove the coins on the blockchain are yours.
On trip1, your wallet is simply the tool you use to send payment at checkout. trip1 is a hotel booking platform where you can book from over 3 million hotels in 190+ countries and pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, and 50+ other cryptocurrencies through CoinGate, a MiCA-licensed payment provider.
Which wallet types work on trip1?
Any wallet that can send a supported cryptocurrency on a supported network will work. That covers four common types:
- Mobile wallets - apps on your phone that scan QR codes directly. The most convenient option for booking.
- Browser or desktop wallets - extensions or programs on your computer, handy if you book from a laptop.
- Hardware wallets - physical devices that store keys offline and connect to a companion app to send.
- Exchange accounts - custodial wallets on platforms like Binance or Kraken, which let you withdraw crypto straight to the checkout address.
Which wallet should you choose?
If you are new to crypto, a reputable mobile wallet is the simplest starting point. It lets you hold a supported coin, scan the trip1 checkout QR code, and confirm payment in a few taps.
If you already hold crypto on an exchange or a hardware wallet, you can pay from those too. What matters is that your wallet supports the coin and network shown at checkout.
Important: Always confirm the cryptocurrency and network shown in the trip1 checkout window match what your wallet is sending. Sending on the wrong network cannot be reversed and trip1 cannot recover those funds.
