Michael Ros, CEO of Europe at Staynex and founder of [Sleap.io](http://Sleap.io) (recently acquired by Staynex), breaks down how Staynex is building a Web3 travel membership β€” zero booking commissions for hotels, tokenized travel rights, and a revenue-sharing model for members ahead of the April 23 TGE. From why the [Sleap.io](http://Sleap.io) acquisition happened to what $STAY token holders can actually do with it, this is a practical look at what "Netflix for travel" means when it's backed by real inventory and on-chain mechanics. You'll learn: - What a Staynex membership actually unlocks β€” and how it differs from Airbnb, [Booking.com](http://Booking.com), and hotel loyalty programs - Why hotels pay zero commission to list on Staynex and where the platform's revenue actually comes from - What the [Sleap.io](http://Sleap.io) acquisition added to Staynex's European expansion and booking infrastructure - How the $STAY token's Stake & Claim revenue-sharing model works and what holders can do with it - What's actually on-chain β€” memberships, travel rights, rewards, or something else - How Staynex is thinking about post-TGE token distribution and avoiding a sell-off πŸ”— https://www.staynex.vip πŸ””JOIN OUR FREE NEWSLETTER FOR 100X GAINSπŸ””: https://cryptocoinshow.substack.com/subscribe ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/crypto-coin-show-6582644/episodes/your-hotel-loyalty-points-expire-your-ota-takes-20-staynex-built-a-different-model-crypto-coin-show/transcription-requests` β€” Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/crypto-coin-show-6582644/your-hotel-loyalty-points-expire-your-ota-takes-20-staynex-built-a-different-model-crypto-coin-show.md` β€” Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
