FlyEdge Opens Public Preview of Aviation-Focused Blockchain for Tokenized Airline Loyalty

FlyEdge, a B2B platform focused on tokenizing airline loyalty value, has opened a multilingual public preview that allows airlines and travelers to experience and independently verify the full on-chain process—from token issuance and conversion to transfer and redemption.
