AVA use casesAVA is transforming loyalty program infrastructure. The ecosystem rewards participants for various contributions, such as customers making purchases, community members helping to expand the network, or suppliers providing inventory.
AVA PaymentsUsers can spend AVA on goods and services at specific sites that accept cryptocurrency, including partner platforms like Travala, where travel bookings can be paid for with AVA. Using AVA on these partner platforms may offer special benefits, such as discounts or exclusive pricing reserved for AVA payments. Any future web3 products launched by or in partnership with the AVA Foundation will be purchasable with AVA. Sales revenue from these products will contribute to the AVA Community Pool, Ecosystem Incentives, and Foundation Reserve to support the long-term sustainability of the AVA ecosystem.
AVA GivebacksReceiving AVA back on purchases serves as a strong supply mechanism that attracts new users and fosters loyalty. Through the AVA Smart Program, partner projects can offer AVA givebacks, where customers receive a portion of their purchase cost back in AVA, determined by their membership tier.
AVA Buyback ProgramEvery month, the AVA Foundation buys AVA tokens on the open market equal to the USD value of all AVA giveback rewards issued to Smart members for Travala travel bookings in the prior month. These purchases are funded using stablecoins received from Travala through its partnership with the AVA Foundation.
AccessHolding AVA tokens is required to access certain products and services within partner ecosystems. For instance, the AVA Smart Program allows users to lock up AVA to select a specific tier, granting them benefits and exclusive perks like quarterly Travel Credit rewards, luxury travel giveaways, and services such as Open Passport. Partner ecosystems may also implement governance activities, allowing members to influence key platform decisions.
AVA Smart BonusThe AVA Smart Bonus offers Smart members the chance to earn AVA token rewards for participating in the ecosystem each quarter. A Community Vote periodically determines the bonus amount, including whether the AVA Smart Bonus Booster applies. Under the current mechanism, the AVA Smart Bonus is set at an annualised rate of 15% for all Smart members, except for Diamond members, who receive an annualised rate of 20%.
AVA+ RewardsAVA+ Rewards is the newest perk in the AVA Smart Program, allowing members to earn up to 7.5% per year in AVA rewards on up to 200,000 AVA held in their self-custody wallets. This self-custody feature uses a smart contract to distribute rewards based on the member’s Smart membership tier.
AVA Community GovernanceDecentralised governance for the AVA ecosystem is available via vote.avafoundation.org. This platform enables voting on topics related to the AVA token, Travel Tiger NFTs, and the broader ecosystem, as well as future community proposals as part of the ecosystem’s progressive decentralisation. To vote on proposals, participants must be AVA holders, with voting power determined by their AVA balance.
