AVA 2.0 Demand Use Cases
There are several use cases in the ecosystem that generate demand for the AVA token. These use cases are key to explaining the core questions of “Why should I use AVA?”, “What can I use AVA for?” and “Why should I hold AVA?”.
AVA Payments
Users can make payments in AVA, including within the Travala.com platform for bookings, Travel Credits and Gift Cards. The key benefits of paying with AVA include special discounts on Travala.com of an additional up to 3% when making travel bookings. Any future web3 products introduced by the AVA Foundation will be purchasable in AVA, with sales revenues contributing to the AVA Community Pool, Ecosystem Incentives and Foundation Reserve for the ongoing long-term sustainability of the AVA ecosystem.
Access
Users require AVA tokens to access certain products and services within partner ecosystems. For example, the Smart Program enables users to lock up AVA to access the Smart Program tier of their choice and receive benefits as well as special access to exclusive perks such as travel drop giveaways, Ambassador bonuses and services like the Open Passport. The Community Vote for Smart members gives members the opportunity to determine Travala.com platform decisions.
AVA Earn Programs
Earn programs for earning AVA are available on third-party platforms such as Binance Earn, Gate.io Lock & Earn, and KuCoin Earn. These are accessible by locking up AVA for short, flexible and long-term periods of time. There could also be web3 earn programs if proposed and passed by the community via the AVA Foundation Governance feature.
AVA Foundation Governance
Decentralised governance features for the AVA ecosystem will be introduced via Snapshot to provide greater community involvement, enabling voting on use cases related to the AVA token as well as submission of community proposals as part of the progressive decentralisation of the AVA ecosystem. To submit and vote on proposals, participants will need to be AVA holders. Voting power is based on a holder’s AVA balance.
AVA 2.0 Supply Use Cases
There are also supply use cases which introduce new AVA tokens into circulation through the completion of certain actions within the AVA ecosystem and partner ecosystems.
Loyalty Discounts & Rewards
The AVA token functions as the key to accessing web3 loyalty programs and provides perks to end users, such as AVA payment discounts, AVA loyalty rewards, and more. Users can lock up AVA to access the Smart Program tier of their choice and receive discounts and loyalty rewards. The higher the Smart tier, the more AVA required, and the greater the benefits.
AVA rewards can be used within ecosystems to purchase in-platform products or upgrade memberships. Since AVA has real-world value as a cryptocurrency, AVA can also be withdrawn from any platform that supports it.
AVA Givebacks
The ability to Travel & Earn AVA for completing purchases is a powerful supply tool that introduces new users to AVA and encourages user loyalty. When a travel booking is completed on Travala.com, for example, the traveller receives up to 10% of the booking price back in AVA based on their Smart Program Membership.
About AVA Foundation
The AVA Foundation’s overarching mission is to create a decentralised and self-sufficient blockchain-based loyalty ecosystem with AVA at its core. The AVA token functions as the key to accessing web3 loyalty programs and provides perks to end users, such as AVA payment discounts, AVA loyalty rewards, gated access benefits, and more. AVA tokenises the concept of loyalty reward programs using blockchain technology, bringing web3 to traditional loyalty models.
