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.</p><p>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 Since AVA has real-world value as a cryptocurrency, AVA can also be withdrawn from any platform that supports it.</p><h3 id="ava-givebacks">AVA Givebacks</h3><p>The ability to Travel &amp; 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. .</p><h3 id="referral-programs">Referral Programs</h3><p>Referral programs are a proven and effective method for attracting new users to an ecosystem. By implementing AVA referral rewards in partner ecosystems, users can refer friends and family to get rewarded for each referral in AVA. On Travala.com, for example, when the referee makes a successful hotel booking, they receive a US$25 reward in AVA. The referrer also receives US$25 in AVA for every invited friend who purchases a booking that meets the minimum value and completes the stay at the property.</p><p></p><h2 id="header-8">About AVA Foundation</h2><p>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.</p><p></p><p></p>
