Airsave Travel – ICO Detailed Information

Airsave Travel: Refer & Save in Crypto

Airsave Travel is a fintech company that was founded in 2015 in London. Their first digital product was an eponymous centralized mobile application that provided means for users to save money for traveling. This app was made available two years ago through Apple’s App Store.

The next stage in the company’s development occurred when they have entered into the partnership agreement with Smart Trip Platform, the blockchain project that specializes in the provision of a wide range of tourist services for individuals and businesses. This cooperation resulted in the development of the decentralized application on the basis of the Ethereum blockchain due to be released later this year.

Social saving on blockchain

Airsave Travel is based on the notion of social saving, which has nothing to do with the concept of Robert Fogel, but stipulates for the active use of social media platforms, and other means for online interaction, to promote the product at hand in exchange for Airsave Miles, the virtual points that users receive upon registration and after making initial activities.

These points can be then converted to the platform’s native ERC-20 tokens - Airsave Travel Coins (ASTC), which, in their turn, can be withdrawn as TASH - the tokens of Smart Trip Platform - or up to 80% of the total sum in Bitcoin. 

Needless to say that the travel industry is on the rise, expected to hit the $2.7 trillion mark in 2019, with a definitive prospect for further growth. Taking into account the migration of all tourism-related online activities, particularly bookings and reservation, to mobile platforms, Airsave Travel might make itself heard in the given niche.   

How Airsave Travel works

In essence, Airsave Travel is a decentralized referral application that assigns a unique referral code to each user after he completes the registration. After the dApp connects to the user’s existing social media pages, he can start saving for travel and earning rewards by inviting friends and sharing the provided referral code. For each successfully referred friend or contact acquired through the platform's social sharing feature, the user gets paid the equivalent of $5 in Airsave Miles or ASTC tokens. The condition for the referral to be regarded as successful is that the friend also saves the amount of at least $20.

To incentivize the novice users to utilize the application more actively, Airsave Travel allocates the first-time credit in the amount of $14 in ASTC directly to the intra-platform digital savings wallet.

Airsave Travel is a free-to-register but not a free-to-use platform as the company changes $6 regular service fee applicable, however, only after the user reaches the referral threshold of five contacts/friends. Apart from that, the platform will also require making a fixed monthly investment of $20. The withdrawal of saved or earned funds can be made on a quarterly basis. 

IEO details

 Airsave Travel currently holds the IEO at the ExMarkets exchange. The token sale is due to last until July 31, after which the ASTC tokens will be made available for trading. As of now, the price of 1 ASTC is $0.3 with a total of 2 million tokens allocated for sale and 5.3 million reserved for private investors. Airsave Travel offers a rather generous airdrop of 200 thousand tokens. All investors must pass the KYC procedure, though no restrictions are being applied with regard to their country of residence.
