It is Friday which automatically means the end of the week (duh!). So what has happened at AAVIO? Here’s a quick summary;

We started with getting our domains up to speed. We succesfully obtained the domains AAVIO.io and AAVIO.com and put the maintenance website live (web development starts end of this month). We then made it possible to opt-in for our mailing list and to directly join our community. We also posted our first real blog this week! In this blog we explain how airlines price their tickets. Never pay more than you should, read it here.

F*CK IT

It is the motto that we live by as it just adds some sprinkles of adventure and spontaneity to the mix. It is the creed that originated into the idea for AAVIO. As our business is build with this mentality in mind we want to introduce a fairness policy. We’ve seen practices in the Crypto industry that we want to stay far away from. So F*CK IT, we are going to do things differently. Everything you see is REAL. So no pumped Telegram groups, fake volumes, bogus likes and imaginary partnerships. Your new rule in this game is the following; If in doubt, call us out.

Channels

We’ve opened several channels to reach out to our community. We’ve chosen these platforms for their specific characteristics. Instead of Twitter we’ve opened the announcement channel on Telegram. This is the place where all official announcements are being shared first. An ideal space where all announcements are well organised for most people in crypto as they’re already active on Telegram. However, our community is based on Discord due to its scalability and usability. This is where the team will be available for the public and all questions are answered. And then there is our Instagram to get you in the travel mood.

Token distribution

We’ve gone over the token distribution and the sketch we have now consists of doing a token sale with two stages; private and public. As we want to double check the feasibility of this structure, we are publishing the final token distribution next week. If you want to help us improve this structure you are welcome on our Discord channel.

Our platform; AAVIO X and AAVIO GEO

So what is AAVIO going to be like? AAVIO has two applications which are designed to operate in perfect symbiosis. The one completes the other and both enhance the position of the AAVIO token for all stakeholders within the AAVIO infrastructure.

This is the Dapp that enables travelers to book last second tickets on their smartphone. To unlock the Dapp and start flying, users need to pay an X amount of AAVIO tokens. These tokens can be earned back by doing challenges at the user’s destination, living up to the promise of adventure and spontaneity.

AAVIO GEO

Via this web portal, businesses like bars, restaurants or clubs can assign AAVIO tokens to locations and challenges. Due to the demographic user-data that AAVIO has, the portal enables the business owner to target their customer-group with high precision. Since the user visits the location physically in order to collect the tokens, people are literally entering the building. Then it is up to the entrepreneur/ business owner to interact with this new potential customer. So where Facebook and Google charge for every click, AAVIO charges for every visit.

This is just a sneak peek of what is about to be announced. We will post a special blog on the complete business model soon.

AAVIO uniform

*Just a mockup model, we have beards.

We’ve just ordered some sweaters to keep us warm during the cold Northern European winter. If you want to rock one too, just let us know. We ordered some extra. We are not making a dime on this so it is pure for fun. Price is €35 excluding shipment. #limitededition

So that was our week! We want to wish you a fantastic weekend with lots of banter and good fun.

So what do you think about the project so far? Let us know on Discord!
