Cryptocurrency travel platform Travala launched a permanent AVA strategic reserve, with monthly buybacks doubling

According to Chainwire, the crypto travel booking platform Travala and AVA Foundation announced a matching buyback arrangement. Travala will fund the buyback independently and in addition to the existing rewards supplementary buyback from AVA Foundation, increasing the monthly open market buyback amount from 1 times the member rewards to 2 times. The matched AVA purchased will be transferred to a new Travala AVA strategic reserve wallet, which is multi-sig custodial, and Travala commits that the AVA in it will never be sold or transferred out.

Under the existing mechanism, AVA Foundation repurchases an amount of AVA each month equivalent to the amount of AVA distributed to AVA Smart members in the previous month and transfers it back to the ecological incentive wallet, with a historical total of 4,824,722 AVA repurchased. The first matched buyback has been completed: the Foundation repurchased 369,881.04 AVA in September, corresponding to the member rewards in August; Travala independently matched and purchased another 369,881.04 AVA, totaling 739,762.08 AVA. The Travala portion has been transferred to address 0x7bed1889c21d9eb3560463c14cd74fe29f2d03b6, and both buybacks can be verified on-chain separately.

The AVA transferred to this wallet is permanently locked, with the monthly portion removed from the circulating supply and excluded from the official circulating supply through the AVA circulating supply interface. Travala will submit the reserve wallet address to CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, and both parties will publicly report the numbers of the two buybacks each month.
