[Revised Proposal] Integrate XVS as a Payment Option on Travala.com

Introduction

Following the initial announcement regarding $XVS integration with Travala.com, this proposal presents a refined and expanded version of the proposal. It incorporates deeper marketing alignment, campaign structure, and transparent budget allocation ensuring greater impact for both the Venus community and the broader DeFi ecosystem.


About Travala

Travala.com stands as the largest OTA (Online Travel Agency) in the crypto sphere, accepting over 120 cryptocurrencies as payment options. With 80%+ of all bookings paid in crypto, and a monthly revenue hitting an ATH with over $10M.

Notably, Travala boasts major partnerships with industry giants like Expedia, Booking, Agoda, Viator, and KAYAK, further solidifying its position in the market.

With the addition of Travala’s Best Price Guarantee policy, users can rest assured that they will be paying the most competitive prices in the market.


Summary

This proposal seeks to integrate $XVS as a payment method on Travala.com, a leading crypto-friendly travel platform. The goal is to expand the real-world utility of $XVS, enabling Venus community members to use their tokens to book travel products including flights, hotels, and activities across more than 230 countries.


Motivation

Currently, $XVS primarily serves as a governance token and DeFi incentive mechanism. This integration aims to strengthen its utility case by offering a tangible use scenario in the real world. As adoption of crypto payment platforms increases, this proposal positions $XVS for broader exposure beyond DeFi users and enhances its perceived value through everyday use cases.

Conclusion

This proposal strengthens the original Travala integration plan by moving beyond token acceptance and focusing on execution, engagement, and ecosystem growth.

With a structured $50K campaign, and a long-term co-branded presence on Travala.com, this initiative brings $XVS utility into the hands of real users — turning passive holders into active participants.

We believe this partnership reflects the Venus community’s forward-looking ambition and offers a practical next step in making XVS a truly usable, global asset.
