# Island
|
|
|
|
Island.ag proposed a DeFi loyalty program combined with hotel booking platform designed to offer crypto users discounted luxury hotel stays. The project aimed to connect DeFi protocols seeking user deposits with travelers seeking rewards, positioning itself as "Booking.com + Travala + Neutral Trade" for crypto. Users would earn Island Points through DeFi participation, redeemable for hotel discounts or luxury stay raffles.
|
|
|
|
The project raised through Futardio on 2026-03-04 with a $50,000 target but only secured $250 in commitments before entering refunding status, indicating market rejection of the concept or execution.
