Epic Chain (EPIC)

Rank #1026

Epic Chain, with the EPIC token, was created as a travel layer for the crypto ecosystem. The goal is to allow holders to purchase tickets and hotel bookings with access to discounts compared to retail platforms. The proposal connects travel benefits to a payment flow compatible with cryptocurrencies and traditional methods.

What Epic Chain is used for

On Epic Chain, the platform offers access to travel inventory including hotels and flights. According to the disclosed model, the offers come from more than 100 wholesale suppliers, which helps expand what may be available to consumers compared to historical retail prices. The service includes global coverage of hotels and airlines in several countries.

Payments, cashback, and acceptance

Bookings made on Epic can generate cashback of up to 8%, paid in XRP. In addition, the operation accepts the main cryptocurrencies as well as traditional methods such as Visa, Mastercard, and Apple Pay. With this, the experience aims to serve both users in the crypto sector and those who prefer conventional payments.

Epic Concierge and benefits for holders

For EPIC holders with US$ 10.000 or more, there is access to Epic Concierge, a service dedicated to complete travel planning. The service is also described as offering additional discounted rates, at no additional cost for those eligible.
