Trip.com shuts down its ‘Trekki’ NFT series

Trekki, the first NFT series incubated by Singapore-based Trip.com, will cease operations on August 1, the team announced on X.

“It is with deep regret that we announce the official termination of the Trekki project,” the team wrote. “Considering the unpredictable changes in the future, we do not rule out the possibility of restarting the Trekki project at some point in the future. If the Trekki team launches new projects in the future, additional benefits may be granted to Trekki NFT holders.” 

Trip.com launched the series of 10,000 dolphin-themed NFTs and supporting infrastructure in 2023 to “enable holders to access experiences and benefits from” the company, according to a press release at the time. 

The series has seen a total of 556 ETH in trading volumes and has a floor price of 0.0034 ETH, according to OpenSea. Over 2,000 unique wallets hold Trekki NFTs, which offered staking rewards as well as discounts on flight and hotel bookings.

The team is deprecating all aspects related to the development of Trekki’s “Phase 2” as well as “community operations” and “collaborative activities.” The team will continue to maintain the official Trekki website, discount page and coupons that give holders special benefits. 

“The functionality to claim Trekki NFT benefits will be retained, with a claim deadline of July 1, 2025. Please ensure you claim all Trekki NFT benefits before the deadline to avoid any losses,” the team wrote.

Trekki NFT users will retain their claimed benefits, like Platinum or Diamond memberships, for one year from the claim date, they added. Similarly, any claimed Trip coins will be valid for one year from the claim date.
