$GBACK fuels aviation history, onboarding the industry’s first on-chain FBO network

Multiple fuel and service payments have now settled on Solana through the Giveback protocol, a working bridge between traditional business finance and the blockchain.

•  Freedom Air Services has made multiple payments to Stellar Aviation through the Giveback protocol since its first on-chain Jet A purchase, paid in $GBACK on October 19, 2026

•  The protocol brings traditional finance on chain: standard invoices, company bank accounts and business verification, settled on Solana

•  Payments settle on Solana in a fraction of a second, any day, with systems that bring stability to each transaction and a permanent public record

RENO, Nev. (October 29, 2026). Gback Ventures Inc today announced that Freedom Air Services and Stellar Aviation Group have made multiple payments through its Giveback protocol since October 19, when Freedom Air paid for Jet A in GiveBack ($GBACK) in aviation’s first known charter-to-FBO cryptocurrency purchase. Every payment has settled on the Solana blockchain.

Freedom Air, a Part 135 charter operator, pays for Jet A and FBO services at Stellar Aviation’s Reno-Tahoe FBO through the Giveback protocol, with invoices settled in a fraction of a second. Stellar now accepts

$GBACK for fuel, services, hangar rentals and ancillary charges across its FBOs in Nevada, Florida and Illinois.

This is where the real utility lies. Businesses run on bank accounts, invoices and compliance checks, and most blockchain payments ask them to work around those systems. The Giveback protocol connects them instead. Onboarding links a company’s bank account to a multi-signature treasury on Solana, Stellar bills from its existing invoicing, Freedom Air pays from its company account, and every payment arrives on chain with the records a finance team expects.

The Giveback protocol is built for business transfers rather than general trading. It ties each payment to an invoice, streamlines know-your-business checks, handles fees and rebates, and has systems in place to bring stability to each transaction. That is why Freedom Air chose $GBACK over a general-purpose token.

Solana makes this practical for a business. Payments settle in a fraction of a second, around the clock, at a network cost that is typically a fraction of a cent, with no chargebacks once settled. Solana is also one of the leading networks for stablecoin payments and tokenized real-world assets, which is why Gback Ventures built its protocol there.

“Through $GBACK, this transaction has introduced a new form of utility to the blockchain, one that is completely unprecedented.”
