The Aventus Protocol is an open standard event ticketing platform based on blockchain.[1][2][3] The protocol was first outlined by Annika Monari and Alan Vey in a 2016 white paper. The two met in 2015 while studying for their master's degrees at Imperial College, London.[4] They are co-founders and directors of the Aventus Protocol Foundation which oversees Aventus Systems, the only company running the protocol.[1][2]

The Aventus Protocol is based on Ethereum blockchain technology[2] and its crypto token is the Aventus Token (AVT).[4] The project was funded in two rounds. First by a private pre-sale and then, in September 2017,[3] in an initial coin offering. The initial funding was reportedly £26 million,[3] including 60,000 Ether raised.[2]

The Aventus Protocol is intended to make purchasing tickets more transparent and selling them more profitable for an artist or venue. The protocol creates a unique identity for each ticket that is then stored on a public blockchain. Each transaction involving the ticket is likewise recorded publicly. Monari and Vey stated in their white paper that the protocol is a tool to combat counterfeit tickets, uncontrolled resale, and opaque pricing.[2][5]

The Aventus Protocol was used for some of the tickets sold for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[1][3][6]

In 2018, Monari and Vey founded a second company, Artos, based in London. The company partners with ticketing companies to use blockchain technology to more efficiently control and gain visibility to a company's ticketing inventory as it moves through the supply chain.[7]

Most recently, the company has given grants to companies such as Artos, as well as FanDragon Technologies, a startup with headquarters in West Hollywood.[8]
