The Aventus is an open standard event ticketing platform based on blockchain.

[1][2] The protocol was first outlined by Annika Monari and Alan Vey in a 2016 white paper.

[citation needed] The protocol creates a unique identity for each ticket that is then stored on a public blockchain.

Monari and Vey stated in their white paper that the protocol is a tool to combat counterfeit tickets, uncontrolled resale, and opaque pricing.

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