Alleviate fraud and provide transparency
On Sept 12, Aventus Network announced in a blog post the release of Aventus Classic, a fully decentralized open-source Ethereum-based ticketing protocol designed to stop fraud and provide more transparency to the event ticketing industry. The announcement goes on to say:

The release of the new ticketing protocol coincides with a $15,000 prize competition for blockchain developers.

The winning build will be presented at The Satoshi Awards’ in mid-2020.
