Full press release here

Ahead of our public token sale on September 6 at 12pm UTC (see https://sale.aventus.io), Aventus is pleased to announce our first product iteration, our Blockchain as Persistence (BaP) product, which showcases one of our first clients, Townsend Music, live on the Rinkeby test net!

Townsend Music is a proven leader in D2C service solutions with high profile clients such as Stormzy, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and The Prodigy, and run worldwide physical, digital and retail distribution campaigns alongside the biggest major and independent record labels, artists and management companies.

BaP is the first step in our iterative approach to showing how we integrate with ticketing systems that are primarily off-chain, and slowly bringing them on-chain. With BaP, a traditional ticketing system’s activity (creation of event and tickets, transfer of ownership, and sale of tickets) is mirrored on the blockchain in real time. The purpose of the product is to get traditional companies familiar with blockchain and how it works. The next step, which you will see in coming weeks, will be turning off clients’ traditional ticketing system backends and solely using our blockchain-based protocol and Aventus.js server wrapper infrastructure as their backend.

We have produced a visualisation of Townsend’s ticketing activity on the Aventus protocol here. Please note: for security, we have only shown you a sample of their data, and we have anonymised it. The visualiser also connects to the alpha, so you will be able to see how it is showing data by playing with the alpha and then viewing the results!

You can see the full press release here of our partnership. There, you will also see that we got a quote from Matt Hancock, the U.K. Minister of Digital and Culture, after we presented to him at the Data Science Institute at Imperial College a couple of months ago.

As a UK company, we are more than grateful for his comment; we are also ecstatic to be working with a fellow British company.
