Exchange Listings

We get asked daily when we will next be listed on a new exchange. The answer is soon. As we have said multiple times, we are going the extra mile legally to ensure everything is up to scratch and that Aventus and AVT holders have a long and prosperous future.

A short update though: The final steps are completed with the regulators. Alan and Annika will be travelling to Jersey next week Tuesday to wrap things up. Thereafter, the foundation will be ready to execute outstanding exchange listing agreements. We are not giving a time frame, however this has been a long process (longer than anticipated) and we are nearing the end.

Meet Vincent! Our new blockchain engineer

Can you first introduce yourself please, tell us a bit about you? Maybe a fun fact we wouldn’t expect?

I studied engineering (control) at University of Cambridge, but I’ve been working most of my life in software development. Recently, I’ve been learning ways to teach kids programming.

What is it that you do at Aventus? How did you hear about the company and what made you apply for your role?

I’m a blockchain developer at Aventus. I applied through a recruiter who was looking for experienced C++ developers. I basically jumped into it when I was told about this opportunity to build a blockchain solution from the ground up, as I was very excited to join a very dynamic, game-changing industry.

You have years of experience in the industry. Tell us a bit about your background?

I started as an industrial (automation) enginee and have worked for 20+ years in software development in various industries. For the past 10+ years, I have mostly developed codes in various enterprise systems in finance (electronic market-making and high-frequency trading), telecommunication and automated manufacturing in high-throughput, low-latency and distributed environments using C++.

When did you first hear and start learning about blockchain? What is the most interesting thing about it to you?

I tried mining bitcoin and some altcoins a few years ago, but never got around to doing it the “right” way. However, the exercise strengthened my interest in blockchain. In particular, I like the programmability aspect of the smart contract in blockchain.

What do you hope to achieve at Aventus? What are you particularly excited to work on?

I want to help build secure, cost-efficient systems to reduce the cost of ticket sales transactions. I am particularly excited to work on ways to optimize secure decentralized apps in terms of transaction cost and speed of processing.

How can the community get more involved with what you are doing at Aventus?

Send some Ethers to a bounty account for 6 months. The bounty account gets to keep any appreciated value, which is used to reward users for testing and bug-finding of Aventus system. Donors may redeem up to the maximum donated Ethers or a certain portion from the remaining pool, whichever is lower.

Why do you think Aventus is relevant for society, and specifically for ticketing?

Aventus aims to reduce friction and transaction costs using blockchain. The know-how and experience can be deployed to the wider audience in the blockchain industry in general and the ticketing industry in particular.

What are your hobbies?

I like table-tennis and badminton.
