Event financing
In addition to streamlining the ticketing process, using onchain ticketing exposes further features that simplify the lives of regular artists in ways never before conceivable. Consider OPEN’s new event financing tool, which allows event planners and artists to use their unsold on-chain ticket inventory as collateral for DeFi funding, therefore crowdsourcing the necessary funds to realise a gig, tour, or festival.
A programmable yield is awarded to those who assist in making these events happen; this yield is automatically delivered at the time of ticket sales. This method combines the most recent RWA & DeFi tools to give authors autonomy and freedom.
