Good afternoon everyone! Now that June is coming to a close it's time for us to re-open community representative elections for three candidates looking to further the DAO's ambitions. We extend a warm thankyou to Brom, OliverP and Sjors for their hard work as community representatives between January and June, for which I'm sure the community too are deeply grateful.

If you would like to apply to become a representative or participate in the discussion then follow the link below to the governance forum. Voting will begin in 7 days time on the 1st July and last for a further 7 days until the 8th July ✊ 🎟️

This month is lining up to be a packed calendar for events and ticket sales!
https://x.com/onopenxyz/status/1857030790996971742

Did you know that according to recent reports, high demand ticket sales in 2023 were comprised of 96% bot activity pre-sale and 40% of traffic during sales?

These scalped tickets inevitably end up on external secondary markets, causing the average large event, losses of over $41k in revenue.

The global secondary market is valued at north of $10 billion revenue a year, making this an incredibly lucrative and missed opportunity for artists and organizers around the world.

That's where #onchain ticketing can step in, as revenue splits are enforced on the smart contract level and any marketplace that wishes to integrate and sell these tickets whether primary or secondary must adhere to the contract logic.

Onchain revenue flows directly to organizers and can be split off to all parties in the event cycle, from artists to promoters to even decentralized fan affiliate networks.

The future is bright when it's onchain.
At OPEN we're leading the way
