Rhuna Partners with Aptos Foundation for AI Blockchain Event Infrastructure

Rhuna, a white-label AI-powered event infrastructure platform, has announced its strategic partnership and investment from the Aptos Foundation. This collaboration aims to revolutionize event management by integrating cutting-edge AI and blockchain technologies, providing unmatched efficiency and security on the Aptos network.

Leveraging Aptos Network’s high-throughput, low-latency architecture, Rhuna will introduce a new era of secure, scalable, and intelligent event infrastructure. This will empower organizers and attendees with unparalleled transparency, automation, and data insights. The platform is designed to process instant, secure payments through a closed-loop, tokenized system that reduces fees, speeds up transactions, and works both online and offline, even in low-connectivity zones. Additionally, it will generate new revenue streams through NFT resale royalties, tokenized perks, and real-time loyalty rewards that increase engagement and lifetime value.

Rhuna’s suite of solutions includes frictionless access with NFC wearables, facial recognition, and QR-based automation, cutting average check-in time from 10 minutes to under 2. It also provides real-time AI insights on crowd behavior, purchases, and traffic flows to optimize staffing, pricing, and marketing on the fly. The platform allows for the onboarding of anyone in seconds via social/email login and account abstraction, giving both Web2 and Web3 users auto-generated wallets tied to their activity.

By building on Aptos, Rhuna unlocks sub-second finality for millions of transactions during peak festival moments, while dramatically reducing costs for organizers and attendees. Since 2023, Rhuna has processed over $90 million in event volume and served 2 million+ unique attendees, powering 165+ global events from Untold Europe to Dubai’s leading music weeks. Rhuna aims to reach 30 million+ users by 2027, covering music festivals, conferences, brand activations, sports leagues, and theme parks.

Sveatoslav Vizitiu, CEO and Co-Founder of Rhuna, stated, “Blockchain has long promised transparency, but Aptos delivers it with speed, scalability, and developer simplicity. With Aptos, we bring AI-powered personalization to mass-market events. Our partners can now offer unified Web2 + Web3 experiences, tapping into new revenue channels while delighting attendees with frictionless service.”

Rhuna’s ecosystem is built to support both organizers and ecosystem partners, including AI-powered discovery concierge for users to explore events, rewards, and resale opportunities. It also offers plug-and-play hardware such as POS terminals, facial recognition cameras, and offline payment servers. Token-based organizer tools include staking rewards, loyalty integrations, and dynamic tiering. APIs and SDKs are available for brands, ticketing agencies, and venues to integrate Rhuna without replacing their front-end systems.

Marketing agencies, venue operators, payment processors, and hardware integrators can leverage Rhuna’s network effects to accelerate their own Web3 roadmaps. Rhuna is the white-label AI infrastructure for event management, built by the team behind the $200 million-valued UNTOLD festival. With over a decade of live-entertainment experience, Rhuna delivers end-to-end solutions under one roof, including ticketing, payments, crowd management, loyalty tokens, and data analytics.

Founded by the creators of the UNTOLD Festival, Rhuna unifies ticketing, tokenized payments, crowd analytics, loyalty programs, and digital identity into one seamless solution. The platform is customizable, scalable, and invisible to the end user. Aptos Foundation is dedicated to supporting the development of the Aptos protocol, decentralized network, and driving engagement with the Aptos ecosystem. By unlocking a blockchain with seamless usability, Aptos Foundation aims to bring the benefits of decentralization to the masses.
