On May 22, 2025, Rhuna announced a strategic partnership with the Aptos Foundation to enhance its AI-powered event infrastructure platform using blockchain technology.

This collaboration aims to leverage the capabilities of the Aptos Network to provide a secure, scalable, and intelligent event management experience for organizers and attendees.

Since its inception, Rhuna has processed over $90 million in event volume, serving more than 2 million unique attendees across 165 global events, with ambitious plans to expand its user base to over 30 million by 2027.

The platform targets a variety of sectors, including music festivals, conferences, sports leagues, and theme parks, focusing on enhancing user engagement and revenue generation.

Rhuna aims to streamline event access significantly, reducing average check-in times from 10 minutes to under 2 minutes through the use of NFC wearables and facial recognition technology.

By utilizing the Aptos Network, Rhuna can process millions of transactions with sub-second finality during high-traffic events, which helps lower costs for users.

Key features of Rhuna's platform include instant secure payments, NFT resale royalties, and real-time AI insights on attendee behavior, all designed to enhance the overall event experience.

Rhuna provides a comprehensive suite of tools for event organizers, including AI-powered discovery, token-based tools, and integration APIs that facilitate seamless operation with existing systems.

Founded by the creators of the UNTOLD Festival, Rhuna seeks to revolutionize the live event industry by integrating multiple aspects of event management into a single, innovative solution.

CEO Sveatoslav Vizitiu emphasized that the speed and scalability offered by Aptos are crucial for delivering AI-driven personalization in mass-market events.

Rhuna's ecosystem also supports various partners, such as marketing agencies and hardware integrators, enabling them to leverage its network effects for their Web3 strategies.

The Aptos Foundation is dedicated to supporting the development of the Aptos protocol and enhancing user engagement with blockchain technology.
