Fanio is a trustless crowdfunding protocol for live events. It transforms fans from passive ticket buyers into active stakeholders by issuing EventTokens ($EVENT) that fund shows upfront, provide real utility, and guarantee secondary liquidity through decentralized markets.
Our mission is to democratize live event funding by aligning incentives between fans and organizers. Fanio empowers creators with upfront liquidity, engages fans as active participants, and uses DeFi infrastructure to bring transparency, fairness, and programmability to the cultural economy.
The live events industry suffers from structural inefficiencies:
Organizers carry all the risk. They must advance capital for venues, logistics, and artists, hoping sales cover costs. If break-even isn’t reached, they lose money.
Fans remain passive. Despite being the true source of demand, fans have no voice in funding or event decisions.
Ticketing platforms capture value. They hold the money until after the show, charge high fees, and provide no liquidity for fans.
Result: promoters face high risk and limited liquidity, while fans have no way to express demand or participate in upside.
Fanio introduces programmable liquidity and event-based tokens:
Each show issues EventTokens ($EVENT) during a pre-funding phase.
If the goal is met, organizers receive their full target in USDC upfront, without debt or interest.
A Uniswap v4 pool with a custom hook ensures continuous liquidity for EventTokens. Fees from swaps strengthen the pool and sustain the protocol.
Fans not only hold a liquid token but also unlock utilities: early access, discounts, merch perks, and voting rights.
The model removes intermediaries, reduces promoter risk, and turns fans into stakeholders.
Fanio generates revenue through a dual fee structure: Protocol Fee on Successful Campaigns When an event reaches its funding goal, the organizer pays a 10% fee in USDC from the amount raised. This ensures Fanio only earns when organizers succeed. Swap Fees from Secondary Market Every EventToken ($EVENT) trade in the Uniswap v4 pool includes a liquidity provider fee. A portion of these fees is automatically directed to Fanio for protocol sustainability, while another portion is locked into the pool to strengthen liquidity. This hybrid model aligns incentives: Organizers get upfront capital with transparent costs. Fans enjoy liquidity and token utility. Fanio sustains itself through long-term protocol usage instead of extracting excessive margins.
