What Evento is
Evento is an open-source events platform for social coordination and economic activity, with a built-in self-custodial Bitcoin wallet. Hosts can password-protect events, set custom registration forms, approve RSVPs, and remove guests. They can also create nested sub-events, manage co-hosts, import guest lists by CSV, message guests, and send and track email campaigns. Profiles include bios, interests, prompts, follows, and displayed Lightning Addresses; the Events Hub gathers followed events, invitations, co-host requests, and a curated feed. The wallet supports sending and receiving Bitcoin over Lightning and on-chain. Hosts can accept Lightning payments for paid events by entering a price and Lightning Address in payment settings. Evento says payments are peer-to-peer and it takes no cut. The wallet is built on Breez and Spark, supports spending through Bitrefill, and provides access to Bitcoin buying and selling services. Developers can use a read-only Public API or a no-auth Embed API; public API keys are limited to 1,000 requests per day. Evento is free to use for events and is available on web, iOS, Android, and API.
