A deposit, a room, and a contract that settles from what the room proves about itself.
The deposit is what holds your place. The contract takes it — the organizer never does.
Scan the screen at the venue once on arrival. That is its own transaction, so the chain timestamps when you walked in — not the submitter.
Scan people you actually meet. Each scan adds to both people's count, but you only qualify once you have scanned someone yourself. Codes rotate every fifteen seconds, so a forwarded screenshot is worthless.
Everyone confirmed present reclaims their deposit and splits what the no-shows forfeited. The organizer has no function that touches it.
Real participation, real opportunitiesEvery time you turn up it becomes a record anyone can check. The record belongs to you, not to a platform.
Whoever created the event has no function that releases, withholds, or receives a single wei. That is not a promise — it is the absence of a door.
The same account can do both — these are two ways in, not two kinds of person. Anyone can host; there is no approval step.
