What Evento is

Evento combines event hosting and community tools with a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet. Hosts can password-protect events, collect registrations using custom forms, approve RSVPs, and remove guests. They can create nested sub-events, manage co-hosts, import guest lists by CSV, message guests, and send and track email campaigns. Profiles support bios, interests, prompts, follows, and displayed Lightning Addresses; the Events Hub brings together followed events, invitations, co-host requests, and a curated feed. The wallet sends and receives Bitcoin over Lightning and on-chain. Hosts can accept Lightning payments for paid events by setting a price and Lightning Address, and Evento says payments are peer-to-peer with no cut taken. The wallet is built on Breez and Spark, supports spending through Bitrefill, and provides access to services for buying and selling Bitcoin. Developers can use a read-only Public API for event and user data or a no-auth Embed API for widgets; public API keys are limited to 1,000 requests per day. Evento is open source and free to use for events, with web, iOS, Android, and API availability.

Who it suits

Evento is aimed at people who lead communities, including organizers of meetups, workshops, hackathons, conference satellite events, and community spaces. Its event tools, community features, and Bitcoin wallet may suit organizers who want those functions together.
