Let’s be honest—crypto has been a circus lately. Instead of building real solutions, the space has been flooded with meme coins and pump-and-dump projects. It’s fun until it isn’t. But now, we’re starting to see a shift. The projects actually solving problems are about to take center stage.

One of them is OPEN. If you’ve ever been frustrated by ticket scalping, insane resale prices, or just the general mess of event ticketing, this one’s for you. OPEN has been issuing on-chain tickets since 2016, making events more transparent and fair. No more fake tickets, no more outrageous resale markups—just a system that works for fans, artists, and organizers alike.

How It Works

At the core of it all is the OPN token. Event organizers use it to issue tickets and access OPEN’s tools, and at the end of each event cycle, OPN is distributed to stakers, the Ticketing Revolution DAO, and the OPEN treasury. Stakers even get voting rights in the DAO, so the community actually has a say in where things go.

And this isn’t just some small side project—it’s running on Base, Polygon, Solana, and Tezos, meaning it’s built to scale and work across multiple chains.

Big News That Just Dropped

Things just got even more interesting: CM.com just acquired GUTS Tickets. If you don’t know, GUTS was one of the pioneers in blockchain ticketing, and this acquisition is a huge step in bringing the tech to mainstream events. With this move, the founders of GUTS can now fully focus on OPEN, doubling down on their mission to fix ticketing for good.

So, What’s Next?

Crypto’s growing up, and utility-driven projects like OPEN are proving that blockchain can actually solve real problems—not just fuel the next meme frenzy.

What do you think? Are we finally moving past the casino phase of crypto, or is the meme cycle just too strong to break? Let’s talk.
