Aventus Classic exists as the protocol was outlined in the original Aventus Protocol Foundation whitepaper. Aventus Classic was built with the intention of solving the same core industry problems but the viability of this working at scale was questioned, which led to fork and the design and development of a Tier 2 Protocol solution that supports the latest version of the whitepaper.
Principally, the Classic protocol was too closely tied to the Ethereum network and hence inherits some of its current flaws; including the ability to scale large transaction volumes in short time periods. Despite this, the Classic protocol is still a viable solution for a grassroots event owner working with low ticket volumes.
Find below a high-level overview of the Classic protocol and how to interact with the smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum Testnet (Rinkeby).
