Rhuna

What is Rhuna?

Rhuna is a white-label infrastructure stack for live entertainment that brings payments, ticketing, access control, and event data together in one connected platform. It is designed to replace fragmented vendor setups with a unified layer that manages how fans pay, receive access, and move through cashless experiences.

Rhuna also focuses on programmable payment settlement, including smart contract settlement concepts, festival currency flows, and reconciliation of revenue across events. The platform is presented as being built by operators with experience running large numbers of global live events.

Fiat and crypto payment rails: Accepts fiat and cryptocurrency payments, and includes integrated credit card processing for events and venues.
Real-time settlement and reconciliation: Positions settlement as real-time with automated settlement and full reconciliation to reduce delays associated with traditional clearing.

Conferences and summits with tiered registration and badge-based access: Use registration tiers, sponsor portals, badge-based access control, and post-event attribution within the event stack to avoid coordinating multiple vendor systems.
