Someone tried to solve a big schlep of event organizing.

Through this app, you:

Pledge money when signing up to an event
Lose it if you don't attend
Get it back if you attend + a share of the money from all the no-shows

For some reason it uses crypto as the currency. I'm also not sure about the third clause, which seems to incentivise you to want others to no-show to get their deposits.

Anyway, I've heard people wanting something like this to exist and might try it myself at some future event I'll organize.
