Why Open Platforms Attract Spam
When ticketing platforms allow anyone with an email address to publish events without verification, disaster follows: unauthorized individuals create fake college parties, scammers collect money for nonexistent workshops, and the platform becomes flooded with low-quality promotional spam.
Spark protects students and authorized societies through a simple, decentralized gatekeeping mechanism: the event host code.

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘- Proof of Campus Legitimacy: A host code confirms that the organizing committee represents a genuine university club, student chapter (IEEE, ACM, GDG), or recognized academic society.
- Preventing Commercial Scams: Commercial third-party promoters cannot masquerade as official university societies to extract ticket fees from students.
- Decentralized Campus Governance: Rather than waiting for a corporate bureaucracy in another city to approve events, local Campus Ambassadors distribute host codes directly to student leads within minutes.
