13. Ven: the first P2P Social Currency On July 4, 2007, Hub Culture introduced the world’s first peer-to-peer social currency. Ven is traded in a friction-free environment to anyone with an email address and is used to pay for all Pavilion transactions. Ven drives all transactions, whether online or offline, for centralized billing, inventory management, exchange and more. It can also be used as a capital raising tool or as a means of exchange for knowledge from others in the community.
