How it works
Under the hood, every ticket is a programmable digital asset on a public blockchain. Here’s what that means from on-sale to encore, and why fans never have to think about it.

The lifecycle
Six moments in the life of a ticket, and what gets written to the ledger at each one.
The organizer sets the price and the rules: the artist and venue split, transfer window and purchase limits. Those rules become part of every ticket.

If plans change, the fan lists the ticket or sends it to a friend in the app. The artist and venue get their split, and the new owner is verified, every time.

At the door the fan shows a code that rotates every few seconds. One scan and the ticket is marked used, so it can’t be passed back through the line.

When the show closes, revenue is split between artist, venue, promoter and partners exactly as the deal says, with one record everybody can see.

Under the hood
Fans and box office staff only ever touch the top layer. The rules engine and the ledger do the enforcing, so nobody has to trust a middleman’s spreadsheet.
Experience
Web, mobile, Apple & Google Wallet, door scanners, box office
Payments
Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay in. Bank payouts out.
Rules engine
Smart contracts enforce resale splits, transfer windows and payouts
Ledger
A public, low-fee, proof-of-stake blockchain records ownership and history
Personal data stays off-chain
Security & trust
Virtual queues, purchase limits and verified-fan presales help tickets reach real fans.
Every ticket is tied to a verified account, so fans always know they’re buying a real ticket from a real person.
Codes refresh every few seconds. Screenshots, photocopies and duplicates don’t scan.
Every sale, transfer and scan is recorded. Disputes are settled by the record, not by guesswork.
Names, emails and payment details never go on-chain. Only anonymous ticket IDs do.
Built on proof-of-stake infrastructure, with a negligible footprint per ticket.
FAQ
We build on a high-throughput, proof-of-stake public blockchain where each transaction costs a fraction of a cent. We cover those costs, so fans and organizers never pay network fees.
Technically, yes: each ticket is a unique digital token. But it’s built for getting into shows. Resales pay the artist and venue, transfers follow the organizer’s rules, and fans never need to think about any of it.
Tickets live in your account, protected like any other login, and entry codes rotate constantly. Because each ticket has exactly one owner on the ledger, duplicates are impossible.
Door scanning keeps working offline and syncs when the connection returns. Purchases and resales queue briefly and settle as soon as the network is available.
Bigger bookings, fair prices for fans, and money from every resale. Tell us about your venue and we’ll run the numbers with you.
