On-chain venue ticketing governed by token holders. No scalpers. No middlemen. Just Solana.
The Problem
Ticketmaster takes 30%. Bots snap up inventory in milliseconds. Artists get cut out. Fans pay 5x face value. The status quo is broken at every layer.
How It Works
From wallet to wristband — the entire ticketing lifecycle lives on Solana with SPL-Governance enforcing every rule.
Fan wallets claim NFT tickets via SPL token mint. Each ticket is a unique on-chain asset with seat metadata, event ID, and resale parameters baked in at mint time. No bots — one wallet, one ticket, verified.
SPL-TOKEN · METAPLEXToken holders submit and vote on proposals: ticket prices, performer lineups, anti-scalp caps, refund policies. SPL-Governance + Realms executes winning proposals automatically. Artists and fans share governance weight.
SPL-GOVERNANCE · REALMSGate scanners verify NFT ownership on-chain in real-time. No printouts, no apps, no third-party databases. Wallet signature = entry. Resale transfers settle automatically within the governance-approved price range.
ON-CHAIN VERIFY · AUTO-SETTLEGovernance
Token holders vote on ticket prices, performer selection, anti-scalp parameters, and venue policies. SPL-Governance enforces outcomes without any platform intermediary.
The NFT Ticket
Every ticket is an NFT on Solana. Seat metadata, resale rules, and attendance proof — all immutable and publicly verifiable.
Anti-Scalp Mechanisms
Every anti-scalp rule is enforced at the protocol level. There is no platform to lobby, no support ticket to file. The contract simply won't allow it.
SPL-Governance sets a hard resale cap voted on by token holders — e.g. 115% of face value. Any transfer instruction above that ceiling is rejected by the program. Baked into the NFT at mint.
ON-CHAIN ENFORCEDBuyers must meet a minimum wallet-age threshold (e.g. 30 days) voted by the DAO. Newly created bot wallets cannot purchase. This single rule blocks 90%+ of automated scalping operations.
SYBIL RESISTANTThe program enforces a per-wallet ticket limit per event. Mass-purchasing with multiple wallets is detectable on-chain. The DAO can vote to add stake requirements that make bot farms economically unviable.
PROGRAM ENFORCEDEvery secondary sale triggers an automatic creator royalty transfer (voted by DAO, typically 5%). Scalping becomes less profitable. Artists recapture value from the secondary market they historically could never touch.
AUTO-ROYALTYGate entry requires a wallet signature at the door — not just ticket ownership. Even if a ticket is transferred beyond the resale cap via off-chain deal, the original buyer's wallet ID is flagged for future governance action.
SIGNATURE VERIFYIf market conditions change, the DAO can vote to adjust any parameter in real-time. No waiting for a platform to update its ToS. The community is the platform. Proposals execute on-chain within the voting period.
