Please describe your proposed solution.
<https://youtu.be/qkaK6tq9KEk>We’re going to continue building onto our existing mobile verification app to create an all-encompassing event management solution. The goal of this is to make the process of adoption/implementation of web3 technology, specifically NFTs on Cardano, as easy as possible for projects, event organizers, businesses, etc.
This will come in the form of an event management dashboard available on the currently released NFTPass app on iOS and Android. Services we will be providing to businesses are: a minting service with updatable NFTs, a suite of tools designed to empower events track more metrics, and gamify events via live competitions, raffles, giveaways, etc.
We are currently looking to develop more features for our Mobile app in order to provide projects and events even more tools to enrich the experience they are able to offer to community members/attendees. The current app is released on IOS/Android and was tested very successfully at multiple Cardano events (NFTxLV, Cardano Summit, Claymates meet-ups). These tests successfully demonstrated our automated and action-based minting system having minted 150+ Proof of Attendance NFTs (POA) directly to community members wallets. More importantly they highlighted the viability of the product and the need for a more powerful solution.
The solution we are proposing will facilitate easy onboarding of events and businesses to Cardano by using our NFT ticketing solution. It will do so by focusing on 3 different feature categories in this current suite which will allow them to easily design their own bespoke event experiences and easily add or remove features as necessary. These categories are:
<u>1 - Automatic Token Updates:</u>
Our solution brings a robust set of features to streamline event management and enhance security through automatic token updates. Attendees checking in trigger real-time updates to token data, ensuring accurate records of attendance with timestamps. To combat ticket duplication and fraud, our system employs automatic metadata updates, creating a tamper-resistant environment.
Moreover, our dynamic access permissions empower event organizers to adapt quickly. Actions taken by users during events, coupled with preconfigured rules in the dashboard, seamlessly govern access privileges. This is all accomplished on-chain, utilizing modular smart contract collections. These contracts, easily deployable as needed, provide tailored functionality for each event, ensuring a flexible and secure framework for comprehensive event management.
<u>2 - Data Tracking:</u>
Our comprehensive data tracking system ensures actionable insights for event organizers through two key features:
Token Metrics:
- Monitor ticket sales, unique wallet ownership, and event check-ins in real-time.
- Display these metrics in a user-friendly, exportable format tailored to each project's specific needs.
- Empower projects with precise data, allowing them to make informed decisions and optimize their strategies.
Heat maps:
- Leverage anonymous user data to generate interactive heat maps of event spaces.
- Illuminate attendee movement, helping organizers identify popular booths and interaction hotspots.
- Provide real-time feedback on attendee preferences, enabling on-the-fly adjustments for a more engaging and successful event.
- Extract valuable insights to enhance future events by understanding attendee behaviors and preferences, ultimately contributing to continuous improvement and success.
<u>3 - Engagement Features:</u>
Transform your event into an interactive and immersive experience with our dynamic Engagement Features. From automatic rewards distribution to thrilling treasure hunts, engaging raffles, and interactive voting/polling, our comprehensive suite of features guarantees a seamless and unforgettable event journey for all participants.
Automatic Rewards Distribution
Effortlessly dispense rewards in the form of merchandise, beverage vouchers, NFTs, and beyond by seamlessly integrating tailored functionalities into token metadata. This integration, coupled with our modular smart contracts, creates an unparalleled and immutable rewards system tailored to the specific requirements of your events. The automated and hands-off nature of this system ensures optimal efficiency for your events team.
Treasure Hunts
With NFTPass, the benefits of using our service don’t stop at the door! Elevate attendee engagement through gamification, transforming the discovery experience into thrilling treasure hunts and check-in-based incentives. Foster a dynamic environment that motivates attendees to explore every facet of the event, strategically guiding them to specific areas. This not only enhances their event experience but also ensures they extract maximum value from the diverse offerings available.
Raffles
Drive excitement and community participation at your event by effortlessly conducting raffles among attendees. Deploy one-click raffles for exclusive access to coveted merchandise, enticing prizes, and more. This streamlined approach not only engages community members seamlessly but also fosters active participation, enhancing the overall vibrancy and enthusiasm surrounding your event.
Voting/Polling
Empower your attendees with interactive features such as polls facilitate gathering valuable feedback, allowing them to actively evaluate and judge events. Beyond mere attendance, this functionality opens the door to diverse use cases, including running competitions and gauging attendee experiences. By integrating seamless polling mechanisms, projects can efficiently gather insights, making it easy for attendees to actively participate and contribute to the event, thereby enriching the overall engagement and shaping future events based on community preferences.
<u>Proof of Concept & Testing History:</u>
We have been testing the initial deployment of these features at 3 recent Cardano events where we have verified 150+ wallets and minted/distributed as many NFTs automatically, we have verified ownership of hundreds of NFT assets and launched a mobile app that makes the verification process 100% on chain.
During these tests and conversations with events teams we discovered the need for a solution like this to enable events teams to manage and deploy different features that they can run during events, this was the basis for submitting this proposal.
One of the biggest hurdles for events to manage NFT tickets is the lack of available tools and features that make it better than the currently available solutions off-chain.
Our dashboard and management suite will help bridge this gap and make it more appealing and easier to create rich experiences for event attendees using NFTPass and NFT tickets in general.
Our mobile app for token verification is available on both iOS and Android and this proposal will extend the current service into a complete solution for events to easily integrate NFT tickets and access passes.
Going forward we have some in-person events coming up next year that have already agreed to use our solution as part of the events including the Upstream London meetups and we are in talks with some music events in the US.

<u>End Note</u>
Our cutting-edge event management platform empowers events and businesses to effortlessly deploy feature-rich ticketing solutions that resonate with attendees. The intuitive dashboard streamlines event management, making tasks such as gamification and community rewards a breeze.
This proposal marks a significant leap in NFT ticketing, transcending web3 adaptations of current solutions to deliver a rich, unparalleled experience that extends far beyond current offerings. The entire process is conducted on-chain, offering a clean and simple dashboard for events teams to efficiently manage every aspect.
To showcase the full potential of our tools and facilitate seamless onboarding, we will develop example tests for different mechanisms. This strategic approach ensures businesses and events can smoothly integrate our platform into their processes.
Pairing our solution with the verification app and NFT wallet solution equips events and businesses with the essential tools to easily deploy tailored solutions, marking a groundbreaking shift in the landscape. This will transform web3 NFT ticketing from a promising idea into a <u>no-brainer. </u>
