Our Blockchain Technology
Discover how BlockTix leverages Solana's high-performance blockchain to revolutionize the ticketing industry.
Why Blockchain for Ticketing?
Traditional ticketing systems are plagued with issues like fraud, scalping, and lack of transparency. Blockchain technology solves these problems by creating immutable, verifiable tickets that can't be counterfeited.
Immutable Verification
Each ticket is a unique token on the blockchain that can't be duplicated or forged.
Smart Contract Royalties
Automatically distribute royalties to artists and organizers for secondary market sales.
Transparent Transactions
All ticket transfers and sales are recorded on the public ledger for complete transparency.
Programmable Tickets
Add custom rules and features to tickets, like expiration dates or transfer restrictions.
Powered by Solana
Ultra-fast transactions, low fees, and environmentally friendly blockchain technology
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)
Provide digital ownership of assets. Created through the blockchain, they are similar to a cryptocurrency.
For collectors, an NFT is a digital representation of collectibles that entail uniqueness or digital scarcity.
A football trading card is a great example to consider. The owner of the NFT would not possess the physical card. Their token represents their ownership (or partial ownership) of the item and entitles them to sell and profit from this card.
Why We Chose Solana
Solana's high-performance blockchain provides the perfect foundation for our ticketing platform.

How Our Technology Works
A deep dive into the technical architecture of BlockTix.
NFT-Based Tickets
Each ticket is minted as a unique NFT on the Solana blockchain, containing all event details, seat information, and ownership history.
- Unique digital collectibles with event memorabilia
- Verifiable authenticity and ownership
- Customizable metadata for special perks and access
- Permanent record of attendance for future benefits
Tamperproof Ticket Delivery
BlockTix ensures NFT tickets are tamperproof and the business logic of the NFT cannot be circumvented on the UX level, through the use of three technologies.
Dynamic QR Codes
The core technology for ensuring that tickets cannot be faked or duplicated. With a constantly changing QR code there is no possibility to screenshot tickets or use the same ticket multiple times.
- Time-based code rotation prevents screenshots
- Encrypted verification prevents forgery
Blockchain Verification
Every ticket is verified against the blockchain record to ensure authenticity. This creates an immutable record of ownership that cannot be tampered with.
- Immutable ownership records
- Cryptographic proof of authenticity
Multi-Factor Authentication
Additional security layers ensure that only the rightful ticket owner can use the ticket for event entry.
- Identity verification options
- Device-linked authentication
Facial Recognition
Another option to safeguard tickets is the use of facial recognition to ensure that the individual who purchased the ticket is the same one who is using it to enter an event. This is supported by the upload of a biometric picture of the ticket owner which is not stored and always ensures privacy of the ticket holder.
- Privacy-preserving biometric verification
- No permanent storage of facial data
- Optional feature for high-security events
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
Bluetooth (BLE) is another technology that adds to the protection from ticket fraud. In addition, this can speed up ticket validation for entry by using Bluetooth validation vs manual scanning.
- Faster entry with proximity-based validation
- Reduced wait times at venue entrances
- Additional layer of security verification
Blockchain Approach
Our approach to blockchain integration focuses on user experience while leveraging the power of Web3 technology.
Familiar web2 experience - Addressing mainstream users
Web3 functionality is revealed to the users only when necessary
For example, to withdraw an NFT to their crypto wallet (e.g Metamask), to take advantage of the interoperability with other NFT marketplaces, metaverses or social media (e.g. Discord, Twitter, Instagram)
Social and email login
BlockTix custody by default - crypto wallet login (self-custody) optional.
NFT transactions take place in fiat currencies
(Euro, GBP, AED etc) via card payments. No need for users to hold crypto.
No gas fees
For issuing (lazy minting), redeeming and exchanging NFTs within the app's marketplace. Gas fees are applicable only when withdrawing an NFT to self-custody on a public blockchain.
Security & Privacy
We prioritize the security of your tickets and personal information with industry-leading protection measures.
End-to-End Encryption
All sensitive data is encrypted using advanced cryptographic techniques.
Regular Security Audits
Our smart contracts undergo rigorous third-party security audits.
Non-Custodial Design
We never hold your private keys or have access to your funds.
Blockchain Interoperability
Our technology is designed to work across multiple blockchain ecosystems, ensuring maximum flexibility and future-proofing.
Cross-Chain Compatibility
While primarily built on Solana, our platform is designed with cross-chain compatibility in mind, allowing for future expansion to other blockchain networks.
Multi-Chain Support
Future-ready architecture that can integrate with Ethereum, Polygon, and other major blockchains
Bridge Technology
Secure cross-chain bridges for transferring tickets between different blockchain networks
Universal Verification
Tickets can be verified across multiple platforms regardless of the underlying blockchain
