Ticketing & Events on PYRAX

Live-event ticketing is plagued by scalping, fraud, and opaque fees that alienate fans and starve artists and venues of resale value. On-chain tickets with enforced resale royalties and price caps solve this at the protocol level. PYRAX pairs multi-VM NFT tickets with programmable resale rules and instant finality to make anti-scalping ticketing practical at stadium scale.

What's broken today

Scalping and bots corner inventory, then resell at brutal markups that fans pay and artists never see.

Counterfeit and duplicated tickets cause turned-away fans and chargeback losses at the gate.

Resale value flows entirely to scalpers and platforms; artists and venues capture none of the secondary market.

Ticketing fees are opaque and stacked, with service charges sometimes exceeding face value.

How PYRAX transforms it

Concrete network elements mapped to this business.

Multi-VM NFT tickets (EVM/WASM/Cairo)

Each ticket is a unique, verifiable asset that cannot be counterfeited or duplicated, eliminating gate fraud and chargebacks.

Programmable resale royalties & price caps

On-chain rules cap resale prices and route a royalty to the artist and venue on every resale, gutting scalper margins while keeping value with creators.

Instant BLS finality

Transfers and entry validation finalize instantly at the gate, so scanning and reselling happen in real time without a pending state.

GhostDAG throughput

Handles a stadium's worth of simultaneous drops and gate scans without congestion or spiking fees during an on-sale rush.
