Description

The team at NFTikets have successfully implemented a wallet-less-minting architecture aimed at driving ticket sales, this has led to another use case/ need. Other platforms have expressed the need to create valid authentication systems through minting of NFT's using the NFTiket wallet-less-minting architecture. This architecture has increased adoption for web3 on web2 applications by 61% and this will drasctically improve adoption for web2 applications.

Problem Statement

  1. Complexity of building on the blockchain for web2 startups.
  2. Cost of building on the blockchain for web2.
  3. Complexity of integrating into a web2 application
  4. Need for wallet connection and complexity operations when implementing directly from a smart contract.
  5. Buy crypto to pay gas fees

Target audience

  1. Startups looking to use NFT's as a form of validation (Certificates, Identity, Merch, Fundraisers, Badges, Tickets and Lots more).

  2. Startups building an NFT marketplace can simple plug the API and experience Wallet-less processing in minting and transfering to tickets.

Our Numbers (Operational for 5 months)

1. Events Hosted: 161
2. Users: 617
3. Countries: 3 (2 East Africa, 1 West African)
4. Currencies We Process: Fiat(Naira (NGN), Rwandan Francs (RWF)) Crypto: BTC, USDT(Trn), USDC. 
5. Partnerships: 4
6. Advisors: 2

Proposed solution

  1. Provide web2 platforms the ability to leverage on Flow's blockchain technology without spending resources on recruitment for blockchain specialists.
  2. Simple Plug and Play (PnP) API architecture that covers gas fee and allow customers on web2 platforms to pay the gas fees in their local currency.
  3. A detailed document that allows the web2 platforms to onboard our plugin as an SDK or API
  4. Low time onboarding process for web2 platforms allowing them to be fully onboarded and in operation within 48 hours.

Impact

  1. Massive adoption of flow Blockchain for web2 companies: our research has show that 37% of web2 startup desire to use the blockchain but can't afford the cost of hiring or running the development process themselves
  2. A more secure data management system on these platforms
  3. Decentralized data management systems which means items stored on one system can be accessed by the users and transfered to multiple systems on the Flow blockchain, making those asset universal.

In what ways does this benefit the broader Flow developer ecosystem?

  1. Increased use cases for the ecosystem
  2. The ecosystem becomes Universal storage system for most web2 companies.
