Introducing

Cardano Enterprise Adoption

A real Web2 business migrating 100% of its ticketing to Cardano. Already building. Already live. Powered by Anvil.

Ticketing is broken. Everyone knows it.

An $85B industry controlled by intermediaries. Scalpers, fraud, no real ownership, opaque data. The system is designed around the people who profit — not the fans, artists, or venues.

Scalpers extract massive profits — fans pay the price
Fake tickets, fake QR codes, fake resale sites — fraud is rampant
Fans can’t verify, transfer, or truly own their tickets
Organizers can’t see who showed up — transfers are invisible

This isn’t a startup. It’s an operating company.

Sellout has been selling tickets since 2017. Real venues. Real artists. Real revenue. 200,000+ users who bought real tickets before blockchain was involved.

100% of Sellout’s ticketing is moving to Cardano.

Not an experiment. Not a side project. A full infrastructure migration. Every ticket, every event, every check-in — all on Cardano. Sellout is not reliant on the success of Cardano to succeed. The business model works in Web2. Blockchain makes it better.

Phase 1 is live. Paid for by Sellout.

The core on-chain ticketing infrastructure is already built and deployed. Sellout funded Phase 1 entirely — no treasury funds, no grants.

On-chain event creation with master manifest NFTs
CIP-68 ticket NFTs minted for each sale
Ticket transfer flows with metadata updates
Attendance verification with batched CIP-68 updates

Phase 2: The marketplace that changes everything.

This proposal funds the secondary marketplace, royalty enforcement, anti-scalping controls, and wallet onboarding for 200,000+ users.

Cardano-native secondary marketplace for ticket resale
Automatic royalty enforcement for artists and venues
Anti-scalping controls and fair resale rules
Wallet creation for 200K+ existing Sellout users

50,000+ tickets. 100,000+ transactions. $6M+ revenue.

Sustained, recurring on-chain activity from a real business. Not a one-time marketing event — a compounding flywheel that grows with every show.
