The Regulatory Breakthrough 🔐

Smart Tickets That Enforce the Rules

Traditional platforms face an impossible choice: restrict resale entirely (pushing it underground) or risk non-compliant trading. We're introducing a third option: a fully regulated resale offering powered by Smart Tickets. Think of them as your traditional tickets, but with superpowers ✨. They're adaptive, intelligent tickets that automatically enforce local resale regulations while keeping the market accessible and transparent. With Tixbase, you can easily deploy Smart Tickets to power your own integrated resale marketplace – giving your customers a single destination for both primary sales and regulated resale.

Price Controls on Autopilot

When laws say "no profit on resale," Smart Tickets make it physically impossible to break the rules. Our Smart Tickets come with built-in price controls that make it easy to configure rules and execute them AUTOMATICALLY.

Beyond the Blockchain Hype

Yes, blockchain offers traceability. But regulators need MORE than just a record of transactions. Our platform provides complete visibility into every ticket's journey – from its origin to its rightful owner. Because knowing WHERE it's been means nothing without knowing WHO (not what 🤖) owns it.

<h2>The Identity Revolution</h2>

<div class="green_card"><div class="rows"><div class="row"><div class="row_info"><h3>The Identity Revolution</h3><p>While others focus on just the ticket, we've built what regulators and consumer protection agencies have been demanding: an identity layer that verifies WHO is buying and selling, not just WHAT they're trading.</p></div><div class="row_img"><img src='https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/66cda5fcd0392dcf26f2e8ec/6764017acd1469395b346ffc_Layer_3.svg'/></div></div></div>

Make Compliance Your Competitive Advantage 🛡️

The Power of Programmed Compliance

Every Smart Ticket comes with regulatory controls coded directly into its DNA. Why choose between profits and protection? Our platform turns regulatory requirements into revenue opportunities. Partner with us to build your own compliant resale marketplace, complete with automated controls that regulators can trust and consumers will love.
