What is an NFT ticket?

“NFT Ticket” is an innovative ticket format suitable for the web3 era that utilizes NFT technology. These are difficult to tamper with and can be used as event tickets or product vouchers to control circulation and add value.

In addition, it will be easier to manage the secondary market, including determining whether secondary distribution is possible, setting sales limits, returning profits to event organizers, and cracking down on accounts that engage in illegal reselling. Through this, we aim to create a healthy market in the entertainment industry.

Chichemy will use this funding as an opportunity to further develop and operate the sales platform for NFT tickets and NFT vouchers, strengthen relationships with artists and event organizers, and expand marketing and PR activities. The company aims to bring new value to the entertainment industry by popularizing NFT tickets.
