Revenue & data, retained
Keep ticket revenue, first-party customer data, and governance over how resale works.
The Platform Blockchain-native event access
Access as a governed on-chain asset.
Every ticket on Portum is a verifiable, unique, tamper-proof digital asset — issued, owned, transferred, and verified under rules the organizer sets. Not an account entry. Not a static QR.
//01 The Solution
Control, restored to the people who create live experiences.
Unlike legacy platforms where tickets are account entries or static QR codes, Portum treats access as a governed on-chain asset. Counterfeits are eliminated through cryptographic verification. Bots and scalping rings are addressed at the protocol level — not through reactive enforcement alone.
No fakes at the gate
Real-time verified entry. Every scan checked against the chain — no duplicate, no counterfeit.
Real ownership
Hold tickets as digital assets with a transparent, auditable transfer history.
Rules set by organizers
Face-value caps, royalty splits, and transfer limits — enforced automatically.
//02 Blockchain-Native Ticketing
Every ticket an NFT. Impossible to duplicate, screenshot, or forge.
Each ticket is a non-fungible token anchored on-chain, carrying cryptographic proof of authenticity. Tickets are easily sellable, buyable, and exchangeable on Portum's controlled marketplace — with organizer-defined rules enforced by smart contracts, not manual policy.
On-chain verification
Eliminates counterfeit tickets at entry.
Unique digital ownership
Fans hold real assets, not platform-dependent entries.
Transparent transfer history
Every resale is recorded and auditable.
Embedded governance rules
Organizers set transfer and resale policy at issuance.
//03 Built for Speed & Privacy
Enterprise-grade blockchain — without compromising privacy.
Portum is built on zkSync and ZK-layered blockchains: infrastructure engineered for the throughput and finality that high-volume ticket sales demand.
Sub-second finality
Transaction speeds suitable for stadium-scale on-sales and flash drops.
Zero-knowledge proofs
Authenticity verified without exposing fan identities publicly on-chain.
Privacy-preserving auth
Fans verified at entry and on resale without unnecessary data exposure.
Interoperable APIs
Fits existing event workflows, venue systems, and organizer tools.
//04 How It Works
Portum governs the full ticket lifecycle.
Four integrated steps — from mint to gate — each enforcing the organizer's rules automatically.
Mint with rules
Organizers mint NFT tickets with embedded governance: transfer limits, resale caps, royalty splits, validity windows.
Provable ownership
Attendees receive verifiable digital assets in their wallet. Ownership is cryptographically provable — not tied to a platform account.
Controlled resale
Resale happens on Portum's marketplace. Organizer rules are enforced automatically; revenue flows by configured royalty splits.
Sub-second entry
At the gate, tickets validate against the chain in real time. Counterfeit and duplicate tickets are rejected instantly.
//05 One System, Three Surfaces
Command what happens. Hand people the experience. Control the gate.
The organizer's command center
Nine integrated modules in one command layer. Seats.io native. Draft → Approved → Live — nothing ships until it's signed off.
A ticket that can't be faked
NFT tickets, a custodial wallet fans can't lose, and a QR that rotates every few seconds — so a screenshot is worthless.
Sub-second decisions at the gate
A <1s gate decision — online or fully offline. Every scan verified against the chain, every decision logged.
