🎟️ Celo TicketX – Borderless NFT Ticketing on Stablecoins

Celo TicketX is a decentralized event ticketing platform that enables global event creators to sell tickets as NFTs, while accepting payments in any stablecoin — powered by on-chain FX via Mento.

→ A borderless payment flow where no matter the sender’s currency, the receiver always gets cUSD.

• 🎟️ Ticket access is fully on-chain via NFTs, making it transparent, verifiable, and tradable if needed.
• ⚡ The receiver always gets paid in cUSD, which works perfectly with Celo MiniPay (also used to pay gas).
• 🌍 The end-user can pay with a list of supported stablecoins from different countries (e.g., cEUR, cKES, cREAL, USDT), and Mento handles the swap on-chain.
• This eliminates currency friction, empowers local sellers, and gives global users easy access — no middlemen, no borders, just smart contracts.

<!-- Bonus: Celo + Mento = super gas-efficient and perfect for mobile-native experiences like MiniPay -->

🚀 Mission Summary

We believe access to events should be as borderless as the internet itself.

Celo TicketX empowers global creators and local audiences with:

🛠️ Tools to host Web3-native events

💸 Multi-stablecoin support for true financial inclusion

🧾 NFT-powered ownership of experiences

💚 Built on Celo — optimized for speed, low gas, and mobile-first adoption

🗺️ Our mission: Make decentralized ticketing the standard for global, inclusive events — powered by programmable money and NFTs.

In today's globalized world, organizing events that accept cross-border payments is still a fragmented, expensive, and non-transparent experience:

💡 Problem

• Platforms like Klook act as intermediaries in ticketing, charging service fees and settling payments in the local host's currency.
• What if we solve this using Mento’s on-chain FX solution?

<!-- Bonus: Celo + Mento = super gas-efficient and perfect for mobile-native experiences like MiniPay -->

🌍 Event organizers want to reach global audiences, but:

Can’t accept payments in multiple stablecoins

Face issues with currency conversion and settlement delays

🎟️ Ticket buyers in emerging markets:

Hold local stablecoins like cGHS, cJPY, cEUR

Often don’t have access to credit cards or fiat payment rails

❌ Traditional ticketing systems:

• Don't offer on-chain proof of ownership
• Have centralized risks (refunds, fraud, resale lock-ins)
• Lack transparency and flexibility for creators

Celo TicketX provides a frictionless, cross-border event ticketing platform that solves all of the above by leveraging Web3-native tools:

• 🎫 Create events with IPFS-hosted metadata and pricing in CUSD

• 💱 Let users pay in any supported stablecoin (cEUR, cGHS, cJPY, etc.)

• 🔁 Use Mento's on-chain FX oracle to auto-convert to CUSD for creators

• 🪪 Mint NFT tickets on purchase — these act as verifiable proof, access passes, and even collectibles

• 📲 Integrate directly with MiniPay wallets for seamless mobile UX

• 📦 Everything is on-chain, transparent, and open to composability
