When Crypto Goes Big Leagues
summary
Claims that teams use a digital passport (wallet-as-cookie) to track non-PII fan metadata, reward users with utility tokens redeemable for tickets and merch, and move ticketing and proof-of-attendance on-chain. Example projects: a 23-artist Bulls NFT drop, six–ring challenge with one completor in Australia, 180M global fans vs ~300–400K annual arena visits, and plans to leverage 5G/edge compute to remove venue friction and bypass third-party ticket platforms.
