The problem EtherTix solves

Our NFT-based ticketing and event verification system is designed to address several critical challenges within the event industry:

• Counterfeit Ticket Elimination: By issuing NFTs on a blockchain, our system provides tamper-proof, unique digital tickets that are virtually impossible to counterfeit. This eliminates the risk of counterfeit tickets, ensuring that every ticket is genuine.

• Transparency and Trust: Blockchain technology ensures transparency in ticket ownership and transfer history, making it easy for attendees to verify the authenticity of their tickets. This builds trust in event authenticity and ticket validity.

• Ownership and Control: Event-goers gain complete ownership and control over their digital tickets. They can trade, gift, or collect tickets as they see fit, simplifying ticket management and providing freedom and flexibility.

• Memorable Experiences: NFT tickets enable attendees to establish enduring connections with events. These digital tickets can be collected and cherished as mementos, creating lasting memories.

• Global Accessibility: Geographical barriers are removed, allowing people from all over the world to attend events without constraints. This expands event accessibility and opportunities.

In summary, our NFT-based ticketing and event verification system enhances security, transparency, and convenience within the event industry. It eliminates counterfeit tickets, builds trust, empowers attendees, streamlines access, and offers memorable event experiences. This technology addresses the core issues that have long plagued event ticketing, making it a valuable solution for both event organizers and attendees.

Challenges we ran into

Due to the nature of our project topic, there are several problems encountered mainly revolved around testing and debugging. We conducted thorough code reviews, engaged in security audits, and followed best practices outlined in Ethereum's development guidelines. This included using standardized smart contract libraries and practices to minimize security risks.

1. Difficulty in Testing Smart Contract NFT
2. Time consuming for Solidity Debugging
3. Difficulty in Testing of Ether.js
4. Metamask Integration and Connection

Overcome

1. Assistance from Github Public respositories
2. Assistance from Online Sources
3. Closely followed MetaMask's documentation, which provided guidelines for integrating the latest version. We ensured that the app requested the necessary permissions and handled user interactions correctly.
