The problem TicketWave solves

Ticketwave is a groundbreaking ticket-selling platform harnessing the power of blockchain and cryptocurrency technology to address the persistent challenges in the ticket-selling industry. The Buy Now Pay Later feature allows buyers to access event tickets immediately while splitting the cost into manageable installments. This feature is not only convenient but also financially empowering, ensuring that individuals can secure their tickets directly from the official source without the having the concern of falling for scams. Another advantage of Ticketwave is its choice of blockchain technology. By operating on the Aleo blockchain, faster transactions and reduced fees due to less competition for block space. In an industry where timing can make or break the purchase, this efficiency is a game-changer. Leveraging zero-knowledge proofs, Ticketwave ensures that transactions and sensitive user data remain entirely private. Unlike traditional ticketing systems that may expose personal information on a public ledger, Ticketwave prioritises buyers confidentiality. It enables buyers to engage in ticket transactions without compromising their privacy. When purchasing a ticket, buyers can rest assured that their funds are safeguarded through the application of smart contract. Only when they've successfully scanned their ticket does the smart contract release the full payment to the seller. This innovative approach minimizes the risk of counterfeit tickets and ensures both parties fulfill their obligations as per the agreement.

Challenges we ran into

Building a ticketing system is a complex endeavor that involves addressing various technical, operational, and user-related challenges. While ALEO may offer valuable features and benefits, however interpreting the whole concept into coding is the main challenges that we faced so far. Honestly speaking, this is the first time for our team to the topic of block chain and crypto or we could say this is the first time that we participate in a hackathon competition. So, during the whole process, we are all new to the language that we are offered and tried our really best to overcome in and learn it. Besides, the server of ALEO is still under developing, so it is also quite hard for us to figure out the connection of the server whereby we keep encountering errors during our coding.so, the question is, how do we solved all this. By attending the workshop and also communicate with the mentors, we manage to get to know more about this language and tried to input all the knowledge that we have learnt. in the meantime, we also do a lot of research based on chatgpt and other open resourses in order to implement others features into our program
