Collectibles

Claim blockchain-based proof of attendance as digital collectibles for events you've attended.

What are Collectibles?​

Collectibles are digital tokens (NFTs) stored on the Solana blockchain that serve as:

  • Proof of Attendance - Verifiable record you attended an event
  • Digital Memorabilia - Unique collectible for each event
  • Yours Forever - Owned in your personal crypto wallet

Why Collectibles?​

For Attendees​

  • Build a Collection - Collect tokens from events you've attended
  • Verifiable Proof - Blockchain-verified attendance record
  • Potential Benefits - Future perks from organisers
  • Digital Ownership - True ownership in your wallet

Use Cases​

  • Prove you attended exclusive events
  • Qualify for alumni perks
  • Build an event attendance portfolio
  • Access token-gated communities

How It Works​

1. Organiser Creates Collection​

The event organiser sets up a collectible collection:

  • Defines the artwork/image
  • Sets total supply
  • Configures when collectibles can be claimed

2. Collectibles Are Minted​

After you register for an event:

  • A collectible is minted for your ticket
  • Minting happens automatically
  • You're notified when it's ready to claim

3. You Claim the Collectible​

When it's time to claim:

  • Provide your Solana wallet address
  • Collectible is transferred to your wallet
  • You now own the collectible

Accessing Your Collectibles​

  1. Go to Dashboard → Wallet
  2. Click the Collectibles tab
  3. View your collectibles organized by status

The Collectibles tab shows a badge with the number of claimable items.

FAQ​

Do I need a wallet to attend the event?​

No. Collectibles are optional extras. Your regular ticket works for event entry.

Is there a cost to claim?​

Claiming is free. You may need minimal SOL in your wallet for transaction fees.

What if the organiser didn't enable collectibles?​

Not all events have collectibles. It's up to the organiser to enable this feature.

Can I transfer my collectible?​

Once claimed, you own it and can transfer it like any Solana NFT.

When can I claim?​

Organisers set when collectibles become claimable - this could be immediately after registration, after the event ends, or after you check in.
