Web3 Use-Case: Onchain Tickets ✈
You asked for Web3 use-cases, and we listened. Let's start solid and fly into the world of airtravel onchain tickets – and no, we're not calling them NFTs.
Why Onchain Tickets are Simply Better 🌟
Rock-Solid Security: Onchain tickets are like the crown jewels of your travel plans, locked up tight in the blockchain. With them, your flight details are impenetrable – no more worries about hacks or data breaches.
True Ownership & Control: These aren't just tickets; they're your personal travel tokens. Stored securely in your crypto wallet, they give you full control. Overbooking? Not without your say-so. Cancelled flight? You'll be the first to know, and the decision's yours.
Smooth Sailing Operations: Say goodbye to paper and eticket hassles. Onchain tickets mean faster check-ins and smoother operations. It's the express lane to the skies, with you in the pilot's seat of your travel plans.
First-Class Perks: These tickets don't just get you from A to B; Picture this - curated and exclusive VIP perks only for Onchain Ticket owners. These privileges extend beyond the airport, granting you access to exclusive events, partnerships, airdrops, and experiences that elevate your travel experience to the next level (Read also POINTS/TOKENS).
Pioneers in Onchain Ticketing ✈
Flybondi: Argentina's Flybondi introduced the Ticket 3.0 program in 2023, transforming paper tickets into NFTs on the Algorand blockchain for enhanced security and verifiable ownership.
Travala: Blockchain-based travel agency Travala unveiled Travel Tiger NFTs in 2023 on the Ethereum blockchain, granting holders access to luxurious accommodations and VIP events.
Uptrip: This airline loyalty program aggregator has integrated onchain tickets, rewarding members with digital trading card games which they can use to complete specific collections and redeem rewards. All this powered by the European giants Lufthansa.
Etihad Airways: In July 2023, Etihad launched 300 limited-edition digital assets. These RWB (Real World Benefits) offer perks like Etihad Silver Tier status, Yas Marina Formula 1 access, priority check-in, 25% extra Etihad Guest Miles, lounge access, and more. They're also planning a blockchain-powered loyalty program, the “Stake-for-Miles” 😎
Challenges? 🤔
Tech Setup: Creating NFT/Onchain Ticket marketplaces demands upfront investment in blockchain technology.
Regulation Riddles: Clearer rules around NFTs in aviation would help.
Blockchain Onboarding: More travellers need to hop on the blockchain aircraft for smoother ticketing.
Sure, but the Future's Bright 🔮
Fraud Prevention: Bid farewell to ticket fraud; onchain tickets' security measures ensure fair pricing for all passengers.
Elevated Loyalty Programs: Airlines can craft innovative loyalty schemes directly tied to onchain ticket ownership, offering exclusive benefits.
Enhanced Fan Engagement: Digital collectibles like artworks and personalised travel experiences deepen connections with passengers.
New distribution channel: Access to a particular and effective marketing channel that can unlock to grow customer base and revenue.
Wrapping Up: Clear Skies Ahead ⛅
Onchain tickets are all set to revolutionise air travel with top-notch security, streamlined processes, and some seriously cool perks. And the best part?
We're looking forward to the day when swapping or selling tickets is just a walk in the park. No more headaches, no crazy fees.

Beer Taste: Camden Hells 🇬🇧
Camden Town Brewery's Star ⭐
Camden Hells stands out in London's beer scene. Forget the usual Heineken or Carlsberg; this lager is a London craft sensation.
Jasper Cuppaidge's Journey 🗺
Meet Jasper, the Founder of Camden Brewy- he turned a missed flight to Australia into a brewing legacy in London, as he decided to stay in the UK. Starting with glass collection in a pub, he later opened The Horseshoe Pub and began brewing his own lager.
From Mac's to Camden 🙄
Initially called "Mac's Beer" after his grandfather, Jasper had to rebrand due to a name clash. A quick domain check, and voila - Camden Town Brewery was born.
Hells Lager - The Flagship 🏁
A perfect fusion of Helles and Pilsner, Hells Lager debuted in 2010. It quickly became the brewery's leading brew, thanks to its authentic German ingredients.
Big Brewery Backing 💸
In 2015, Anheuser-Busch InBev snapped up the brewery for £85 million. Despite some craft beer community ripples, Camden Town Brewery has expanded, opening a new Enfield site.
Art and Ale Collide 🎨
It's not just about the beer. Camden Town Brewery values Creators, collaborating with artists like Martyna Makes to ensure each bottle and can is as visually appealing as it is delicious.
You know what? Just grab a pint of Hells and taste the legacy of London 🍻
And that's a wrap for this week 🎉
Thanks for reading.
