What It Does

EventPass lets anyone create events and deploy NFT-based attendance passes on Solana. Attendees claim passes via QR codes or links, and NFT ownership instantly unlocks token-gated event dashboards with live interactions.

Key Features:

• Create unlimited events with unique NFT collections
• Instant NFT minting via Compressed NFTs (ultra-low cost)
• Token-gated dashboards with live polls, announcements, and attendee lists
• Automatic claim management based on time and capacity
• User profiles showing attended and created events
• QR code generation for easy venue check-ins

Why Solana

Speed: 3-second transaction finality enables instant claim-to-dashboard flow with no waiting.

Cost: Compressed NFTs reduce minting costs by 1000x. Organizers can mint 100+ passes for under $1 total.

Scalability: Platform handles hundreds of simultaneous events and thousands of claims without cost explosion.

This literally cannot work on other chains. Ethereum gas fees would make attendance passes economically impossible.

How It Works

For Organizers:

1. Connect wallet and create event (name, date, capacity, image)
2. Deploy NFT collection on Solana (one-time ~0.01 SOL fee)
3. Share generated claim link or QR code
4. Monitor real-time claims and manage dashboard content

For Attendees:

1. Scan QR code or click claim link
2. Connect Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack)
3. Mint NFT pass in ~3 seconds
4. Instantly access token-gated event dashboard
5. Participate in polls, view announcements, see other attendees

Token-Gating: Each event has its own NFT collection. Dashboard access checks if connected wallet owns an NFT from that specific collection. No NFT = no access.

Architecture

Multi-Event Structure:

• Each event deploys a separate Compressed NFT collection
• Collection address stored in Supabase, linked to event ID
• Token-gating queries Solana for NFT ownership per collection
• Events are completely isolated (Event A NFT ≠ Event B access)

Event Lifecycle:

• Claims auto-close at event time (can be manually overridden)
• Capacity enforced (no mints beyond max attendees)
• Events can be edited or archived by organizers
