Capt.today - Cultural NFT Event Ticketing Platform

🎯 Project Overview

Capt.today is an NFT-based event ticketing platform built on Flow blockchain that transforms cultural event attendance into collectible digital moments. By combining blockchain technology with Indonesian cultural heritage, we've created a unique gacha-style experience where attendees receive random cultural NFT designs upon checking in to events.

💡 Problem Statement

Cultural events create meaningful experiences, but these moments are ephemeral:

• Physical tickets get lost or discarded after events

• No verifiable proof of attendance at cultural moments

• Event organizers lose connection with attendees post-event

• Cultural heritage experiences aren't preserved digitally for future generations

🚀 Our Solution

Capt.today leverages Flow blockchain to create permanent, collectible records of cultural event attendance with the following features:

For Attendees:

1. Discover Events - Browse cultural events, festivals, and heritage sites

2. NFT Tickets - Register for events and receive blockchain-based tickets

3. Location-Verified Check-in - Use geo-fencing to verify physical attendance

4. Gacha-Style NFT Minting - Receive random cultural NFT designs with exciting reveal animation

5. Digital Collection - Build a permanent portfolio of cultural experiences

For Event Organizers:

1. Easy Event Creation - Set up events with location parameters and capacity limits

2. Real-time Analytics - Track registrations and check-ins in real-time

3. Attendee Engagement - Reward attendance with collectible NFTs

4. Cultural Customization - Choose from authentic Indonesian cultural elements

🎨 Unique Features

Indonesian Cultural Elements

Every NFT features authentic Indonesian heritage:

• Batik Patterns - Traditional textile art borders

• Wayang Icons - Shadow puppet cultural symbols

• Gamelan Audio - Traditional music integration

• Javanese Script - Unicode support for cultural text

• 5 unique card designs: Balinese Woman, Candi Borobudur, Javanese Woman, Wayang, Gamelan

• Exciting box-opening animation with 3D effects

• Rarity tiers: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary

• Collectibility drives engagement and retention

Location-Based Verification

• Geo-fencing ensures real attendance (not just registration)

• Configurable check-in radius per event
