Keep your events secure with Payken.
Payken records every ticket onchain the moment it’s sold, so buyers know it’s real and organizers know who’s coming.
Fraud, fakes, and fees have made tickets a trust problem
Payken’s blockchain payment solution turns every ticket into a tamper-evident digital asset that’s verifiable by anyone.
Tamper-evident tickets
Each ticket is minted on our smart contract, so duplicates and altered tickets are detectable at the door.
Verified buyers
Identity verification is built into checkout, so you know a real person bought each seat.
Conditional Settlement
Funds settle through the smart contract when terms are met. You can configure automatic refund and transfer rules. Configured rules do not override refund obligations imposed by law or by card network rules.
Traditional ticketing vs. Payken
| What matters | Traditional ticketing | Payken |
|---|---|---|
| Ticket authenticity | Barcodes can be copied and resold | NFT-backed tickets, verifiable onchain |
| Buyer identity | Bots and bulk buyers slip through | Identity verified at checkout |
| Payment settlement | Payouts held for days or weeks | Withdraw to a linked bank account or put-to-card. |
| Dispute resolution | He-said-she-said email threads | One tamper-evident record both sides can see |
| Fees | Layered service and processing fees | Payken charges 8.5% plus $75 per completed transaction. There is no monthly fee and no setup fee. |

Only if you allow it. Resale rules are written into the smart contract, so you can permit transfers, cap resale prices, or lock tickets to the verified buyer entirely. Resale restrictions are subject to the law of the jurisdiction where the event takes place.
Once the configured terms are met, you can withdraw to a linked bank account or push-to-card. Timing depends on the receiving institution.
Yes. Free events still benefit from verified registration and tamper-evident tickets, which helps keep you at capacity and reduces bot and bulk purchasing.
