OPEN is proposing a blockchain-based ticketing system for the 2025 US Presidential Inauguration, citing current issues with Congress-controlled distribution.​

Key benefits of the proposed system:

  • Immutable tickets preventing counterfeiting
  • Transparent transaction records
  • Smart contracts eliminating fraud
  • Commemorative NFTs for attendees
  • Real-time attendance verification

This initiative follows criticism of traditional ticketing monopolies that generated record profits in 2023 at the expense of consumers.​

Context: OPEN has previously deployed blockchain ticketing for 20,000+ events with 6+ million tickets issued.​
