BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Existing Inefficiencies or Risks:

• Lack of control over resale and royalties in ticketing and digital product marketplaces

• Centralized platforms owning user data and monetizing via advertising

• Fragmented payment systems and high transaction fees for creators and vendors

Why Traditional Systems Were Insufficient:

• Centralized social and marketplace platforms do not support transparent, programmable royalties

• Inability to enforce ownership or access rights on secondary sales

• Lack of microtransaction capabilities limits monetization options for digital content

WHY BSV?

What Made BSV Ideal:

• Ultra-low transaction fees (~0.001 USD per transaction), enabling cost-effective micropayments

• Massively scalable public blockchain with proven high throughput

• Legally compliant data structure and stable protocol suitable for enterprise-grade applications

• Native on-chain storage for tokens, QR codes, and contractual terms

Comparison to Other Blockchains:

• Unlike Ethereum and OpenSea, BSV supports actual on-chain data storage rather than just hash references

• BSV's efficiency allows legally enforceable NFTs and tokenization at negligible cost

SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE

BSV-Based System Overview:

• Minta is a white-label social marketplace and NFT engine for businesses, artists, and institutions to tokenize products, services, and experiences

• Combines a non-custodial wallet, on-chain tokenization, and marketplace functionality

Key Components:

• Tokenization: NFT minting of event tickets, products, services, and digital content using STAS protocol or alternatives like Tokenized

• Smart Contracts: Legal terms embedded into each token as enforceable agreements between wallets

• Data Logging: Full on-chain storage of metadata, ticket QR codes, and transaction terms

Partners/Vendors:

• Studio Plus (sports consultancy promoting the platform to clubs and leagues)

• Swift and Stripe for fiat payments and banking integration

IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS

Phased Rollout:

• Development and testing in Mallorca as a proof-of-concept hub

• Gradual expansion via strategic partners like Studio Plus

Integration with Legacy Systems:

• Payment integration with traditional banking and credit card systems (via Swift and Stripe)

• KYB processes to facilitate regulatory compliance for business users

Stakeholder Onboarding:

• Wallet setup with user-controlled keys (non-custodial)

• Intuitive UI for minting and managing tokenized products, services, or tickets

OUTCOMES & BUSINESS IMPACT

Quantifiable Improvements:

• Real-time royalties for artists and creators on resale

• Direct-to-bank payouts for fiat purchases, eliminating middlemen

• Full data sovereignty and control for users

Before vs After:

• Before: Artists dependent on platforms for sales and royalties, subject to high fees

• After: Artists can mint, sell, and earn residuals on every resale, fully peer-to-peer

Stakeholder Feedback:

• Enhanced audience monetization and engagement for sports clubs, creators, and brands

• Transparent, user-owned interactions without intrusive advertising

CHALLENGES & MITIGATIONS

Technical/Operational Challenges:

• Ensuring legal enforceability of on-chain contracts

• Maintaining user privacy and security while storing data on-chain

How BSV Helped:

• Enabled affordable, scalable token issuance and contract storage

• Provided a transparent and immutable ledger with privacy through wallet-level ownership

FUTURE VISION

Expansion Plans:

• Extend Minta white-label offerings to more industries (e.g., education, media, retail)

• Grow partnerships with brands, creators, and event organizers

Exploration of Additional BSV Functionalities:

• Seamless micropayments for ad-free content consumption

• Token-gated experiences and community engagement mechanisms

• Integration with other Gate2Chain products (e.g., Trace for certification)
