Industries / Events & venues
Cashless and access that clear at peak.
Festivals, stadiums, and arenas run on a few high-stakes hours. We build the wristbands, terminals, and settlement that keep taking payments when the crowd — and the network — are at their worst.
80,000 people. Six hours. One network that will drop at the worst possible moment.
The events problemThe constraint
The network will drop mid-rush.
A venue loses connectivity at exactly the wrong moment, and the queue doesn't care. We build terminals that take payment offline, reconcile the instant the link returns, and never double-charge or lose a tap — so a dead cell tower is an inconvenience, not a shutdown.

Questions
What operators ask us.
Terminals keep taking payment offline against the on-device balance, queue every transaction, and reconcile automatically the moment connectivity returns. No double charges, no lost taps.
Under 200ms tap-to-confirm at the terminal. Settlement happens in the background, so the queue keeps moving even at peak.
Yes — unspent balance and disputed transactions are handled through a post-event settlement flow that reconciles against the same ledger the terminals wrote to.
We can. We build the wristbands, terminals, and validators ourselves, or integrate with kit you already run — the software is the same either way.
