📱 Fans create value but don’t own it.
💳 Your points are trapped in walled gardens.
🎟️ Tickets give you access to events (when they’re not counterfeit), but they don’t provide access to a community.
That’s the problem when fandom and loyalty stays offchain. That’s what Fantech is trying to fix.
In our latest episode of the Avalanche Ecosystem Series, we explore how fandom is becoming a market and why loyalty, ticketing, and creator rewards may be the next real consumer breakthrough in crypto.
From on-chain loyalty programs with major sports teams, to ticketing systems built to stop fraud, to creators earning directly from fans this is what consumer crypto actually looks like when it works.
