TKTZ

A recent app I created that involves the lesser known cryptocurrency XRP.

TKTZ uses NFTs on XRPL to empower event organizers to sell tickets to their events. This Web3 solution eliminates traditional "convenience fees" that often plague event goers.

TKTZ is a proof of concept that shows how event organizers can sell tickets using the Seller app, while event goers can purchase these tickets using the Buyer app.
