Should the following Tier 6: up to $240,000 USD, 6 months vesting (1 month cliff) grant in the Platform Contributor category be approved?
Abstract
Our mission is to build a DApp for event management & NFT ticketing which suits Decentraland’s needs, we call it Fanszoid. And, also a custom SDK to facilitate the event creation in the Decentraland builder. Everything is detailed below. We’ve been developing a lot for the last 8 months and this week finally launched our first version of the product. With this grant we will be able to support our actual team and bring more Web3 developers with our same vision of pushing Decentraland forward.
Also, we will have our first beta launch event next week, March 12 - 8PM UTC, if you are reading this you must attend =).

Description
Our objective with Fanszoid is to address one of the biggest opportunities regarding metaverse events: monetization. Nowadays there is no organized structure for the monetization of an event hosted in the metaverse. In order to do so we will take advantage of blockchain technology to make NFT ticketing possible in Decentraland and build an SDK to facilitate its implementation. This will bring more use cases to LAND parcels and therefore increase their value.
Managing tickets as NFTs provides many advantages:
- Fraud free ticket resale & ticket trading
- Tickets sync with blockchain address
- Royalties to organizers on each resale
- The possibility of trading an event ticket post event because of the attached value
- Tickets will be seen as collectibles
- Native Integrations with Decentraland
Offering a ticketing solution will appeal to promoters and artist managers where they can easily derive revenue from sales where currently this is the unknown within virtual world experiences [being mostly free].
Bear in mind that we have a lot of people that want to do things on the metaverse, but they just don’t know how. Now, there’s a tool to help them do it. Therefore bringing new people to the ecosystem.
Our primary objective is to bring a lot of value to Decentraland and the Decentraland community, such as:
- Make available a NFT ticket marketplace
- Generate a new revenue stream for all event organizers
- Increase amount of events hosted
- Grow daily active users
- Expand awareness in the metaverse community
- Create more use cases for LAND owners
- Build interest in brands sponsoring future metaverse events
- Improve user experience for event attendees
- Increase wearable sales
- Surge wearable and build creations
- Provide our building on the metaverse as a people to meet & network
- Help make Decentraland mainstream
Specification
In order for this to be possible we are building a decentralized application where users will be able to create and promote events, browse, buy and resell tickets, and manage sales and statistics in a dashboard.
We also have created the Events SDK that allows event organizers to give access to the event to users who have purchased tickets.
Link to the Github repo: https://github.com/Fanszoid
Using our Events SDK, event organizers will also be able to:
- Divide their LAND into sections: General, VIP, Ultra VIP, and so on.
- Dress users in each section with different wearables which will only be available during the event
- Attach a wearable to a ticket that the user will be able to use in all Decentraland, creating a post event ticket valuation.
- Add POAP’s to every event in one click with our seamless integration
Now in-person event tickets could be attached to a Decentraland wearable.
In addition, we are communicating with the Festival District team, who worked with Decentraland on The Metaverse Festival, to see how Fanszoid could meet the future needs of promoters who need a ticketing solution.
As a final detail, we’ve launched our MVP, feel free to try it out.

Roadmap and milestones
Fanszoid’s team will report progress to the Decentraland community on a weekly basis and will monitor the project’s forum closely for questions or to provide updates as needed.
The proposed project will be completed within 3 Stages (approx. 2 months each) based on the following milestones and timeline:
Just to clarify, DApp and Events SDK improvements are done at every stage.
Stage 1: Foundation. Make possible the first event ever in Decentraland establishing the connection between users and hosts through our platform. Build partnerships with event organizers in Decentraland. Prepare strategy to expand and create all necessary teams. Design a digital presence in DCL (similar to Samsung).
Stage 2. Develop. Onboard new team members. Keep working on the DApp and Events SDK. Set metrics to track growth. Build the digital presence previously designed. Prepare communication strategy. Host monthly digital & IRL events. Build Fanszoid’s limited edition wearables for the Decentraland community. Host Interviews & Live Streams.
Stage 3. Launch. Finish the DApp and Events SDK with all the proposed functionalities. Provide 24/7 support, from organizers who use the SDK to users who bought tickets. Host many more Interviews & Live Streams. Make sure the community is rock solid and growing.
