About the Product
Our solution is an attendance registration and verification system for in person events built directly on the Stellar network as its core infrastructure. The flow operates as follows: an organizer creates an event through the dashboard, defining parameters such as dates, claim window, per wallet limits, and role permissions. This configuration is registered via a Soroban smart contract. When an attendee validates their presence (through QR, code, link, or other methods) and connects their wallet, the system executes a transaction on the Stellar network that mints and assigns the NFT directly to the attendee’s address. The NFT remains stored in the user’s wallet as a permanent, verifiable, and immutable proof of participation.
Stellar it is the execution and verification layer of the system. Smart contracts manage event creation, permission control, minting logic, and claim restrictions entirely on-chain. Each issuance requires a real network operation, ensuring transparency and preventing duplication or manipulation. The extremely low transaction costs make large scale NFT distribution economically sustainable without relying on subsidies. Additionally, Stellar’s fast settlement enables near real time confirmations, which is critical for live event environments. We also value the strength and openness of the Stellar community, which supports long term development and ecosystem integration.
We are aware of Stellar Passport (SCF #40, $150K). While both address event participation on Stellar, they serve different roles. Passport is an onboarding and engagement funnel: it creates embedded, platform-managed wallets and writes non-transferable stamps to a single shared registry contract, optimized for gamification and short-term activation. SPOT is the credential layer: it mints full SEP-50 NFTs into the user's own self-custodial wallet, using a Factory Pattern where each event deploys its own isolated contract with independent permissions and state. SPOT credentials are portable, composable, and belong to the user — not the platform. The two products are complementary: Passport onboards new users into the ecosystem, SPOT gives them verifiable, permanent credentials they carry across it.
Problem & Solutions
Problem
Event organizers in the Web3 and tech ecosystem rely on Google Forms, spreadsheets, and manual check-ins to track attendance. These methods are easy to fake, impossible to verify after the fact, and create no lasting value for attendees. There is no self-serve tool on Stellar to turn physical attendance into a verifiable, portable, on-chain credential, even though Meridian 2025 proved the model works with a custom-built activation. Communities need this as a platform, not as a one-off engineering project.

Customer Segments
Our primary audience is within the Web3 and tech ecosystem. We target organizers of crypto meetups, hackathons, blockchain communities, startups, DAOs, innovation hubs, and tech events that already understand the value of wallets, NFTs, and on-chain verification. The typical user is a community lead, founder, builder, or event manager organizing events from 50 to 1,000 attendees who wants native Web3 tools to manage attendance and drive real engagement.
The end user is the attendee usually a developer, creator, investor, or active Web3 participant who values having verifiable proof of participation stored in their wallet.
The model is freemium: free for small communities, with paid plans for medium and large events that require scale, customization, and analytics.
