Phoenix Gate is a mobile app (iOS/Android) that enables event organizers and communities to verify onchain ticket and membership ownership using Unlock Protocol, with credentials stored on burner.pro hardware wallet cards across multiple chains.
Its core use case is real-world access control for conferences and side events—settings that drive meaningful networking, collaboration, and creativity across the Web3 ecosystem. Today, most of these events rely on centralized ticketing platforms and manual check-in processes. Phoenix Gate replaces this flow with a fully onchain access stack that is fast, reliable, and practical to run on-site.
Attendees receive tickets or memberships issued via Unlock Protocol and store their credentials on a portable burner wallet card. At the venue, the organizer verifies access in seconds using the Phoenix Gate app; no private key handling or complicated setup required.
While the initial pilots explore token-based pricing using AMP in collaboration with Digital Spenders Club, the broader goal is to make onchain credentials and payments part of everyday cultural and professional gatherings. Over time, Phoenix Gate aims to make decentralized verification and tokenized access a default layer of the modern event experience.
- Provide rapid, reliable, and user‑friendly onchain ticket verification for live events.
- Reduce event check‑in friction while maintaining accessibility for non‑technical attendees.
- Establish a repeatable open‑source model for decentralized access control at conferences and gatherings.
- Support flexible token pricing and settlement, with AMP and other assets integrated as examples of practical, real‑world usage.
- Strengthen collaboration across protocols and communities by demonstrating interoperability between Unlock, burner.pro, and payment networks.
Event passes and memberships are one of the most tangible, high‑frequency ways people interact with value—digital or otherwise. Yet in Web3, these interactions often remain siloed between wallets, protocols, and ticketing services.
Phoenix Gate brings those worlds together. It shows how onchain credentials and token settlements can underpin real‑world coordination, enabling crypto‑native access, verification, and payments in simple, portable flows. The project also serves as a blueprint for how different ecosystem players—wallet providers, DAOs, and payment networks—can work together to make tokenized experiences frictionless and inclusive.
Phoenix Gate is designed as a cohesive access layer that extends the capabilities of Unlock Protocol and burner.pro into real-world environments. Rather than a collection of isolated tools, the app delivers a unified experience for onchain access, verification, and event coordination. Key features include multi-chain support and flexible branding for event organizers:
Phoenix Gate supports multiple popular EVM-compatible networks, allowing organizers to issue and verify access credentials across the ecosystems they already use. This multi-chain compatibility ensures flexibility in deployment, lower transaction costs where needed, and broader interoperability across communities.
- Ethereum
- Polygon
- Optimism
- Arbitrum One
- Base
- Gnosis
The application is built to be fully customizable by event organizers and partners. This allows each organizer using Phoenix Gate to reflect the identity of the hosting brand or community.
- Custom color schemes across the app interface
- Logo and visual asset integration
- Brand-aligned check-in experience for attendees
When guests arrive, and their membership or ticket is verified via their burner card, they interact with an interface that feels native to the event, reinforcing brand identity while maintaining a seamless onchain experience.
- The organizer selects a supported chain and inputs the Unlock contract address.
- The app connects the verification flow to the chosen membership or ticket contract.
- Attendees present their burner.pro card at the venue.
- The organizer scans the card with Phoenix Gate to verify access in real time.
- The event can optionally use a customized interface that matches the organizer’s brand.
