Company Name: Gate2Chain
Industry: Creator economy, digital commerce, ticketing, social marketplaces
Geographic Reach: Global, with development based in Mallorca and headquarters in London
BSV Integration Start Date: Circa 2021–2022
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Existing Inefficiencies or Risks:
Lack of control over resale and royalties in ticketing and digital product marketplaces
Centralized platforms owning user data and monetizing via advertising
Fragmented payment systems and high transaction fees for creators and vendors
Why Traditional Systems Were Insufficient:
Centralized social and marketplace platforms do not support transparent, programmable royalties
Inability to enforce ownership or access rights on secondary sales
Lack of microtransaction capabilities limits monetization options for digital content
WHY BSV?
What Made BSV Ideal:
Ultra-low transaction fees (~0.001 USD per transaction), enabling cost-effective micropayments
Massively scalable public blockchain with proven high throughput
Legally compliant data structure and stable protocol suitable for enterprise-grade applications
Native on-chain storage for tokens, QR codes, and contractual terms
Comparison to Other Blockchains:
Unlike Ethereum and OpenSea, BSV supports actual on-chain data storage rather than just hash references
BSV's efficiency allows legally enforceable NFTs and tokenization at negligible cost
SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE
BSV-Based System Overview:
Minta is a white-label social marketplace and NFT engine for businesses, artists, and institutions to tokenize products, services, and experiences
Combines a non-custodial wallet, on-chain tokenization, and marketplace functionality
Key Components:
Tokenization: NFT minting of event tickets, products, services, and digital content using STAS protocol or alternatives like Tokenized
Smart Contracts: Legal terms embedded into each token as enforceable agreements between wallets
Data Logging: Full on-chain storage of metadata, ticket QR codes, and transaction terms
Partners/Vendors:
Studio Plus (sports consultancy promoting the platform to clubs and leagues)
Swift and Stripe for fiat payments and banking integration
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS
Phased Rollout:
Development and testing in Mallorca as a proof-of-concept hub
Gradual expansion via strategic partners like Studio Plus
Integration with Legacy Systems:
Payment integration with traditional banking and credit card systems (via Swift and Stripe)
KYB processes to facilitate regulatory compliance for business users
Stakeholder Onboarding:
Wallet setup with user-controlled keys (non-custodial)
Intuitive UI for minting and managing tokenized products, services, or tickets
OUTCOMES & BUSINESS IMPACT
Quantifiable Improvements:
Real-time royalties for artists and creators on resale
Direct-to-bank payouts for fiat purchases, eliminating middlemen
Full data sovereignty and control for users
Before vs After:
Before: Artists dependent on platforms for sales and royalties, subject to high fees
After: Artists can mint, sell, and earn residuals on every resale, fully peer-to-peer
Stakeholder Feedback:
Enhanced audience monetization and engagement for sports clubs, creators, and brands
Transparent, user-owned interactions without intrusive advertising
CHALLENGES & MITIGATIONS
Technical/Operational Challenges:
Ensuring legal enforceability of on-chain contracts
Maintaining user privacy and security while storing data on-chain
How BSV Helped:
Enabled affordable, scalable token issuance and contract storage
Provided a transparent and immutable ledger with privacy through wallet-level ownership
FUTURE VISION
Expansion Plans:
Extend Minta white-label offerings to more industries (e.g., education, media, retail)
Grow partnerships with brands, creators, and event organizers
Exploration of Additional BSV Functionalities:
Seamless micropayments for ad-free content consumption
Token-gated experiences and community engagement mechanisms
Integration with other Gate2Chain products (e.g., Trace for certification)
