Revolutionizing the cinema with blockchain
HoytsX is revolutionizing the cinema experience by bringing the power of blockchain technology to movie enthusiasts. As the world's first decentralized cinema platform, we combine the timeless joy of film with cutting-edge Web3 innovation.
A decentralized cinema ticketing platform on the Sepolia Ethereum testnet. Users can explore a list of available movies, select a showtime, and purchase their seat as a non-fungible token (NFT) ticket. All movie and ticket data is stored on-chain, while poster images are hosted via IPFS. The app also includes admin features for the owner to manage the movie listings.
