Aptos Partners with Daehong for On-Chain Ticketing System

Aptos has teamed up with Daehong Communications to create a new on-chain ticketing system designed for cultural events organized by Lotte Group. This initiative aims to enhance the digital experience for attendees while building on their previous blockchain collaboration.

Since integrating with Aptos' mainnet in July 2025, Daehong's Giftiel platform has successfully issued over 5 million digital vouchers to more than 1.3 million users. This partnership, which began in March 2024, initially focused on digital vouchers, but is now expanding to include concert and exhibition tickets.

The on-chain ticketing system is set to offer verified ownership and real-time traceability, along with anti-counterfeit measures. Importantly, consumers will not need to set up crypto wallets or pay gas fees, making the purchasing process similar to any other mobile transaction.

This move is part of a broader strategy by Lotte Group to integrate blockchain technology into various aspects of its operations, including loyalty programs and digital assets management. The collaboration is expected to further enhance the user experience and transparency in ticketing for cultural events.
