Pinoy-Led NFT Ticketing Platform ReQuest Wins Big at Solana Summit
Filipino dev team secures 2nd place at Solana APAC Summit in Malaysia.
ReQuest, a Filipino-led ticketing and events dApp, secured 2nd place at the Solana APAC Summit hackathon in Kuala Lumpur. The team showcased innovative blockchain solutions for combating ticket fraud and improving event management.
What’s the significance: ReQuest wants to transform event ticketing with blockchain technology, providing transparent and secure solutions that enhance fraud prevention and event management efficiency.
ReQuest is co-founded by:
- John Sedano, Chief Blockchain officer / Yield Guild Games Campaign Director
- Alwyn Cruz, CEO / UI & UX / ex Toei Animation & Gameloft
- Josef Fabian, CTO / Sony Music Artist
- Gino Lee, COO / Hydro Manila Music Festival co-owner
Solana Summit achievement:
- ReQuest is 2nd place during the hackathon.
- Springx Accelerator: Selected from over 140 global applicants
The bootcamp was held at the AWS office in Kuala Lumpur, where the founders worked with other founders and developers in the Solana ecosystem.
How it Works: ReQuest operates as a decentralized application (dApp) built on the Solana blockchain.
- Users purchase tickets and manage events
- Transactions are recorded on the blockchain for transparency and immutability
- Benefits include real-time analytics and team management tools for event organizers
Proof of work: ReQuest and Yield Guild Games co-organized the official “Developers Night Private Event” in REDROOM, Kuala Lumpur to wrap up the Solana Summit.
Still, while blockchain-based ticketing solutions offer enhanced security and transparency, widespread adoption may still face regulatory challenges and technological barriers.
What’s next: ReQuest plans to leverage its success at the Solana APAC Summit to expand its user base and partnerships globally.
What to watch: ReQuest also shared that it had a meeting with Iqbal Ameer of ALL ACCESS, one of the biggest events and music festival organizers in Southeast Asia, responsible for ZoukOut, Its the Ship, and more.
