FIFA is leveraging the blockchain technology of Avalanche for its ticketing system for the 2026 World Cup. The system issues 'Right to Buy' (RTB) tokens on a dedicated Avalanche Layer-1 subnet. This implementation has managed to process more than 60,000 transactions since its inception without experiencing any disruptions. A significant aspect of the deployment is that the majority of users engaging with the ticketing platform are not aware that blockchain technology is underpinning their experience.
