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. This integration aims to streamline the ticketing process and potentially enhance security and transparency for World Cup ticket holders.
