Development update — What’s next for the Event Marketplace

The team have been talking for the last few weeks about how high priority features and improvements for the Event marketplace are key in preparing for a big adoption push. 2022 is going to be the year PhoenixDAO disrupt the Event industry! Here we share what is coming down the pipe early 2022.

Post launch the teams have been gathering feedback internally and more importantly from our users, this feedback has now been used to compile a list of high priority fixes and enhancements. The aim is to align these developments with the marketing/partnership push in the new year.

Removing pinch points and barriers to entry for event creators and general users looking to purchase tickets among monetizing the marketplace will see the dApp and project reaching new heights.

Below are some examples of questions that came up;

- What happens if an event is cancelled, the host cannot remove it from the marketplace nor can they easily contact/notify customers.

- Many users found the limitation of only being able to use the $PHNX token for ticket purchasing restrictive.

- Confusion and limitations for users when adding graphics to their events in order to get the best results in both the preview panel and event page.

- How does PhoenixDAO incentives the use of PHNX and capitalize on dApp usage

- Host creates an event and the location changes; how does the host update the detail without creating a whole new event?
