Welcome to EventChain, a revolutionary ticketing system leveraging blockchain technology to ensure security, transparency, and trust in event ticketing. EventChain allows event organizers to issue non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as tickets, providing a tamper-proof solution that prevents fraud, enhances traceability, and ensures tickets are always valid and secure.

EventChain is designed to address common issues in traditional ticketing systems, such as counterfeit tickets, ticket scalping, and lack of transparency. By utilizing NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain, EventChain provides a decentralized, secure, and verifiable way to manage tickets for various events including concerts, theater, and cinema.

• Secure Ticketing: Each ticket is minted as an NFT, ensuring uniqueness and preventing counterfeiting.
• Transparent Ownership: Track the ownership history of each ticket on the blockchain.
• Expiration Control: Set expiration dates for tickets to ensure they can only be used within a valid timeframe.
• Event Management: Organizers can create events and manage ticket issuance through the EventManager contract.
• Resale Control: Set maximum resale prices to prevent ticket scalping and protect consumers.
• Auditable Events: Emit events for actions like minting, transferring, validating, and burning tickets to enable full transparency.

The EventManager contract is responsible for creating and managing events. It interacts with the NftTickets contract to mint tickets for specific events.

• createEvent: Create a new event with details such as name, location, date, and ticket price.
• getEventDetails: Retrieve details of a specific event.
• mintTicket: Mint a new ticket for a specified event.

The NftTickets contract is an ERC721 compliant contract that handles the minting, transferring, validating, and burning of tickets.

• safeMint: Mint a new ticket with details such as event information, original price, and expiration date.
• validateTicket: Mark a ticket as used, ensuring it cannot be reused.
• getTicketHistory: Retrieve the ownership history of a ticket.
• getTicketStatus: Check if a ticket is used and if it is still valid.
• updateTicketMetadata: Update the metadata of a ticket.
• setMaxResalePrice: Set a maximum resale price for a ticket.
• burnExpiredTickets: Burn tickets that have expired to free up resources.

To set up the project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/EventChain.git
   cd EventChain

Install dependencies:

bash Copiar código npm install Compile the smart contracts:

bash Copiar código npx hardhat compile Deploy the contracts:

bash Copiar código npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network Usage Once the contracts are deployed, you can interact with them using a web3-enabled application or directly through scripts.

Create an Event:

javascript Copiar código const eventManager = new ethers.Contract(eventManagerAddress, EventManagerABI, signer); await eventManager.createEvent("Concert", "Madison Square Garden", "2024-06-30", ethers.utils.parseEther("0.1")); Mint a Ticket:

javascript Copiar código await eventManager.mintTicket(eventId, userAddress, ticketURI); Validate a Ticket:

javascript Copiar código const nftTickets = new ethers.Contract(nftTicketsAddress, NftTicketsABI, signer); await nftTickets.validateTicket(ticketId); Burn an Expired Ticket:

javascript Copiar código await nftTickets.burnExpiredTickets(ticketId); Contributing We welcome contributions from the community! Please fork the repository and submit pull requests for any improvements or bug fixes.
