You are invited to try the Uptick iOS Beta!

Uptick is the first ticketing dApp developed on the DMA platform. Powered by blockchain technology, Uptick manages and confirms the rights on the blockchain, while at the same time, combats the counterfeiting of tickets. Tradable, traceable, and all without the need of intermediaries. Transaction records are publicly available and trustworthy, subverting the current traditional ticket market model.

In January of this year, the Uptick dApp was released for Android. We continuously received feedback from our enthusiastic community, whether it was feedback on application bugs, suggestions for product optimisation, or suggestions for project development. All of these combined elements have helped us tremendously.

In the following months, we continued to improve and optimise the Android version of Uptick. In early May, we added two main functions:

Message Function

FIAT Payment Function

While Android has been a primary focus, we have not ignored the Uptick iOS version. With the development team working relentlessly day and night, the iOS version was developed at the end of May.

Main Functions:

The purchase, transfer and resale of tickets

Uptick’s main function is still the sale of tickets, where users are given the ability to browse the store and purchase tickets for their favourite events. They can also resell or transfer their tickets in the secondary market. The free and flexible nature of Uptick completely solves the problem of transferring ownership after the purchase of the ticket.

FIAT Payment Function

The FIAT payment function for Uptick is a vital element on our roadmap. This will enable true adoption where end-users can freely purchase tickets with ELA, without even knowing it. From their perspective, they will just be using their standard payment method with USD (for example) however ‘under the hood’ ELA will be utilised as the base currency for all transactions.

Currently we are working to make this a reality in Uptick. However, we do want to clarify that this is still in its infancy and ‘demo’ stage. At the moment, we require a connection to a fiat gateway service with legal contracts from a legal entity that runs Uptick. Because the business side of Uptick is yet to be initiated, the FIAT function in Uptick remains in its demo mode. Eventually, when you purchase a ticket to an event, you will see the fiat currency price of the ticket on the buy page, with the option to pay directly with FIAT using our own service. The community will be updated regularly on the progress of this function.

Usage flow:

Click [Wallet] — [Fund ELA]

Fill in the amount you need to fund and confirm.

Classification Optimisation

Convenient classification: Too many activities to look at, and you can’t find any that interest you at first glance? There are five popular categories in the upper part of the homepage. After clicking, you can show the performance activities under the corresponding category, making it much more convenient for you.

What’s hot: If you have a wide range of interests, don’t miss out on the [What’s hot] section we added. See which shows are the most popular.

Sort by distance: Want to display the show that are most relevant to your location? Try [Nearby] and choose a suitable event.

Message Function

Buyers and sellers can easily chat online and communicate by sending text and images to one another. Select one of your orders in the [My Orders] list and click the message button in the upper right hand corner to chat with the seller.

Note that only online chat is supported, and offline features will be updated in subsequent releases, so please keep an eye out for those.
