Overview
FAN3 builds tools for artists to own and engage their fan base using live events and digital tokens. It operates a platform that issues digital passes and NFC-enabled wristbands integrated with major ticketing systems to verify fans, block bots, and grant prioritised access to pre-sales and events. Passes can be stored in a mobile wallet and enable direct artist-to-fan communication via push notifications, bypassing social-media algorithms. Fans can receive on-chain mementos and exclusive content, while artists capture and own fan data, reducing fraud and scalping. The business focuses on a suite of artist tools for capturing fan data at live events, engaging fans digitally, and generating additional revenue by bridging real-world events with digital ownership. FAN3 is backed by investors such as Dream Ventures, Improbable, Alchemy Ventures, Avalanche, and Comma Capital and had raised $4.73 million as of May 2025.
