NEXTECH3D.AI PARTNERS WITH BITPAY TO POWER CRYPTO AND STABLECOIN PAYMENTS FOR EVENTS

Nextech3D.AI Corp. has finalized its integration with BitPay, a global leader in blockchain payment services. This integration, paired with significant backend infrastructure upgrades, strengthens the company's phase 2 blockchain suite across its flagship platforms: KraftyLab, Map D and Eventdex.

Strategic technical milestones achieved

Over the past week, the company successfully completed a series of critical technical migrations and deployments designed to enhance platform stability and scalability:

• Cloud infrastructure optimization: Migrated and deployed backend services to AWS containers with a stand-alone database. This transition is expected to improve resource efficiency by up to 80 per cent compared with traditional methods and provides a highly available, secure environment for global event scaling.
• Smart contract uniformity: Integrated smart contract deployment across both back-end and front-end systems to ensure a singular, verified contract version for all users.
• Flexible asset standards: Enabled support for both ERC721 (for unique collectibles) and ERC1155 (for multitier ticket types) standards. This flexibility allows organizers to manage diverse assets -- such as VIP and general admission -- within a single, cost-efficient contract.

BitPay integration and value proposition

The BitPay integration enables Nextech3D.AI's clients to settle transactions in over 100 digital assets. Industry data highlights the material benefits for merchants adopting blockchain payments:

The road ahead: road map highlights

With the foundational AWS migration complete, the company is focusing on the final elements of its Q1 blockchain road map: configurable royalty splitting: finalizing logic to redirect 7 to 10 per cent of resale value back to creators and organizers. Custodial resale: enabling ticket resale directly from custodial wallets to remove the technical friction for non-crypto-native corporate users.

CEO commentary

"Integrating BitPay is a logical step in our mission to modernize the experience economy," said Evan Gappelberg, chief executive officer of Nextech3D.AI. "By providing our enterprise clients with versatile, secure payment options and blockchain-backed credentials, we are removing technical barriers to entry. We believe these updates contribute to our competitive position as we look to scale our offerings in 2026."

He continues: "Moving our back-end to AWS containers while simultaneously launching BitPay provides the 'easy button' our enterprise clients demand. We are building a robust, high-margin foundation that positions Nextech3D.AI as a leader in the large and growing global ticketing and experience market."
