• Q4 2025 launch introduces "walletless" custodial solution

• Phase 2 native self-custody option targeted for early 2026

NEW YORK CITY, NY AND TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / September 24, 2025 / Nextech3D.ai (CSE:NTAR)(OTCQB:NEXCF)(FSE:1SS) (the "Company" or "Nextech3D.ai"), an AI-powered event management company, today announced more details of its previously announced blockchain ticketing roadmap. The company is executing a two-track rollout of its blockchain ticketing platform which unifies ticketing, payments, identity, and AR/AI navigation . The Company will first launch a custodial- no-crypto-wallet-needed- ticketing solution in Q4 2025, followed by a Phase 2 native/self-custody wallet option targeted for early 2026.

With blockchain tokenized ticketing scheduled to launch in Q4, Nextech3D.ai is positioned to participate in both primary ticket sales and the secondary resale market, currently dominated by legacy players, while offering both a secure blockchain solution and scalable revenue model.

Phase 1 - Q4 2025: Walletless Fan Experience

Designed for maximum accessibility and compliance, the Phase 1 release removes Web3 friction for fans while delivering on-chain benefits to organizers.

Key features

• Walletless checkout: Fans buy with card/ACH/Apple Pay/Google Pay; a secure custodial smart wallet is created behind the scenes-no seed phrases, no crypto app required.

• On-chain tickets Event-Token™: Verifiable, fraud-resistant tickets with programmable resale rules; price caps/floors, transfer limits, blackout windows, VIP offers.

• Compliance-first UX: All-in pricing by default with audit-ready logs, anti-bot purchase limits, and identity checks at primary sale.

• USDC/ACH payouts for organizers: Faster settlement and automated split payments; consumers can still pay in fiat at checkout.

• Map D navigation: Integrated AR/AI wayfinding, QR/NFC entry validation, and crowd-flow analytics for upsells and better on-site experience.

• Regulator dashboard: One-click exports for fee transparency, issuance/supply, anti-bot metrics, and resale-within-cap reporting.

Who benefits first: sports & festivals primary + controlled resale, trade shows & conferences Map D installed base, and mid-market venues/campuses.

Phase 2 (early 2026): Native Crypto Wallet / Self-Custody

For power users and partners who want full Web3 capability, Nextech will add an optional native wallet path.

Additions in Phase 2

• Self-custody option: Users can hold tickets in their own wallet, with seamless import/export from custodial to native.

• Advanced loyalty & collectibles: On-chain perks, proofs of attendance, and programmable rewards.

• Deeper partner integrations: Broader settlement, loyalty, and marketplace interoperability under the same smart-contract rules.

Evan Gappelberg, CEO of Nextech3D.ai:
"Our two-track roadmap lets us ship a fan-friendly, walletless solution in Q4 while laying the foundation for a self-custody option in early 2026. We're turning compliance into a product feature-all-in pricing, anti-bot identity, and programmable resale-and pairing it with Map D navigation and faster USDC/ACH payouts. We believe this is the stack organizers and fans have been waiting for."

Why this matters now

• Trust & transparency: All-in pricing and verifiable tickets address consumer pain points and regulatory pressure.

• Operational speed: Tap-and-go QR/NFC entry and automated settlement improve event throughput and cash flow.

• Revenue lift: Map D's AR/AI navigation enables geofenced offers, sponsor routes, and on-site conversions; resale royalties and fee-shares are enforced in smart contracts.

• Choice, not complexity: Phase 1 gives mass-market simplicity; Phase 2 unlocks advanced Web3 for users and partners who want it.

Built-In Adoption & Immediate Pipeline

• Nextech's Map D platform already supports 500+ events annually, with about 125+ involving ticket sales

• With 125+ existing clients positioned to adopt the new ticketing platform the company has an established pipeline offering fast, low-friction revenue wins from the outset.
