# About

XP's mission is to bring transparency, efficiency, and affordability to tickets by bridging them onto the blockchain.

Getting a fairly-priced ticket used to be simple, but it's no longer possible in today's Web2 world of predatory marketplaces, high-level scammers, and expensive payment rails. We're leveraging Web3 to solve these problems. By connecting ticket buyers & sellers directly on-chain, XP is more efficient, secure, transparent, and minimally extractive.

We're currently open for early access only, and we have over 40,000+ tickets available for purchase with USDC. The majority of ticket listings on our site come from our partners in the ticket industry, but we're building XP such that ***anyone*** can buy or sell on the platform.

Our offerings:

### The Exchange 🏛️ 

Buy and sell tickets 100% securely within the XP community. Tickets are 100% verified by XP on the public ledger. Transactions happen instantly on-chain.

### The Concierge 🛎️

If you can't find what you're looking for on The Exchange, contact us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/fVd5ECdrBA). We'll scrape our broker partners to find exactly what you need.
