Two teams.
One already building.
Anvil has been shipping production infrastructure on Cardano since 2022. Sellout has been selling tickets to real fans since 2017. Together: a Cardano-native development agency with 250+ projects and a Web2 ticketing platform with 200,000+ users. Phase 1 is already live.
We’ve already done the hard part.
Phase 1 is not a promise — it’s a receipt. The on-chain ticketing infrastructure is built, integrated, and deployed. Sellout paid for it. Anvil built it. This isn’t two teams pitching an idea. It’s two teams asking to finish what they already started.
We abstract blockchain from blockchain. We just make software that works.
Web3 solutions for brands.ada-anvil.io
Anvil is the integration layer Cardano enterprises actually use. The Anvil API is a production REST surface for transactions, minting, contracts, and wallet flows. For Sellout, Anvil designed and implemented the full Cardano ticketing backbone: event policies, royalty tokens, master manifest NFTs, CIP-68 ticket NFTs, transfer flows, and attendance verification.
Notable work: the Intersect MBO integration (SDK-embedded payment portal — fiat or ADA), the Virtua launch rescue (delivered overnight when a major metaverse launch failed), and production deployments for Nuvola, Merchadise, WayUp, TournamentBuilder, and Cardavest.

The team that already delivered Phase 1.
Anvil and Sellout have already proven they can work together — Phase 1 was a production delivery, not a workshop. Phase 2 extends a working pipeline rather than inventing a new one.
