TORONTO, ON AND NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / January 16, 2026 / Nextech3D.ai (CSE:NTAR)(OTCQB:NEXCF)(FSE:1SS), an AI-first technology provider specializing in live event solutions, is pleased to announce it 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 standalone database. This transition is expected to improve resource efficiency by up to 80% compared to traditional methods and provides a highly available, secure environment for global event scaling.
Smart Contract Uniformity: Integrated smart contract deployment across both backend and frontend 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 multi-tier 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 & 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: Roadmap Highlights
With the foundational AWS migration complete, the Company is focusing on the final elements of its Q1 blockchain roadmap: Configurable Royalty Splitting: Finalizing logic to redirect 7-10% 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.
