Mivio App Revolutionizes Festival Payments with Yellow SDK—Zero Fees, Full Freedom

Festival finance just got a crypto-powered facelift. Mivio’s new app—built on Yellow SDK—is slicing through payment friction like a machete through red tape.

No fees. No middlemen. Just cashless convenience.

Vendors and attendees can now transact directly, bypassing the usual 3% blood sacrifice to payment processors. (Take that, legacy finance vampires.) The app’s lightweight architecture leverages Yellow SDK’s modular infrastructure—scalable enough for a 50k-person festival, nimble enough for a pop-up taco stand.

Early adopters report settlement speeds that make Visa’s batch processing look like carrier pigeons. And because it’s blockchain-native, chargeback fraud—that favorite scam of drunk festival-goers—gets kicked to the curb.

Of course, crypto purists will grumble about ‘another closed-loop payment rail.’ But for the masses just wanting a beer without ATM fees? This might be the gateway drug DeFi needs.

What to Know:

• Festival vendors receive instant payments without transaction fees and can transfer funds directly to bank accounts after events
• Attendees earn rewards through booth visits while using the app for purchases and payments
• The platform provides privacy-focused analytics and automated sponsorship tools for brands and event organizers

The application addresses payment friction at festivals while creating a rewards ecosystem for attendees. Vendors benefit from immediate payment processing without the fees typically associated with festival transactions.

Festival-goers accumulate experience points and digital badges through booth interactions, building profiles they can use at future events. The rewards system aims to increase engagement between attendees and vendors.

Brands and event organizers access real-time analytics through the platform while maintaining user privacy. The system includes automated sponsorship tools designed to facilitate brand engagement without manual intervention.

The technical infrastructure relies on Next.js and Postgres for the web application framework. The platform uses VLayer for email verification and event attendance certification, while Yellow enables automatic anonymous payments. FLOW blockchain technology powers the creation of soulbound NFTs, and wagmi and viem provide blockchain connectivity.

The system represents an attempt to modernize festival commerce by eliminating cash transactions while creating digital engagement opportunities. Vendors gain immediate access to funds, while attendees build portable digital identities across events.

Final Thoughts

Mivio's platform addresses multiple festival commerce challenges by combining cashless payments, instant vendor fund transfers, and attendee reward systems. The technology aims to create a comprehensive ecosystem connecting festival-goers, vendors, and event organizers through integrated digital tools.
