NodeRails Crypto Checkout for Devcon Mumbai Tickets
Background
Devcon events have consistently pushed forward real-world Ethereum usage, including ticketing and payments.
At the same time, crypto payments are still not at the level of reliability and simplicity expected in high-volume, real-world systems. Users often face friction around wallets, chains, and tokens. On the operations side, teams deal with fragmented tooling, unclear payment states, and manual handling for refunds or reconciliation.
There has been strong progress in payment infrastructure, but there is still a gap between crypto payment rails and a complete checkout system that works smoothly for both users and organizers.
With NodeRails, we’ve been working on bridging that gap.
What we’re proposing
We propose integrating NodeRails as a crypto checkout option for Devcon Mumbai ticketing.
The goal is simple:
- Make it easy for anyone to buy a ticket using crypto
- Keep the checkout experience familiar and predictable
- Give the Devcon ops team a clean and reliable system to manage payments
This is not just about accepting crypto, it’s about making crypto checkout actually usable at scale.
Proposed solution
NodeRails provides a hosted checkout layer that integrates into existing ticketing flows without requiring deep changes.
Checkout flow
- User selects Pay with Crypto (NodeRails)
- Redirect to NodeRails hosted checkout
- NodeRails handles:
- chain and token abstraction
- pricing and settlement
- On successful payment:
- webhook confirms payment
- order is marked as paid
- Ticket is issued via existing flow
From the user’s perspective, this feels similar to modern checkout systems.
From the organizer’s perspective, it behaves like a standard payment provider.

Why this approach
Most existing solutions focus on enabling payments across chains and tokens. That’s important, but it still leaves complexity in:
- checkout experience
- payment lifecycle handling
- refunds and disputes
- operational visibility
NodeRails focuses on the full system:
- checkout
- payment confirmation
- reconciliation
- invoicing
- refunds
The aim is to reduce both user friction and operational overhead, not just improve the payment rail.
What we will deliver
- Drop-in payment integration compatible with the existing ticketing system
- Hosted checkout with multi-chain and multi-token support
- Webhook-based payment confirmation and reconciliation
- Dashboard for:
- payments
- customers
- refunds and disputes
- Automated invoice and confirmation emails
- Engineering support for setup and testing
- Support during ticket launch and event window
Cost
NodeRails will charge a 0.5% fee per successful payment.
- No integration or setup cost
- Support during rollout and event included
Timeline
We expect to have a production-ready integration within 2–3 weeks:
- Week 1: Alignment and staging setup
- Week 2: End-to-end testing with Devcon ops
- Week 3: Production rollout and monitoring
What success looks like
If successful, this enables:
- A checkout experience that abstracts away chains and tokens
- A system Devcon ops can manage without constant engineering support
- A reusable payment setup for future Devcon and Devconnect events

Final note
The goal is not just to support crypto payments, but to make them feel as reliable and straightforward as modern checkout systems.
If Ethereum is to power real-world commerce at scale, this layer needs to work well.
