Overview
POAP (pronounced poh-ap) is a service that allows event organizers to distribute 'digital collectibles' to their attendees. These badges are minted as NFTs on the Gnosis Chain (formerly xDAI) or Ethereum, providing a verifiable record of participation.
Key Concepts
- Badges: Unique NFT designs for each event.
- Distribution: Usually done via QR codes, secret words, or email links during the event.
- Collection: Users store their POAPs in a single gallery, creating a 'digital scrapbook' of their experiences.
Use Cases
- Conferences: Proving attendance at technical or industry events.
- Community Calls: Rewarding active members of a DAO.
- In-Game Events: Commemorating special milestones in a virtual world.
