The Proof of Attendance Protocol (aka POAP) is a way to save digital mementos, allowing you to bookmark things you have done in life.
Pronounced poh-app (POAP), the protocol gives attendees a way to keep a record of their attendance for any type of experience – event, conference, meeting, membership – could be anything.
Project leads and hosts often create POAPs for official events that they host with their community. As you can see below, the early POAPs from well-known and respected initiatives tend to be more valuable, symbolizing a type of “OG” status for the early members.
Whether that’s a simple AMA session on Discord or Twitter Spaces, or if its a in-person meetup event – bringing the community together in these types of events can be huge for long term community building.
A POAP can also be a gift from an issuer to collectors, to celebrate a shared memory.
In most cases, mint price for a POAP is completely free – where the user is able to mint one simply by being in attendance at the event. Additionally, gas is normally free as well.
Do you want to create or mint POAPs? First, you need to setup a crypto wallet.
