5 Fun Things You Can Do With Your POAP Collectors

A guide for community builders who want more

Every POAP that mints is the beginning of a story between the collector, and that POAP’s issuer. After that first moment, it’s up to the issuer to continue the fun! We provide plenty of easy tools for community builders to create even more memories. Even with no tech team at hand, here are five simple and powerful things you can do right now with your POAP collectors.

All these tools work out of the box — and the more POAPs you’ve issued, the more doors you can open. Let’s explore!

1. đź—‚ Build Your Collection

Use: POAP Collections

Every POAP you drop tells a story. With POAP Collections, you can bring all those stories together into one home. Think of it like a digital scrapbook for your community, with:

  • A clean, branded page showing all your POAP drops, with neat subcategories to create coherence
  • Leaderboards that highlight your most engaged collectors.
  • A page that brings together all the Moments attached to any POAP in this collection

POAP Collections is the perfect tool to trace the growth of distributed communities over time.

đź’ˇ Tip: Use organisation attribution when you create your POAPs to start building your Collection from day one. Each POAP will be added to your Collection automatically, helping you grow a rich and meaningful story over time.

2. ✨ Share a Moment

Use: POAP Moments

Take a photo or it didn’t happen! Moments lets you enrich a drop with a range of media including videos and GIFs. You can even tag friends by their ENS. It turns collecting into a shared, social experience — perfect for:

  • Photos from IRL meetups.
  • Screenshots from online game nights.
  • Memories from big launch events.

Collectors can add their own media too, turning one drop into a community gallery and time capsule.

“Media is fragmented locally on people’s devices, across community chats, team chats and social media. Moments help us collect and collate who was there and create further discussion after the event.”
- Snax, Founder of Pizza DAO

đź’ˇ Tip: Moments Live is an interactive photo wall designed for creating Moments on the spot.

3. 🎟 Run a Raffle in Minutes

4. 🧑‍🎨 Paint Together with POAP Art

Use: POAP Art

Imagine a canvas where everyone who holds your POAPs can paint — one pixel at a time. With POAP Art, community becomes creativity. You set the rules:

  • Who can draw (based on POAP ownership)
  • How fast they can draw (more POAPs, faster painting!)
  • When the canvas ends (it becomes an NFT!)

POAP Art is great for livestreams with down time, community cross overs, and other online events.

🎨 “Everyone’s drawing together, and it shows who was really there. It turns into a piece of community history.”

🗺️ POAP Scavenger Hunts 

Use: POAPs, Collections, Fun, and your best ideas!

You don’t need a big development team to build a fun campaign. One all time favorite use of POAP is for creating Scavenger Hunts with fun prizes at the end!

  • Design a hunt: Create POAPs that mint at 5 - 15 locations. Use GPS minting for hunts across a city, or more localized methods like NFC inside a venue.
  • Reward the winners: Offer fun perks for collecting a set. Run a raffle to pick lucky winners. Partner with other projects to encourage cross-pollination.
  • Get creative: Hide POAPs online as well as in person. Or conduct the hunt online, for a reward in real life.

đź’ˇ Tips

  • Add scarcity: Make some POAPs only for early birds to encourage early engagement.
  • Vary timing: Play with drops available for the length of the activation, and others for specific events.
  • Layer prizes: Consider having unique prizes for raffle winners, as well as rewards for everyone who took part in the hunt.
