Established in 2019, the Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP) was created to preserve memories of meaningful shared experiences between humans. POAP provides tools for creating digital collectibles that commemorate an event, distributing those collectibles to guests, and giving them life beyond the event. The collectibles created by the Proof of Attendance Protocol are known as POAPs, and are minted as ERC-721 tokens to a blockchain.
What is POAP?
The Proof of Attendance Protocol turns precious moments into digital collectibles. Using blockchain technology, POAP tokenizes your memories, so they can last forever and be truly yours.
Each POAP is a reminder of an experience that's shared between collectors. Your POAP collection is a scrapbook and a passport: it's a handy way to capture your life's greatest hits, in a way that may unlock surprises down the road.
Who is POAP for?
POAPs are for everyone. From event hosts and guests, to artists, communities, and companies, POAP is used by anyone who wants to preserve history with collectibles.
How does it work?
Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP) is a blockchain-based system that uses non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to verify that someone attended an event. POAPs are a secure and tamper-proof way to record attendance, and they can be used in a variety of settings.
The geeky part: POAPs are ERC-721 tokens minted on the POAP smart contracts. The tokens are minted on the Ethereum blockchain, which ensures transparent record keeping.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I collect POAPs?
POAP collectors need to have an Ethereum wallet set up in order to ‘mint’ a POAP. This learning curve can be long, especially for those new to crypto, so, to make the experience available to everyone, POAPs can also be reserved with an email, to mint at a later date.
How do I use POAP?
The easiest way to use POAP is by downloading the official POAP Home app from the App Store / Play Store. Once the app is installed and a POAP has been minted, collectors can start exploring things to do in the surrounding ecosystem. As a POAP collector, you can share media with others, participate in raffles hosted by issuers, browse POAP Collections for related POAPs, or simply reminisce about the memories you've made.
