THE PEOPLE WANT THE POAPS
COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
Plex is a simple, no-code interface that empowers marketing agencies, Web3 projects, and Web2 brands to discover relevant Web3 audiences so they can engage them with personalized content, both on- and off-chain. And now, Plex searches can be filtered for wallets that hold specific POAPs, or groups of POAPs, to provide rich insights and targeted data.
The Plex POAP integration visualizes data from wallets that minted specific POAPs, such as the wallet balance, token holdings, NFTs, and more. This list of wallets can be saved into a Plex "Segment" for ongoing relationship management. Segments can then be engaged via Twitter messages, on-chain messages, airdrops, and more. Check out the video below for a walkthrough of POAP x Plex!
