THIRD PARTY TIME
Builders are the unsung heroes of the POAP ecosystem. Check out the POAP Directory for more info on third-party integrations.
PREMINT has had more than 2.5 million wallets use its Web3 platform to register for allowlist raffles. Creators such as XCOPY, communities such as VeeFriends, and brands including Gucci have all used PREMINT. Now, PREMINT creators can give POAP holders special access to allowlist registrations for an upcoming drop.
From the PREMINT team: "Adding POAP support is yet another way to create an allowlist targeted to specific communities. POAPs are a wonderful way for people to show their participation in a community and/or event."
