Gm POAP frens! Below I will share what I consider to be the 3 most memorable POAPs preserved in the protocol.

#1: ETHDenver 2019
------------------

I chose this one because it was the first POAP to be minted. Patricio in his talk at ETHLatam Buenos Aires 2022 commented that the first person to claim it was [Daniel Fernández](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmf7z/), who also created the first POAP smart contract.

#2: POAP Curation Community Call #1
-----------------------------------

The first times always have their special touch. More so if an entire community is involved. That is the main reason why I chose this POAP. The active participation of the community is very important to maintain the health of the protocol.

#3: ETHLatam @ Buenos Aires 2022 🧉🇦🇷
---------------------------------------

Again with the first: I choose this POAP because it was the first Ethereum event of such magnitude held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which brought together the entire LATAM community. I have no doubt that it will be historic.
