Hey there builders & supporters… it’s 2023! We want to start off with a 2022 recap of GitPOAP’s progress:
April 2022: GitPOAP launched! — GitPOAP’s aim in launching was to create an incentive structure that was easily configurable for projects, especially open-source, to reward the people who spend their valuable time to helping to build.
Day 1: 189 mints from just 17 repos, 152 new profiles created
July: 874 mints, 448 repos now supported
2022: 2590 mints, 1029 repos supported
We spent the summer focusing on supporting any repo who was open source and seeking to reward existing contributors and attract new ones. But our engineers were also working diligently on making GitPOAP an increasingly useful tool for project maintainers.
In 2022, we implemented a number of features:
Custom GitPOAPs to give maintainers flexibility in recognizing non-coding contributors
Ability to award contributors on-demand without a merged pull request
Notification bot comment for new eligibility
Self service flow for creating a GitPOAP
Github status badges for GitPOAP eligibility
Hackathon support
GitPOAP leaderboard
Search functionality for organizations & projects
And integrations:
Gitcoin Passport uses GitPOAP as a high quality indicator for sybil resistance
Guild.xyz uses GitPOAPs to gate Discord servers, Telegram, & more
nftychat.xyz GitPOAP-gated rooms
POAP.gallery GitPOAP integration
Snapshot POAP-gated voting
earni.fi notifications for unclaimed GitPOAP goes into beta mode
And we also hosted a community call series:
#2: Ryan Berckmans of 3cities
#3: Alex Stokes of the Ethereum Foundation
#4: Zainan Victor Zhou, EIP editor and building ERCref
Dedicated members of our team attended and built connections at Devconnect, EthDenver, EthCC, EthBerlin, DAppCon, Devcon, Github Universe & the MIT Bitcoin Expo Hackathon
We’d call it a fruitful year and we’re super grateful to have you with us. We’ve got a ton on our roadmap this year, so we’ll talk to you at the next update!
🖖, The GitPOAP Team
