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 createdJuly: 874 mints, 448 repos now supported2022: 2590 mints, 1029 repos supportedMints over time in 2022Number of projects supported in 2022Profiles created in 2022We 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 contributorsGithub botAbility to award contributors on-demand without a merged pull requestNotification bot comment for new eligibilityPublic APISelf service flow for creating a GitPOAPGithub status badges for GitPOAP eligibilityHackathon supportGitPOAP leaderboardSearch functionality for organizations & projectsAnd integrations:Gitcoin Passport uses GitPOAP as a high quality indicator for sybil resistanceGuild.xyz uses GitPOAPs to gate Discord servers, Telegram, & morenftychat.xyz GitPOAP-gated roomsPOAP.gallery GitPOAP integrationSnapshot POAP-gated votingearni.fi notifications for unclaimed GitPOAP goes into beta modeAnd we also hosted a community call series:#1: Paul Wackerow of ethereum.org#2: Ryan Berckmans of 3cities#3: Alex Stokes of the Ethereum Foundation#4: Zainan Victor Zhou, EIP editor and building ERCref#5: Manfred Touron of Berty TechnologiesDedicated 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.
