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 Mints over time in 2022 Number of projects supported in 2022 Profiles created in 2022 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 Github bot Ability to award contributors on-demand without a merged pull request Notification bot comment for new eligibility Public API 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: #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 Technologies 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! Many thanks for reading! All the best, GitPOAP Team
