What is Proof of Attendance Protocol?

P.O.A.P. is the platform and infrastructure that enables the creation and storage of memories by POAP issuers and POAP collectors. This is a set of smart contracts which, for practical reasons, is currently governed by POAP Inc.

POAPs, the collectibles, are NFTs minted under the Proof of Attendance Protocol smart contract. Each POAP is a digital record held by collectors as digital proof that they attended, or participated in, a physical, virtual, or spiritual event; the POAP can double as a token qualifying its collector for potential future utility.

Why is POAP used in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry?

POAPs are a gift from issuers to collectors that acknowledge the non-material (and, yet, invaluable) contributions that members of a community contribute to the collective health of the social organism in the form of time, energy, attention, participation, goodwill, talent, and other forms of prosocial activity.

For what purposes can POAP be used?

Collectible - Such as an attendee to a wedding receiving a POAP to commemorate the event, which has significant emotional value to the holder.

Recognition - Such as an academic institution issuing a POAP to graduates of a school program.

Reward - Such as a musician who rewards the attendees of a live performance with a POAP that can later be used to provide access to exclusive content or merch.

I am the owner of a POAP from several crypto projects and for me this is a definite confirmation of my activity.

It is important for me to understand that my actions as a member of the community are noticeable to the project and the project appreciates my contribution.
