Learn about Polymesh POAPs and why you might want to begin collecting them.
If you follow Polymesh on Twitter, you’ve probably seen some posts on Polymesh POAPs floating around.
A POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol) is a unique badge minted to the blockchain, issued as an NFT. Designed to be digital mementos for life experiences, POAPs let collectors build a tapestry of tokenized experiences to prove the places they’ve been, whether virtual or real-world (and earn bragging rights along the way!).
But there’s another compelling reason to collect POAPs: aside from showing off a user’s event participation, POAPs also unlock possibilities for more exclusive engagement.
POAPs have been used by blockchain communities for qualifying airdrops or to offer exclusive perks purely for POAP-holders, and there’s also been talk of using POAPs like a blockchain resumé when hiring into community-driven entities like DAOS (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations).
In the future, Polymesh might also offer exclusive opportunities for community POAP holders, which is why it would be a good idea to begin collecting them!
Currently, Polymesh POAPs are available to claim for anyone who bridged POLY to POLYX through the upgrade bridge before April 2022:
In February 2022, we offered the community a chance to help create our next POAP for February and March Bridgers, for a chance to win 500 POLYX if their design was chosen.
Huge congrats to the winner of the contest @MG_6197!
