POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol). Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about POAP:
1. What is POAP?
- POAP is a way for people and organizations to create and share precious digital collectibles with attendees of events. Think of it as giving out a digital memory or keepsake, but instead of a physical item, it’s safely stored online forever.
2. How do I reserve a POAP?
- You can reserve a POAP using an email address. If reserved with an email, it’s linked to your email, and you can mint it to your Web3 wallet later, though it’s not required immediately.
3. What is the POAP Home app?
- The POAP Home app is where you can view your collection, follow other users, and receive notifications about Moments and POAP Drops. You can also distribute POAPs through the app using a dynamic QR code.
4. What are POAP Moments?
- POAP Moments allow you to enrich your digital collectibles by adding images, videos, audio, or text. Think of it as adding personal memories to your event collectible, making each POAP a more meaningful keepsake.
5. Do I need a cryptocurrency wallet to use POAP?
- No, you can use your email address to reserve POAPs. While you can reserve and manage POAPs with just your email, using a crypto wallet adds ownership and flexibility. You can mint your POAP to the blockchain at any time for permanent recording.
6. What happens if I don’t mint my POAP to a Web3 wallet?
- Your POAP will stay reserved to your email address, and it won’t be lost. You can mint it later when you’re ready, and it will remain safely stored and tied to your email until then.
7. Why should I collect POAPs?
- POAPs are precious digital collectibles that preserve important moments, whether it’s a birthday, wedding, travel destination, or casual gathering. Unlike physical memorabilia, POAPs can’t be damaged or lost—they stay with you forever.
8. Can POAPs be used for more than event attendance?
- Yes! POAPs can offer future benefits like early access to events, exclusive content, or personalized rewards. Event organizers can continue adding features over time, so your POAPs remain valuable and meaningful.
9. Where can I see my POAP collection?
- Once you've reserved or minted a POAP, you can view your entire collection on the POAP Home mobile app. The app not only lets you access all your digital collectibles in one place but also allows you to follow other users, explore new POAP Drops, and view Moments shared by event organizers. It’s an easy and interactive way to manage and showcase your POAPs.
10. Can I sell or transfer my POAPs?
- While you can transfer POAPs to another wallet, they are primarily personal keepsakes. Most users prefer to keep them as part of their digital collection, preserving important memories.
