POAPs have been percolating in the crypto culture for a while ever since they were created in 2017 at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ethdenver.com\/\">ETH Denver<\/a>. (A cryptocurrency conference held annually in Denver, Colorado, based around the Ethereum ecosystem.)<\/p>\n<p>Because POAPs started within the Ethereum culture which is deeply rooted in community and participation, it makes sense that POAPs flourished at crypto events, meet-ups, parties, and conferences worldwide. POAPs started as a niche crypto curiosity but have grown in popularity so much so that, in April 2022,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wmg.com\/news\/warner-music-group-partners-leading-web3-protocol-poap-inc-mint-shared-memories-nfts-36346\">Warner Music Group has announced a $10 million seed round of funding to partner with POAP<\/a> to begin issuing POAPs at concerts for musicians that are on their music label.<\/p>\n<p>Major brands and events such as\u00a0the US Open, Lollapalooza, Adidas, and Budweiser have all partnered with POAP. Up to this point, over four and a half million POAPs have been issued so far to over half a million POAP collectors.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Claim_a_POAP\"><\/span>How Do You Claim a POAP?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Claiming a POAP is easy. Depending on the event, there may be different ways to claim the POAP issued by the event organizers.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular way POAPs are distributed is through QR codes displayed at events. All you need to do is scan a QR code with your phone and then enter your email address or an Ethereum wallet address. If you use an Ethereum wallet address, the POAP gets minted on Gnosis chain (formerly known as xDAI chain) to save you from paying gas fees.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, you can migrate your POAP to the Ethereum blockchain\u2014if you wish\u2014by paying the gas fees. However, it\u2019s not necessary to do this unless there is some utility for the POAP that only works on Ethereum. This may be the case if the POAP badge is used by a community to unlock gated content or channels in forums like Discord.<\/p>\n<p>As a temporary placeholder for a crypto wallet, POAPs can be reserved with an email address. Claiming by email is different from using your Ethereum wallet. By using an email, you create a reservation within the POAP system for the ability to mint your POAP onto the blockchain at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>If you claim using your email you still get to enjoy all the functionality of your POAP by using your email to view your account\u2019s POAP gallery either through a web browser or an <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> on your mobile phone. However, it\u2019s important to understand that the POAP does not become an NFT until it has been cryptographically minted to the blockchain.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1262px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-800249 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Gallery-of-Claimed-POAPs.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Gallery of Claimed POAPs\" width=\"1262\" height=\"564\" data-credittext=\"Colin Brightfield\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gallery of Claimed POAPs <span class=\"imagecredit\">Colin Brightfield<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Else_Can_You_Do_With_POAPs\"><\/span>What Else Can You Do With POAPs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can do some fun things with your community of POAP holders to create engagement like host a raffle or hold voting. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/poap.fun\/\">POAP.fun<\/a> allows you to include all the holders of your event\u2019s POAP to participate in a raffle that is transparent and verifiable.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/poap.vote\/\">POAP.vote<\/a> hosts a unique voting is a mechanism in which the voters need to be a holder of your POAP in order to cast a vote.

We all form identities based on our experiences, and the modern world moves so quickly that we can forget what we even did last month.<\/p>\n<p>In a world where our digital identities are becoming ever more important, POAPs are a fresh crypto-friendly way to foster community and honor nostalgia in a verifiable and playful fashion. I love collecting POAPs from crypto and web3 events I have attended, and I hope that you get to enjoy the simple act of acknowledging that yes, indeed, you were there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
