Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP)

The Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP) is a system for creating digital badges (as NFTs) that prove an individual attended or participated in a specific event, whether physical or virtual. POAPs serve as on-chain credentials that can be collected and displayed, functioning like digital souvenirs. They are used at conferences, community meetups, online events, and protocol milestones. POAPs have become a building block for on-chain reputation and community engagement systems.
