Therefore to qualify as a POAP a token must be minted through the POAP smart contract protocol and must also contain a cryptographic record of the time or date of the event it relates to. When the event itself takes place attendees can then scan a QR code which unlocks a unique NFT to prove they were present.

 

The Mechanism Behind POAP Each POAP is a digital badge essentially an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) that can be collected and stored in a digital wallet. They are minted through the POAP protocol whenever an individual participates in an event whether it's virtual or physical.

 

Distribution of POAPs: After the event the smart contract automatically distributes the unique POAP NFTs to the attendees? wallets. This is often facilitated via a QR code for easy access allowing attendees to claim their POAP by simply scanning the code with their smartphone.

 

Typically event attendees can collect these unique NFT badges via QR codes and participate in additional activities on the POAP platform such as community polls raffles and the POAP leaderboard.
