📜Redeemable NFTs (POAPs)

POAPs, tickets, and more

Using Mintpad's tools, you can create redeemable NFTs like POAPs, tickets, and more. Combined with SBT (Soulbound Tokens) and Token Gating, the possibilities are endless!

What is POAP?

POAP stands for "Proof of Attendance Protocol." A POAP NFT is a specific type of NFT that shows you attended an event or experience. While POAP NFTs aren't yet widespread, they're quickly becoming popular.

POAPs are a great way to engage with your community! Use them in your lives, Discord, meetings... giving out POAPs to engage with your community members.

Can I transfer POAPs?

Since POAPs are NFTs, they can also be traded on various NFT marketplaces. However, POAPs are essentially proof of holders’ personal attendance at an event. So, it is up to you, but we encourage you not to allow (create Soulbound POAPs). However, you can always check the history of transfer and know who was the first owner of a POAP, which is the one who was really "attending."

Typically, these unique NFTs (ERC-721 or ERC-1155) are given out for free to event attendees, serving as verifiable proof that the holders attended that specific event. You could compare POAPs with a collection of concert tickets, except that they are digital and secured by blockchain technology.

¿How can i create a NFT collection for a POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol)?

Creating a collection for that purpose is as easy as making an NFT collection. You have two options. Choose the one that is simpler and better for you:

1. Create an "Editions" NFT Collection: You can set an image representing the event associated with the POAP and specify the number of attendees in the "editions size" field. If the number of attendees increases or decreases, adjust that number in the NFT collection mint settings. Additionally, you can reserve tokens.

2. Create a "Drops" NFT Collection: Choose this option if you want to create a personalized NFT for each attendee. You can set a different image for each participant, and in this mode, you can even assign specific metadata to each attendee. In the future, Mintpad will provide you with a tool for that.

In both forms, you can set the image of the NFT to the image that represents the event. Then, you can include event information such as the event date, event details, etc., in the metadata.

How can I submit the NFT POAP to each attendee?

It's as simple as airdropping NFTs to the attendees. If they have provided their wallets, or you can ask them for them, you can perform an airdrop on those wallets. If you have chosen option 2, then you can perform the airdrop one by one for each attendee and NFT. Another option is to request that they mint their own NFTs.

If attendees will mint their own POAPs, you can create a whitelist with their wallets. Then only the attendees will have access. This is valid for both methods explained.

If attendees are going to mint the NFTs themselves, you can also establish a maximum number of NFTs per wallet, for instance, 1.

Using this tool (Airdrops), you will be in charge of paying the gas for the transfer transaction. If you want the user to pay the gas fees or claim the NFTs themselves, you can use the whitelist tool with a 0 mint fee. That way, the receiver (e.g., airdrop winners or attendees) is the one who has to pay the gas to claim the prize/POAP.

If you don´t want POAPs transferred, you can set the collection as a soulbound collection or disable the option "Transferable NFTs" at the airdrop, converting them to Soulbound NFTs.
