Introducing POAP Checkout

Creators, communities, and non-profits can unlock the value of shared memories by selling POAPS to support ideas they care about.

What is POAP Checkout?

POAP Checkout is an experiment in collective culture creation. Since the Protocol’s inception, thousands of POAPs have tokenized moments that shape culture. Many issuers have voiced a desire to offer their collectibles to larger audiences in celebration of moments that aren’t shared by a well-defined group of people. In that spirit, we have good news.

With POAP Checkout, issuers can create history with audiences of all sizes by minting POAPs for the collectors that value the moment.

Who can use POAP Checkout (and why should they)?

POAP Checkout is available to anyone. Just as people are always thinking up innovative ways to use POAPs, we expect the same with POAP Checkout. We’ve already seen the power of Checkout with communities like Rocket Pool raising funds while celebrating a protocol milestone and Art Blocks turning an anniversary into a fundraising event for a social impact organization.

For Communities and Charities

POAPs are attestations of contribution and connection. Drops connect community members to each other, unlocking an ecosystem of value. The pay-to-collect model of POAP Checkout encourages more authentic engagement, which is a tremendous benefit for online communities eager to bond with valued members while filtering out opportunists.

For charities and nonprofits, POAPs can be sold as a cool piece of digital art that doubles as verifiable proof of donation. Over time, donation POAPs allow a collector to showcase their donation history and stay connected to the causes they care about.

For Creators

POAP Checkout gives communities an opportunity to support the creators they love. POAPs are not designed to be traded, but preserved and treasured. Selling POAPs in celebration of historically relevant moments gives creators a way to fund their future projects while connecting with their biggest supporters.

This also opens new doors for artists to share, distribute, and promote their work. Artist partner with communities to create valuable collectibles in celebration of cultural moments. For example, POAP inc. recently launched a POAP checkout in celebration of an innovative artistic and cultural movement.
