In general POAPs are a great way to engage with the community, reward contributors and reflect on the things we’ve experienced together.

Thanks to our poolers Oops (Weekly POAP Designs since day 1), Nahuel (always got your back when it comes to distribution) and Pedro our community has some the dankest POAPs out there — that’s a fact. 🔥👏

…but also the reason PoolTogether POAPs get heavily farmed by people that have no connection to the DAO or protocol at all.

Contributor-, Milestone- and Entertainment-POAPs

To tackle this we’re releasing new sets of unfarmable POAPs, only given out to close contributors and supporters of the protocol. This will allow us to finally build more utility on top of these POAPs.

The first POAPs of this kind have already been released, and there are more to be announced. Big shoutout and thank you once again to Oops & Pedro for the Designs and to Nahuel for all the ongoing behind the scenes work! 🌊🏆

All in all the POAPs can be broken down into three categories:

1. Contributor POAPs (1⏐2⏐3)
2. Milestone POAPs (1⏐2⏐3)
3. Entertainment POAPs (1)

They’re aiming to:

• Recognize and reward contributors of the PoolTogether DAO
• Enable poolers to to use them as proof of work, web3 CV, or achievements in the space
• Allow us build utility on top of POAPs like giving out free rewards, access to events & more

Over time and with deeper involvement of individual contributors in PoolTogether, the POAPs will introduce different levels to gamify your path while you evolve in the DAO.
