The hottest news and updates from the POAP ecosystem.
HYPE
- During her keynote speech at the ETHLatam conference last week in Buenos Aires, Aya Miyaguchi (Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation) said she, "is a long-term big fan of POAP because I think they represent the culture of Ethereum in many different ways." Listen to the clip or watch the full speech:
- Patricio spoke at ETHLatam (Cointelegraph also mentioned he would speak in its ETHLatam primer):
- Vogue Business wrote about (paywall) gmoney's luxury label launch and mentioned how he distributes his personal POAP via an IYK card.
- CryptoNews published a recap of Vitalik Buterin's discussion of "worthwhile ideas for developers" at ETH Seoul, one of which was privacy. POAP was brought up as "a protocol that can confirm an address belongs to someone who participated in an event without revealing the identity of the person."
