THE PEOPLE WANT THE POAPS

THIRD PARTY TIME

👚
Uniqly.io now integrates POAP!

Uniqly.io enables creators, artists, and brands to bridge physical and digital experiences; the Uniqly platform provides a fully automated, no-code solution where anyone can create physical products that have digital counterparts in the form of NFTs.

When someone mints an NFT on Uniqly, they can then order the physical version of the product, which comes equipped with an NFC chip. By scanning this embedded NFC chip with a phone, anyone can find the product's history on the blockchain to prove ownership and authenticity.

In addition to proving ownership and authenticity, the NFC chips in Uniqly products can now be easily configured to mint POAPs! From the Uniqly team: "We integrated POAP to provide new utilities for our clothing. We want to enable people to leverage experiences during events and change the way they perceive clothing, showcasing how it can be more than just a garment and can open doors to a whole new wave of possibilities."

Follow Uniqly on Twitter @Uniqly_io and check out the tutorial video below that walks through the POAP integration:
