THIRD PARTY TIME

Reveal announced the beta launch (tweet) of itsWeb3 social network where users can connect their wallets, follow each other, and see a feed of on-chain activity, including POAPs.

Juan Barrero, founder of Reveal, had this to say: "POAPs have become the go-to receipts of attendance, and everyone loves them. Reveal makes it easier to share your POAPs with others."

In addition to POAPs, Reveal displays NFTs, DAO votes, tokens, Mirror articles, and more. Users also receive Web3 recommendations based on the users they follow.
