THE PEOPLE WANT THE POAPS

THIRD PARTY TIME

Builders are the unsung heroes of the POAP ecosystem. Check out the POAP Directory for more info on third-party integrations.

Winner of the 2022 ETHAmsterdam Hackathon, Nimi allows people to connect their wallet and create a customized Web3 profile. Nimi can be thought of as a Web3 version of Linktree, with additional functionality that aggregates Web3 social content. With the latest release, users can choose which POAPs they want to feature on their page, among other updates.

Custom themes are an additional Nimi feature, access to which can be POAP-gated. The first custom theme will be available for the upcoming Devcon in Bogota; only those with a special Devcon Bogota POAP will be able to use this theme on their Nimi profile!
