THIRD PARTY TIME

🎉
Kazm, the Web3-powered loyalty platform, integrates POAPs!

The mission of Kazm is to cultivate engaged communities through gamified membership, shared experiences, and meaningful recognition for contributions. Communities can use Kazm's no-code platform to reward active members with customized cross-platform quests and experiences, including rewards for holding certain POAPs.

From the Kazm team: "We've always been huge fans of POAP so we jumped at the chance to bring these powerful collectibles into our product. It's particularly exciting to think of a community with a history of POAPs incorporating those experiences into a program that identifies and rewards their biggest fans. We're also excited to offer existing Kazm communities a new tool for driving and recognizing participation."

In a few simple steps, communities can use Kazm to reward POAP holders.
