THIS WEEK IN POAP HISTORY

A new addition for this edition, as we reflect back on the collective human experience captured in POAPs. If you shared these memories, help preserve history by attaching POAP Moments to the Drops below; nostalgia is good for the heart.

• At EthCC 5 in 2022, Vitalik Buterin discussed the important role POAP could play in reputation and identity systems, including an idea for distributing tickets to Devcon in a more fair way (no surprise, it’s happening this year).
• At EthCC 6 in 2023, the Farcaster community dropped their first EthCC POAP, and EthCC 6 POAP holders received an early invite to Warpcast. The Farcaster POAP Collection has since ballooned to nearly 100 Drops, as Farcasters around the world build community and connect with POAPs:

• The Edmonton Ethereum community dropped their first POAP at their first meetup, and they continue dropping POAPs today.
• In the sports world of 2022, Manchester City celebrated their Premier League title with a POAP and The Players Tribune and Derek Jeter dropped a POAP at a party in Los Angeles.
• Weddings in Tegucigalpa and Paris were commemorated with POAPs — which means it’s time for a few lovebirds to create anniversary POAPs.
