THIRD PARTY TIME
Builders are the unsung heroes of the POAP ecosystem. Check out the POAP Directory for more info on third-party integrations.
This week's builder highlights:
- Welook had a wildly successful ETHLatam, which included hundreds of "You've Met Me" POAPs created using a customizable Welook template. Anyone who held the Welook POAP could upload their photo to the corresponding POAP Moments page on Welook's platform, and 600+ people did.
The "Criptodex" game, created by the educational community Solow, also used the Welook platform to create and exchange POAPs at ETHLatam. The game was a big hit; it is analogous to Pokémon Go except instead of Pokémon users catch "Criptomons," AKA crypto-related projects or organizations (and their affiliated POAPs, of course).
Read Welook's full recap on their first-ever blog post!
Look what happened at Welook during the @ETHLatam week 🧵
