AROUND POAP
- You can now view and link POAP art in extra small, small, medium, large, and extra large file sizes, in addition to the original size.
- The oft-challenging, oft-discussed "numbers game" security challenge for minting POAPs via Secrets on the mobile app can now be disabled with approval from the POAP Curation Body.
COOL DROPS
- A day early, the SEC incorrectly tweeted that Bitcoin ETFs were approved. The POAP community jumped on the chance to commemorate the moment with a Gary Gensler Pepe POAP, which ~350 people minted at the price of 0.01 ETH. The POAP was a big hit on social and people were especially impressed with the smooth user experience. Holders of this POAP are eligible to win a nice prize via the recently redesigned POAP Fun raffling platform.
