POAP Shutting Down After Five Years

The team behind the Proof of Attendance Protocol announced it is shutting down after operating for more than five years. The platform became a go to tool for digital memorabilia in the crypto space.

During its run, about 46,210 issuers used the protocol to create digital collectibles. Major names like Coinbase and American Express relied on the service to issue verifiable badges to their users.

Crypto fans are now looking back at how the project shaped digital event attendance and community building. Users should check their wallets and save any final memories before the official shutdown takes effect.
