What Is A POAP? | Traders Paradise 2024

What is a POAP?

Think of a POAP as a digital badge (NFT) that verifies your attendance at a special event. It's like a virtual ticket stub you can hold onto forever, thanks to blockchain technology.

Claiming Your "Traders Paradise 2024" POAP

Those who are attending our Traders Paradise Event at the end of the month in Delray Beach, FL will all be receiving a POAP for the event!! I will be sending you all a unique mint link via discord DM. This link allows you to claim your POAP directly. Here's how to do it:

1. Click the mint link in the dm you received
2. You may be prompted to create a POAP account (optional). This account allows you to manage your POAP collection in one place. However, creating an account is not necessary to claim your POAP. You could also download the POAP app.

3. Connecting Your MetaMask Wallet

To claim your POAP and store it securely, you'll need a crypto wallet compatible with the Ethereum blockchain. A popular option is MetaMask, a browser extension wallet.

1. Click "Connect Wallet" on the POAP claim page.
2. Select "MetaMask" from the available wallet options.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions from MetaMask to connect your wallet.

Once your wallet is connected, claiming your POAP is simple:

1. Review the details of the "Traders Paradise 2024" POAP on the claim page.
2. Click the button that says "Claim" or "Mint" (exact wording may vary).
3. MetaMask will prompt you to confirm the transaction. This typically involves a small gas fee to process the claim on the blockchain network. Review the fee and click "Confirm" to proceed.

Congratulations! Your "Traders Paradise 2024" POAP should now be in your MetaMask wallet.

You can view your POAP collection within the MetaMask wallet or through platforms like POAP Gallery.

Claiming with Email (No Wallet Needed):

1. Click the mint link in the email you received.
2. You may be directed to a POAP website. Here you'll see the details of the "Traders Paradise 2024" POAP.
3. Look for an option to "Reserve with Email" or similar wording. This allows you to claim the POAP without connecting a wallet.
4. Enter your email address in the designated field.
5. Click "Reserve" or "Claim" (exact wording may vary). You'll receive a confirmation email that your POAP has been reserved.

Important Note: While reserving with email allows you to claim the POAP initially, it doesn't store it securely on the blockchain. To permanently own and manage your POAP in the future, you'll need to connect a crypto wallet at some point

Owning a POAP is more than just a digital memento. It is an NFT, meaning down the line it could (has the ability to) unlock access to future events or exclusive content from Pennybois Stock Alerts. I'm not saying that's what we are going to do (I'm also no denying it), I'm just saying that's one of the beautiful things about smart contracts and the blockchain!!

We hope this blog post helps you claim and enjoy your "Traders Paradise 2024" POAP, and understand how POAPs work!
