I think a lot of people missed this part in @iz POAP announcement: “Running POAP has made it clear to us that digital collectibles are still an emerging medium. The tools that exist today often reflect the constraints of the systems they were built on, rather than the needs of the communities using them. If collectibles are going to become a durable part of how people organize events, recognize participation, and preserve shared moments, they will need better foundations. Our work going forward is focused on building that foundation. We are working on developing a standard for open collectibles, and a platform that offers a canonical implementation. The goal is to create a system that can sustainably support a truly permissionless model for creating collectibles for anything a community or issuer might want to commemorate. The current version of POAP has taught us a great deal about what such a system needs to support. Moving the existing product into maintenance mode gives us the space to pursue that work with full attention. We want to acknowledge the communities and issuers who have used POAP over the past few years. Many of the most interesting ideas about digital collectibles did not come from us but from the people experimenting with the tools. The patterns we observed in those experiments have shaped how we think about the next iteration of POAP. The current platform may eventually connect to the new system once it is ready, though that is still to be determined. For now, the priority is to build the next layer of infrastructure in a way that reflects what we have learned.” Interested to see where this goes. I think there’s still a lot of value in digital collectibles and I’m curious what the new system may provide. 💜

When I saw this, I first thought @poapxyz was shutting down but if I’m reading this correctly @iz, you’re working on an open version which I’d love to see! For those who didn’t know me back when, I used to cohost a weekly show called POAPathon, a community created experiment that also included (maybe still dies) support for artists creating POAPs and we also interviewed builders from around web3. It’s how I met @worthalter and got connected to /nouns. It appears this isn’t necessarily the end of POAP but merely a shift. But it also gives me an opportunity to revisit those memories and the folks I connected with there. 💜 My POAP collection is 781 strong and tells quite a story. Look forward to seeing what’s next. https://x.com/izgnzlz/status/2032181803155333626?s=46&t=N80rptBytKhSU-csz4Akrg https://collectors.poap.xyz/scan/thenounishprof.eth https://youtube.com/@poapathon?si=IvfdD3-XzZRrW-ui

"Perfect Ethereum alignment is a luxury real products cannot afford. To make POAP survive, we had to bend, erode, or outright ignore parts of the culture we inherited. Not because we stopped believing in the ideals, but because without compromise, there would be nothing left to protect" Patricio @worthalter spoke at our side event in Buenos Aires, and his talk is now online ✨ Link below 👇 https://youtu.be/X7z4ZklhHb0
