Bringing celebrations onchain at FarCon 2024

POAP teamed up with the organizers of FarCon to help connect and celebrate the driving forces behind the Farcaster ecosystem: its users! Over the course of a multi-day event, we gave precious digital collectibles to a total of 616 unique collectors, helping the people of FarCon bring their experience onchain.

Curating experiences through POAP Collections

We collaborated with FarCon and side event organizers to create custom POAPs and a unique minting flow for all official events. Each POAP became part of the 2024 POAP Collection, allowing attendees to track their collections throughout the week, promoting participation and enthusiasm.

A Gamified Experience: Collect and Compete

Throughout the week, POAPs were issued using custom-branded NFC discs and monitors displaying QR codes.

We set up a leaderboard on Warpcast, Farcaster's main social platform, to highlight the top POAP collectors at FarCon. Attendees were encouraged to share their rankings, which fostered friendly competition and boosted engagement. The contest was a photo finish, with the top collector acquiring 17 of the 29 POAPs available on site.

Each POAP served not only as a unique memento but also as a ticket for the conference-ending raffle. By weighting the odds towards the most engaged, FarCon maximized the enthusiasm from the community onsite.

Extending experiences

FarCon 2024 successfully bridged the gap between virtual and real-world experiences, demonstrating the power of POAP in creating engaging and memorable events.

Being only the second edition of FarCon, the POAPs now serve as proof of their early involvement in the Farcaster community.
