POAPS are here to stay!
In the last edition of VFF, we introduced POAPS, a special crypto-badges that stand the test of time and will live inside crypto-wallets till the end of the internet. It has become a new standard in our event, making your life much nicer, in the new, time-eating digital age, leaving the WEB2 behind and running towards higher numbers of web! So take a step further and prepare yourselves for receiving!
So for start, follow these steps and get an Ethereum wallet: A POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol)is a digital collectible (token), known as Non Fungible Tokens (NFT). POAP badges have certain features that when grouped together with other POAP tokens create a collection. That collection can only belong to a particular human. It is a new way of keeping a reliable record of life experiences. A POAP collection is hence a digital representation of a human individual that doesn’t rely on any typical personal identifiable information (PII) like names, gender, nationality much less passport numbers. More at Poap website (To view your POAPs on your device, download the PAOP wallet). To collect it, you will need an Ethereum wallet. If you are new to crypto, you can start by creating a wallet with MetaMask.
MetaMask requires that you store your seed phrase in a safe place. It is the only way to recover your holdings should your device crash or your browser reset. We recommend you to write it down. The most common method is to write your 12-word phrase on a piece of paper and store it safely in a place where only you have access. Note: if you lose your seed phrase, MetaMask can’t help you recover your wallet. Never give your seed phrase or your private key(s) to anyone or any site, unless you want them to have full control over your funds. (MetaMask stores the seed phrase, passwords, and private keys in an encrypted format locally on the device where it’s installed, which still makes such wallet vulnerable to possible attacks).
