POAP: Starting March 16th, the platform will enter maintenance mode and will no longer be actively developed.
PANews reported on March 13th that the digital badge platform POAP officially announced that due to limited growth and failure to expand into a wider infrastructure, POAP has decided to transition its existing platform to maintenance mode starting March 16, 2026. At that time, new issuers will no longer be able to access the issuing interface, while existing issuers can continue to use existing tools. Existing POAP accounts will remain intact, the collector interface will be unaffected, and the API and existing integrations will continue to function. However, the platform will no longer be actively developed, and some operations may slow down due to reduced resources.
POAP stated that operating the platform made them realize that digital collectibles are still an emerging medium, and existing tools often reflect the constraints of their built systems rather than the needs of the community. Future work will focus on developing open collectible standards and providing platforms that implement these standards to sustainably support truly permissionless collectible creation models.
In January 2022, it was reported that the Ethereum NFT badge application POAP had completed a $10 million funding round .
