GitPOAP is a contributor recognition platform that integrates POAP issuance into GitHub, bridging the space between existing off-chain contribution platforms such as GitHub and the on-chain world of DAOs & decentralized identity. It provides software projects - and eventually many more types of organizations - with a novel way of recognizing and nurturing their communities. Contributors can also showcase a socially-sourced, immutable record of their work, build networks, and develop a Web3 representation of their identity. GitPOAP will use this foundation to power an ecosystem of reputation-based applications.
