# What is POAP? Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP) is a blockchain-based system designed to provide verifiable proof that an individual has attended an event, participated in an activity, or reached a milestone. It is a novel way to commemorate and recognize user engagement and participation through the issuance of unique, non-transferable digital badges. ### **Overview** POAP tokens are minted on the blockchain and given to attendees of both virtual and real-world events. These tokens serve as digital mementos, offering a secure and tamper-proof way to verify and showcase an individual’s participation. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
