We’re thrilled to announce that POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol) is now live on Mantle Network, enabling projects and communities within Mantle Ecosystem to create on-chain memorabilia that commemorate experiences, events, and milestones.

This integration marks a new step forward in Mantle Network’s expansion in social and community-driven applications, making it easier for users to engage, connect, and celebrate meaningful moments with digital collectibles.

Why POAP? More Than Just a Collectible

POAPs are more than digital collectibles. They act as key building blocks for Web3 communities. Each POAP is a unique, verifiable token that signifies participation in an event. Beyond serving as digital bookmarks, they can also unlock rewards and gated access to community functions, enhancing engagement and creating a more immersive community experience.

By integrating POAP, Mantle Network is:

• Enhancing Community Engagement: Projects and communities within Mantle Ecosystem can now commemorate events and other special moments with POAPs.
• Expanding Social Applications: Mantle Network is broadening its product offerings within the Social ecosystem, continuing to build a diverse and dynamic landscape.
• Increasing Access to User Benefits: POAPs can serve as gateways to exclusive experiences, perks, and rewards, allowing users to access premium content and other privileges in a seamless way.

"We’re really excited to bring POAP to Mantle Network. It’s more than just a way to collect memories. It's a tool that helps communities feel more connected and engaged. Whether it’s commemorating key moments, unlocking rewards, or creating new interactive experiences, POAPs add a whole new layer to how users can participate in the ecosystem. We can’t wait to see how projects and communities make the most of this integration." said Hanna Hadik, Culture & Social BD at Mantle Network.

Lucas Verra, POAP Studio Co founder adds: “It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with the Mantle Network team. It gave me a firsthand look at how they make this technology culturally relevant, fun, accessible, and inclusive while developing new use cases. I look forward to working with them again on even bigger and bolder projects with an even greater scope and reach.”

ETHDenver Passport: A New Way to Engage

One of the first implementations of POAP on Mantle Network took place at ETHDenver, where Mantle introduced its Passport experience. Throughout the week, attendees collected POAPs at Mantle-hosted events and earned rewards based on their engagement. This activation demonstrated how POAPs can be gamified, integrated with loyalty programs, and used to onboard users in a seamless way.

The Mantle Passport experience at ETHDenver showcased the potential of POAPs in bridging on-chain and real-world interactions. Here are some key takeaways:

• There is strong demand for gamified experiences that make events more interactive, social, and memorable.
• Merging on-chain and in-person participation helps create deeper engagement and strengthens community bonds, especially when paired with a seamless user experience.
• Activations like Mantle Passport provide valuable on-chain data and insights, helping shape future initiatives and community-driven campaigns.

Prizes & Rewards at ETHDenver

As part of the Mantle Passport experience at ETHDenver, attendees had the chance to win exclusive prizes and rewards. Here’s what was up for grabs:

• Boys NFT Raffle Winners: Ten lucky participants won a Boys NFT through our raffle.
• Limited-Edition Boys & Frens Merch: Attendees at Boys & Frens Night received exclusive event merch, including beanies, stickers, and lip balm, keeping them warm and equipped for the Denver weather.
• Exclusive Community Access: Participants joined our ETHDenver Telegram group, where they connected with the Mantle team and fellow attendees, shared event highlights, and explored the best spots in Denver.

These rewards were just one way we made the ETHDenver experience more interactive, social, and rewarding for the Mantle community.
