What is Proof of Attendance in Web3? Complete Guide
Learn what Proof of Attendance protocols are, how they preserve the memory of real-world crypto conferences, and how TON SBTs eliminate gas fees.
Definition:
Proof of Attendance is a cryptographic standard where attendees of physical or digital events receive an immutable, timestamped badge verifying their presence. It acts as a digital passport stamp for conferences, hackathons, and community meetups.
Proof of Attendance on the TON Blockchain
ONTON modernizes the legacy POAP model by minting attendance badges natively on the TON blockchain:
- Sub-Second Confirmation: Door check-in takes less than 2 seconds.
- Zero Gas for Attendees: The event organizer covers micro-gas fees or utilizes sponsor credits.
- Direct Mini App Integration: Attendees can view, share, and showcase their event passport directly inside their Telegram profile.
