The big event ahead is Ethereum’s Merge which EtherPOAP will take as a chance to launch its first NFT collections. Meanwhile, in honor of Ethereum’s inaugural backers, EtherPOAP will airdrop NFTs to 8,893 addresses of Ethereum’s genesis block in recognition of their contributions.

September has always been an important point in the history of Ethereum. On September 2, 2014, Ethereum officially completed its initial fundraising after 42 days, and Ethereum has thus become a very successful public chain after Bitcoin.

Ethereum’s success began with a 17-year-old genius of Russion descent. Vitalik grew up in the world of code comprised of 0 and 1. After studying Bitcoin, he also found his direction to strive for — a public chain that can host other applications. As it happens, he made the announcement at the 2014 Miami Bitcoin Conference, as close as the two are.

And those who pay for it are adventurers who truly believe in crypto spirit. In the face of the high crowdfunding price of 1BTC=2000ETH, 8,893 addresses finally invested, so that Ethereum has a chance to succeed afterwards.

Several years later, in mid-September, Ethereum 2.0 will start Merge. It’s more than four years after Vitalik first introduced the concept in 2017, and over eight years after Ethereum was first announced.

A pile of events constitute time stamps in the history of Ethereum, permanently existing in blocks of Ethereum. The current number of separate addresses of Ethereum has been more than 100 million which grow up from 8893 addresses. Without the initial insistence, we still can’t go out of the “enlightenment” era today.

Ethereum develops because of crowdfunding, which shows that altruism reaps significant rewards. EtherPOAP supported by HashKey Group and IPrinter decided to commemorate the history in the form of NFT to inspire newcomers.

Origin of EtherPOAP: Commemorate the key point of Ethereum

We are about to witness Ethereum’s transition from PoW to PoS and witness itself is worth commemorating.

On the threshold of Ethereum 2.0, IPrinterDAO made up of Web 3.0 ecosystem builders, supporters, and enthusiasts has been officially established. Its purpose is to issue a series of NFTs to commemorate great events in blockchain history.

Great things are done by mass effort. EtherPOAP originates from consensus and it’s gaining more attention of the mainstream, which is the reward for the development of blockchain itself. The proposal of the metaverse and other new concepts enables EtherPOAP to thrive with the development of era. EtherPOAP can build a better Web 3.0 world with other builders.

In its vision, the commemorative attribute of NFT and development of blockchain can be effectively combined. Key historical points should not just stay in the emotionless block, and in addition, they should be shared so that history can be seen, and we can be aware of where it comes from, and where it goes.

The big event ahead is Ethereum’s Merge which EtherPOAP will take as a chance to launch its first NFT collections. Meanwhile, in honor of Ethereum’s original backers, EtherPOAP will airdrop NFTs to 8,893 addresses of Ethereum’s genesis block in recognition of their contributions.

Their heroics will live forever on the Ethereum 2.0 mainnet in the form of NFT. When Merge is started, the commemorative NFT will be rolled out accordingly.

The competition of NFTs has come to the era of zero royalty where the recognition of the core group targeted by NFT collections is tested. For the purpose of giving back to community members to the greatest extent, EtherPOAP will not set other priority modes except for the 8,893 addresses of Ethereum’s genesis block. Therefore, to ensure fair and long-term development, all series of NFTs will adhere to the principle of Free Mint. In addition to the addresses airdropped to addresses of Ethereum’s genesis block, the remaining limited NFTs will be provided to whitelisted users.

The mechanism is designed to ensure fairness in NFT acquisition, and after Ethereum upgrade, all NFT holders will be eligible to participate in the giveaway commemorating Ethereum Merge and have a chance to share 100 ETH.

All is based on airdrops to 8,893 addresses of Ethereum’s genesis block, and their work will be retold in the future. After EtherPOAP’s release, the way to commemorate them will be NFTs.

Roadmap of EtherPOAP

As Ethereum Merge approaches, the countdown begins for the EtherPOAP’s airdrop, so the roadmap can be summarized as follows:

• Airdrop EtherPOAP commemorative badges, mainly targeting the original 8893 crowdfunding addresses of Ethereum’s genesis block

• The remaining NFT collections are available to whitelisted users, mainly to reward active users for contributing to EtherPOAP

• Enable the PASS feature of the NFT commemorative badge which will be used as a real pass for holders to participate in EtherPOAP’s subsequent events

Survival of a project depends on the activity level of its user community. In EtherPOAP’s design, the key feature is to keep up with the great historical moments in the blockchain world. When time goes by, and when blocks are seriously concealed by figures, it is up to the blockchain itself to commemorate them, shaping the collective memory of the Web 3.0 era.

In its development, the activity level in the community has become an important judging criterion for significant contributions. Only by maintaining a high degree of recognition within the community can it be promoted to the fields known to the wider population, opening up new development space. In its operation methodology, outward expansion is always a key part, including:

• Reach out to more mainstream media, such as Coindesk’s coverage featuring free casting.

• Community recognition is a priority. EtherPOAP’s core value is similar to Ethereum after PoS. Only consensus can create more consensus, thus subsequent development will focus on the community.

• Resonate with more key events about the blockchain. More ways to utilize NFT badges acquired will be accessible after participating in the Ethereum Merge. Holders of EtherPOAP NFTs will be able to take part in more activities in Ethereum and more metaverse scenarios.

The future of EtherPOAP

EtherPAOP was inspired by Ethereum’s Merge, and EtherPOAP’s core community members’ approval for the blockchain is more critical. Decentralization with minimalist staffing, supported by the efficient Builder, will skip the tedious promotion process and chase after Ethereum 2.0 directly.

The value of NFT itself in previous cases needs to be explored separately. There are few like EtherPOAP directly and strongly associated with the historical event, thus the uniqueness of the value will be gradually enhanced. In addition, airdrops to addresses of Ethereum’s genesis block and free mint mechanism encourage more people to create new historical activities, thus shaping the sense of overall engagement and building a strong consensus foundation for our Web 3.0 society.

All of it starts when EtherPOAP commemorates the Ethereum merge and airdrops NFTs to 8893 addresses.
