# Commercial Use Policy

The purpose of a drop is important, and the POAP Curation Body applies different standards to precious digital collectibles created for personal use and those minted for commercial use. POAP Inc subsidizes all POAPs intended for personal use. At the discretion of the POAP Curation Body, POAPs intended for commercial use may be charged a fee.

While smaller and IRL drops categorized as commercial use will continue to be subsidized, larger and/or online commercial drops will require payment. 

A POAP that enriches the collector’s life and aligns with personal/historical interests is typically associated with personal use. On the other hand, a POAP that promotes brand awareness or primarily serves the issuer’s interests, or is transactional in nature, is typically associated with commercial use.

The following guidelines can help determine whether your drop falls under personal or commercial use:
