🏢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.
