In recent years, the world has witnessed an exponential rise in the adoption of decentralized finance, commonly known as DeFi. However, one of the major challenges in DeFi space has been the lack of adequate awareness and understanding among the masses. Orbis86, Web3 Startup, tackled this problem by onboarding over 55+ Web2 users to Web3 during TiEcon 2023 using the Sayl platform on Hedera. This unique initiative saw about 60 attendees participating in the POAP hunt and collecting POAPs for their favorite sessions.

The Sayl platform’s Inbox features also allowed organizations and communities to message POAP/NFT holders, making it an ideal tool for creating loyalty programs for businesses and communities. In this blog, we will delve deeper into the project and explore the key takeaways from this groundbreaking initiative.

POAPs at TiEcon 2023: The Web3 and Metaverse Track

At TiEcon 2023, attendees had the opportunity to collect various types of POAPs. The Proof of Attendance Protocol is a digital collectible that records an attendee’s presence at the event on the Hedera DLT Blockchain. Collecting a POAP every 24 hours proved that the attendees were present for all three days of the conference. In addition to that, there were exclusive POAPs available to the attendees of the Web3 & Metaverse Track held on May 5th.

The track attendees had the opportunity to collect a $900 NFT that unlocked lifetime access to HeyMint, join post-track VC and Mentor Round Table Discussions, win cool merchandise from Orbis86, and unlock more discounts in the future by joining the Orbis86 newsletter mailing list. With the POAP hunt organized by Orbis86, partners HeyMint, and Virtualness, attendees had an exciting experience of collecting POAPs while learning about the latest trends in technology.
