POAP to halt new service development

Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP) has announced that starting March 16, it will halt new services and only maintain its existing systems. POAP General Manager Isabel Gonzalez explained that the platform had limitations in scaling as an infrastructure beyond a specific niche market. She noted that while new onboarding will be discontinued, existing users and interfaces will be maintained. With the team halting further development, some operational disruptions may occur, Gonzalez added. POAP now plans to focus on developing an Open Collectibles Standard and building its next-generation infrastructure.
