POAP Enters Maintenance Mode: No New Issuers After March 16, Team Eyes Next-Gen Protocol

POAP is winding down—but not dying. Co-founder Isabel announced that the on-chain badge protocol will shift to maintenance mode starting March 16. New issuers will lose access to the creator interface, though existing ones can still use current tools. Already-minted POAPs stay safe. Collector side? Unaffected. APIs and integrations keep running. But active development stops, and things may slow as resources shrink.

The team is already looking ahead: they're planning a new, more open, permissionless standard for digital collectibles. POAP may eventually live on inside that system. For now, it's a pause, not an end.
