Guidelines for Secrets in X spaces

-- 2 minute read

X Spaces is a popular platform for hosting virtual events where POAPs can be distributed. However, it is essential to follow some guidelines to ensure a seamless and secure minting experience for collectors and to prevent illegitimate collectors from obtaining the POAP.

💡Note: Keep in mind that your audience will only be able to mint their POAP by inputting a Secret into the POAP Home app available on iOS/Android. (The curation body closely monitors drops using the secret distribution method).
💡Note: An Issuer logged into POAP Drops can generate a QR code linking to the POAP Home app

Here are some guidelines that should be followed when distributing POAPs for X Spaces:

1. Before you share the POAP Secret, let collectors know that they should download the POAP mobile app. This will save time and ensure that they have the app ready to mint the POAP.
2. Issuers should set a time limit for minting the POAP. Anything from 3 to 5 minutes is appropriate. A maximum 15-minute window provides enough time for collectors to input the Secret and mint the POAP while preventing illegitimate collectors from obtaining the POAP.
3. Say the Secret near the end of the X Space. This helps ensure that only those who attended the entire event will be able to mint the POAP.
4. Don’t publish the Secret in written format on social media: This helps prevent illegitimate collectors from obtaining the POAP.
