This week we enjoyed the nuances of the App Store approval flow, while juggling priorities and discussing timestamps, a complex and controversial subject even in the age of AGI. Snip snap snip snap.

Leo is back baby! A new update for POAP Home is dropping that allows users to mint token gated drops by paying a small fee. Exciting! Our problems with Banana Link seem to be getting smaller as more of the team gets involved.

They say time flies when you're having fun. This POAP commemorates a year of working at POAP, Inc flying by. Thank you to each and every one of you!

Christmas edition! Tomy and Reobin had a bet on the outcome of a deployment in the new Console BFF service. Luckily for the team, the deployment went smoothly without errors. Tomy lost the bet and was in charge of today's POAP. The team was divided in this edition: - Some of them were investigating an issue caused by a hard fork in Gnosis. - Part of the team remained in the weekly call to discuss today's issues. A couple of missing members are enjoying their deserved holiday break. Probably feeling cozy in their homes, with snow outside. A very different situation from the typical Argentinian christmas which usually involves asados, swim suits and the usual relative who has had too much cider.

The person who collected this POAP had the pleasure of meeting me in 2025.

This week, the team is fully embracing the holiday spirit with our own take on 2025 Wrapped. Slack messages and PRs are wrapping up nicely too—numbers are going up, some in very encouraging ways, others… raising a few eyebrows (looking at you, backend API calls 👀📈). We also addressed one of our team’s biggest concerns: distinguishing between the Francos (Franco B → Franco A, Franco B → Franco B?) One thing we can all agree on though: the wheel is rigged. Joyeuse fêtes!
