This POAP commemorates the June 2025 MN Blockchain Spotlight Meetup [1], held at Frankie’s Pizza [2] and featuring a special session titled “Creating Community with POAP.” Hosted by Jamie Thingelstad [3], this talk explored how POAPs can be used to foster community engagement and highlighted the 612 POAP Challenge [4] as a real-world example of using digital collectibles for connection and exploration. Attendees of this event came together to share ideas at the intersection of blockchain and community building while enjoying great conversation—and pizza—with fellow technologists and enthusiasts.
