Everything you need to participate in CryptoPOP events and earn POP.
What is POP?
POP stands for Proof of Participation. It's a small on-chain token on the TXC network that records you were present at a CryptoPOP event. POP are not an investment and have no resale market — they're a participation record, the same way a stamp in a passport records that you visited a country.
1. Sign up for an event
- Open the event link (you'll usually get it from the host, or find it on the CryptoPOP home page).
- Fill in your name, email, and mobile number. Add an Instagram or Telegram handle if you'd like.
- Optional — paste an existing TXC wallet address. If you leave it blank, we spin up a wallet for you and email you a recovery link.
- Submit. You'll instantly earn 10 POP as a signup bonus.
2. Claim POP at the event
- At the event, look for the CryptoPOP poster — it has a QR code.
- Scan it with your phone camera. You'll be sent to the claim page.
- Allow location access when prompted. Claims only work inside the event's geofence and within the event's time window — this stops people from claiming from home.
- Tap claim. POP lands in your wallet within seconds.
3. Refer friends
After you sign up you get a personal referral link. Every friend who signs up through your link earns you bonus POP, set per-event by the host. Share it on socials or in your group chat.
4. Your wallet
- My POP — see your current balance and full history of claims and referrals.
- My Pass — your event pass and the POP you earned at each event.
- Recover wallet — if you signed up without your own TXC address, this is where you can export the wallet we created for you. Keep the recovery phrase somewhere safe; we can't recover it for you.
Troubleshooting
- "Out of range" when claiming — you're outside the event's geofence. Move closer to the venue and try again.
- "Event hasn't started" — the QR poster has a short pre-event window. If it's not open yet, wait until start time.
- Didn't get a confirmation email — check spam. If it's not there, reach out to the host or email hello@cryptopop.org.
