POA Official Announcements

2021-11-04 21:22:02 Merger Announcement: A new phase for POA Network has arrived as it joins the xDai ecosystem.

POA holders can now swap their POA for STAKE on xDai. The POA for STAKE exchange is available at a rate of 466.6163443 POA per 1 STAKE. This price was derived using a TWAP (Time-weighted Average Price) for the both tokens between October 21, 2021 and November 3, 2021.

This initiative allows POA token holders to bridge POA to the xDai chain, where it is converted into wrapped POA (WPOA).
WPOA can then be swapped for STAKE.
Swapping is available now and can be completed over the next 6 months.

2020-05-20 22:26:17 POA Mania is now optimized for mobile!

We’ve created a tutorial using Trust Wallet which shows how easy it is to play from a mobile device.

https://www.poa.network/for-users/poa-mania/poa-mania-on-trustwallet

If you are a POA token holder, give it a try! Winners receive a portion of POA emissions, and if you don’t win you also don’t lose any POA.

This is not a new emission of any kind, but a way of redistributing emissions to token holders. You can participate in a pseudo-staking environment to receive a portion of these emissions but with no-risk and an opportunity to win daily POA as well as a growing jackpot!
