When POPG was launched in July 2024, we knew exactly what we were aiming for: a new and improved way for fans to engage with their favorite forms of entertainment — one that's fair, fun, and puts their interests first.

From this idea, the term "POPG fan" and our motto "Built by Fans for Fans" were born, inspired by the many people around the world who share our passion and vision for the future of entertainment.

The concept of one entertainment utility token that could be used across three distinct platforms — POP.VIP, POP.GAME, and POP.LIVE — brought web3 into the mix, adding the exciting ingredient that makes POPG a living, shared experience between a global community of entertainment fans.

Early Momentum and the First Big Milestones

Our $POPG presale served as a powerful kickoff, creating early excitement and laying the foundation for what was to come. Alongside it, our OG community was already actively participating, getting rewarded through the groundbreaking 1 Million $POPG Giveaway Campaign — a first taste of what "fan-first" truly means in action.

The real utility of $POPG officially began on 11.11.2024, with the launch of POP.VIP. From that moment, $POPG holders could enjoy tangible benefits and rewards, experiencing firsthand the value of being part of something built around them.

Behind the scenes, our team worked tirelessly, always prioritizing transparency, quality, and reliability. Being certified by CertiK, one of the most respected evaluators in the web3 space, was a milestone that filled us with pride. In many key aspects — including security, community engagement, and project fundamentals — POPG remains ranked among the top 10% of projects analyzed by CertiK.

Soon after, $POPG made its debut on launchpads like KDG and Gempad, paving the way for broader exposure. This momentum continued with POPG's listing on LBank, the first centralized exchange of many yet to come. Expanding our reach meant welcoming new fans from across the globe — one of the many benefits of true web3 decentralization.

Growing Together: Partnerships, Stars, and Community Power

POPG's growth has always been about collaboration. In the months following launch, we partnered with numerous communities that shared our vision, including well-known ones like Satoshi Club. Our team was welcomed into several AMAs, where the positive feedback and genuine curiosity about POPG became key drivers of our ongoing momentum.

But POPG's impact extends beyond web3 spaces. Artists, creators, and entertainment lovers from different segments have also joined the movement. The POPG Stars initiative became a beacon for this expansion, connecting POPG with talents who understand the power of a fan-first approach to entertainment.

Of course, our own community remains the true heart of POPG. Fans have been involved in every stage of the journey — from online discussions and offline meetups to participating in activities and influencing key decisions about the project's future. Today, that involvement continues to grow as the community plays an active role in shaping POP.GAME, the next big launch on our roadmap.

Looking Ahead: The Vision Grows Stronger

POPG has already achieved remarkable milestones, but the real excitement lies ahead. With POP.VIP live and thriving, POP.GAME and POP.LIVE are on the horizon, ready to further empower fans and create experiences that truly belong to them.

Our commitment remains the same: to build an entertainment ecosystem where the fans are not just viewers — they are part of the story.

The journey is far from over.

It's only getting bigger, stronger, and even more connected.
