Token-Gating
Restricting access based on token ownership
What is Token-Gating?
Restricting access to content, channels, or experiences based on ownership of a specific token or NFT. A powerful community and monetization tool, holders get exclusive access, creating demand for the token while rewarding loyalty. Used in Discord roles, gated content platforms, and event access.
