Problem: Token Gating Without Risk

Token gating is an essential tool for Web3 projects, offering exclusive perks to token holders, such as private content, event access, and Discord channels. However, the process often requires users to connect their crypto wallets to verify ownership. This introduces significant security risks, including potential wallet compromise, theft, or unauthorised access.

Additionally, verifiers face challenges in creating flexible token gating policies that work seamlessly across online platforms, in-person events, and Discord servers. The lack of secure, user-friendly, and versatile solutions hinders the ability of Web3 projects to deliver value confidently.

Web3Gate addresses these challenges by providing the safest token gating solution, enabling secure verification of token ownership without requiring users to connect their crypto wallets.

The Web3Gate Solution

Web3Gate revolutionises token gating by offering a secure, flexible, and user-centric platform that protects token holders and empowers verifiers.

How Web3Gate Works for Users

  1. Secure Wallet Ownership Validation
    • Users create an account with their email and log in using an OTP, removing the need for passwords.
    • Instead of connecting their wallets, users paste a unique code into their NFT marketplace profile to validate ownership. This eliminates direct wallet connections, reducing the risk of theft.
  2. Verifiable Credentials
    • Once validated, Web3Gate generates a verifiable credential linked to the user’s account.
    • Users can prove token ownership securely via the Web3Gate app or browser extension without keeping their wallets connected.
  3. User-Friendly Experience
    • The process is simple, secure, and eliminates the need for users to remember passwords or expose their crypto wallets.

How Web3Gate Works for Verifiers

Web3Gate provides robust and customisable token gating policies to suit various applications:

  1. Flexible Token Gating Policies
    • Create gating rules for specific tokens, combinations of tokens, or duration of ownership.
    • Examples include:
      • Tiered Access: Require specific NFTs or combinations for different access levels.
      • Duration-Based Access: Set minimum holding periods for eligibility.
      • Token ID-Based Rules: Grant access to holders of specific token ID ranges.
  2. Applications Across Platforms
    • Offline Gating: Verifiers use the Web3Gate Verifier App to validate participants’ QR codes at live events.
    • Online Gating: Implement policies on websites with simple code integration, automating the process entirely.
    • Discord Server Gating: Invite the Web3Gate Discord bot to enforce token gating seamlessly within servers.

Real-Life Example: Solving Token Gating Challenges

 The Challenge

An NFT project sought to implement token gating for their community Discord, live events, and exclusive online content. However, they faced issues:

  • Token holders hesitated to connect wallets due to security risks.
  • Existing solutions couldn’t handle complex gating policies like tiered or duration-based access.
  • Manual verification processes slowed down their operations.

The Web3Gate Solution

By integrating Web3Gate, the project achieved:

  • Secure Wallet Validation: Token holders verified ownership without directly connecting wallets, building trust among users.
  • Automated Discord Gating: The Web3Gate bot enforced access rules, ensuring only eligible members accessed restricted channels.
  • Streamlined Event Access: At in-person events, the Verifier App enabled fast QR code scans, validating attendees effortlessly.
  • Advanced Gating Rules: The project implemented tiered access based on token combinations and durations, creating a more rewarding experience for their community.
