Token Gating
Description
"In token gating, users must purchase, earn, or receive a specific type or number of tokens, which allows them to access services, content, or privileges. This can drive token demand, allowing the service provider and community of token holders to capture value through increased prices. As a result, access tokens can serve as a simple mechanism to align the interests of users or customers with service providers or creators.
First popularized through NFT-based communities in 2021, token gating has been used to access exclusive webpages, newsletters, chat groups, online and real-life events, and even investment opportunities. Tools for token gating include Charmverse, Coinvise, Collab.Land, Fileverse, Guild, MintGate, tokenproof, Party, and Unlock."
