Intro

With Venly’s integration for Sitemanager, you can now token-gate content on your website to restrict access based on the NFTs an end-user holds in their wallet. This feature is designed to help you enhance user engagement, offer exclusive content, and create unique experiences by personalizing visibility based on NFT ownership.

What is Token Gating?

Token gating is a method that restricts or allows access to content based on the NFTs an end-user holds in their digital wallet. The NFT (non-fungible token) serves as a digital key that allows access or restricts access to specific content on the website.

Using token gating, you can make specific content available only to users that hold NFTs from a specific NFT collection, helping create gated communities or offering exclusive resources/content to the NFT holders.

How Token Gating Works in Sitemanager

You can configure logic for buttons, blocks, and entire pages. The logics work at the NFT collection level only, meaning that content will be shown or hidden based on if a user has an NFTz

The gating logic will determine if content should be visible or hidden based on the NFTs present in the end user’s wallet. The logic is applied based on an NFT collection, meaning it will check for NFTs in user's wallet based on the configured NFT collection.

Customize Visibility Settings

In each setting (buttons, block, or page), you can choose to make content visible or hidden based on a specific NFT collection.

Visible: If the end-user holds NFT(s) from a specific NFT collection, the content will appear as usual.
Hidden: If the end-user lacks NFT(s) from a specific NFT collection, the content will be invisible.

Here’s a breakdown of how you can use token gating for different content types:

1. Button-Based Gating: Configure if you want to show or hide individual buttons.
2. Block-Based Gating: Limit access to larger sections within a page, such as a pricing table, exclusive offers, or detailed tutorials. Choose to show or hide sections based on the NFTs an end user holds.
3. Page-Based Gating: Restrict access to entire pages, making them accessible only to specific NFT holders. This can be ideal for premium content, gated communities, or exclusive event pages.

Token Gating Use Cases

Exclusive Membership Content: Offer premium content or insider updates to NFT holders, enhancing user loyalty.

Event or Product Launch Access: Allow specific users to access event pages or early product releases by gating content based on NFT ownership.

Community Perks: Provide additional benefits or sections exclusively for community members holding specific NFTs, helping to foster a sense of belonging.
