# Collabland

Automated process for verifying and managing community membership based on token ownership. This includes:

* Initial verification to confirm that prospective members possess the required token(s) to join and participate in a community.
* Routine checks to ensure that members continue to meet the community's requirements.

### Concept:

Collab.Land's bot functionality is built around the concept of Token-Gating. This refers to the ability to create roles on social platforms such as Discord and Telegram, that are only accessible to users who meet certain token-related criteria.

At the heart of this concept are Token Gating Rules (TGRs). These are the rules that determine which roles a user will be assigned based on the token-related criteria defined by the community admin. For example, a TGR may grant access to a "VIP" role for users who hold a certain number of tokens.
