Discord

Exclusive Discord Video and Text Chats

Time to complete : 10-20 minutes (est)

Gated Chat Basics:

tldr; we are assigning roles based on wallet holdings and channels are gated by these roles.

You will interface with a dashboard or bot where you will set the gate parameters. You will connect your Discord to the bot or dashboard for authentication. Some allow you to set “and” permissions, meaning a person must hold X NFT and 3000 CREA tokens. Some allow for “or” permissions. Gated channels can be text or voice.

What you will need

• A Discord Server

• Roles for your token community

• Token contract addresses and token IDs for NFTs

• A bot for gating

Why?

Create private chats that require a token balance to join. These chats can be for your biggest holders, most involved community members, or your whole token crew. Share private videos, content, and future plans.

Gate Requirement Recommendations:

Having a general requirement to view all or most channels can help with eliminating bot accounts and bad actors while creating exclusivity for your whole community. Setting a second requirement and role can create more exclusivity for your biggest holders. We recommend determining exclusivity with 1 years worth of rewards, basing exclusivity on an annualized “reward size”. For example:

Ranking	Percentile	Reward Size	Reward Level
Top 10%	90th	XL	Exclusive
Top 25%	75th	L	VIP
Top 50%	50th	M	Preferred
Top 75%	25th	S	Select
Top 90%	10th	XS	General Admission

*Err on the side of having more people able to join and create exclusivity as needed.

Creating Roles and Getting Started

In Discord server settings create a role called ‘fam’; this role could be assigned through a bot for holding 5 tokens. Anyone who follows on a social media can claim tokens to join general channels. Then create a role called ‘cryptowizard’ or something relevant to your community; this role can represent people who have 10,400 Tokens or more once we set the bot. Let’s pick our bot and follow the setup instructions.

Create Chat and Set Permissions

1. Open Discord and navigate to your server

2. Left click in the left panel and create a new category

   • Public means people who cant get in a chat can at lease see the category

3. Name the category something exclusive to your community

4. Click the + sign next to the Category name and create a New Channel

5. Set it to private

   • Hover over the channel name and click the gear

   • Click Permissions and set the channel to private

6. Under ‘Advanced Permissions’ you can add ‘cryptowizard’

   • now this role will be able to interact with the channel and others will not

Putting it all together

Members will connect their wallets in the #collab-join channel. If they hold 10,400 of our token, the bot will give them the cryptowizard role. If they hold 5 tokens the bot will give them the fam role. Now they can join our private chats or voice channels.

How to Pick a Bot:

Collabland is an easy to implement bot, that can work with additional plugins for more features, perfect as you grow. Guild is an in depth community building tool that can can aid in POAP distribution. Vulcan works alongside PREMINT and authenticates without wallet connection, via Opensea accounts. Personal preference, additional integrations, and how much detail and control you need will guide you in your decision.
