Exclusive Telegram 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 Telegram 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 Telegram group

• 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 using your dashboard to filter various percentage groups of holders.

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.
