Status: not built. This page describes how something is intended to work, not a feature you can use today. Read it as a design note. Anything that launches is announced on What's New first.
- NFT Ownership: To gain access to a private Discord channel, you would need to own a specific NFT associated with that community. These NFTs are typically created and distributed by the community organizers or creators.
- Verification Process: The Discord server administrators or bots are set up to recognize the ownership of certain NFTs as proof of eligibility for accessing private channels. The NFTs are typically minted on a blockchain, such as Ethereum or Flow, and have a unique identifier.
- Whitelisting NFTs: The server administrators maintain a whitelist that contains the addresses or unique identifiers of the NFTs that grant access to the private channels. When someone attempts to join the private Discord channel, their ownership of the corresponding NFT is verified against this whitelist.
- Access Grant: If the NFT ownership is confirmed, the individual is granted access to the private Discord channel. They can then engage in discussions, view exclusive content, participate in community events, and interact with other members who also hold the required NFT.
- Revoking Access: In case an NFT is transferred to another wallet or if ownership is lost, the access to the private Discord channel can be revoked. The whitelist is updated accordingly, ensuring that only current NFT holders can maintain access to the exclusive community content.
By utilizing NFT ownership as a means of verification, private Discord channels provide a controlled and exclusive space for NFT holders to connect, share insights, and engage in discussions related to the published NFTs. This approach fosters a sense of community and provides additional value to NFT ownership beyond the inherent digital asset itself.
