About tokengating
Tokengating lets merchants offer eligible token holders exclusive access to products and discounts. For example, a merchant can give customers who hold their token a 25%-off discount. Customers can unlock the discount by connecting their wallet to prove that they own the token. Merchants can use tokengating to build loyalty and reward mechanisms for their communities and customers.
