# Token Gating

{% hint style="warning" %}
**We are migrating to a new version of the website builder with more templates and features. Once the new website builder is ready, it will be back online.**
{% endhint %}

### 🔐 Access Exclusive Content With Your NFT

With token gating, you can unlock premium, members-only content just by holding a specific **NFT** in your wallet — no passwords or subscriptions needed.

#### 🎯 What Is Token Gating?

**Token gating** means controlling access to content based on ownership of a digital asset, such as an NFT. If your wallet holds the required NFT, you get instant access.\
\
It’s used for:

* 👉 Exclusive blog articles or guides
* 🎥 Private videos or live streams
* 🎁 Airdrops, discounts, or access perks
* 🎮 In-game content or special features
* 💬 Member-only Discord or chat areas

\
🧠 How It Works

1. **Connect your wallet** (like MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)
2. Our system checks if you hold the required NFT
3. If yes ✅ → content unlocks instantly\
   If no ❌ → access is denied (with a prompt to buy or mint)

#### 🔒 Why This Matters

Token gating turns your NFT into more than just a digital image — it becomes a **key to exclusive experiences**, and verifies membership securely.

### 🌏 1. Create an NFT Website

First Create your NFT Website if you already have created an NFT Website you can skip this step.

### Connect your Smart Contract address

1. Add the Contract Address
2. Select Network
3. Add or connect ABI

And press `💾`` `**`Save Website`** to save the selected Smart Contract.\
