TrendsVC PRO 0082 – Token Gated Communities

Why It Matters

Token-gated communities align incentives.
 Problem

Traditional communities suffer from noise, spam and other extractive behaviors.
 Solution

Token-gated communities build deep alignment between members.
Members are incentivized to protect and add value.

Forefront pays writers with $FF.

Token-gated communities will collect and invest together.

The Flamingo DAO portfolio reached $1B.

PartyBid helps groups bid on NFTs.

Metaverse spaces will be token-gated. See Worldwide Webb, The Portal and Metroverse.

Non-transferrable (Soulbound) NFTs will gain traction. Thirdweb has 145,000 NFT owners. 0 NFTs have been sold. In-person events will be token-gated. FWB built Gatekeeper to do this.

Calendar access will be token-gated.

Vajresh opened his calendar to $RLY token holders.

Huddle pitches itself as Zoom for Web3.
 Opportunities

Allow members to earn tokens. This acts as proof of work.

Subreddits reward high-quality contributions. See MOON and BRICK.

FWB lets members earn tokens by hosting events.

Bankless pays BANK for completing bounties.

Offer fiat and token-gated access. Some communities are Web 2.5.

MetaTrends is an NFT but we also accept fiat.

Create and curate content as a community.

JokeDAO holds joke races and allows token holders to vote.

 Risks

Financial Accessibility • As tokens grow in value, it becomes expensive to join. The floor price for PROOF access is $80,000+ at the moment.

Technical Accessibility • We’re in the early adopter phase of DAOs.
Key Lessons

NFT-gating is simple but less flexible than using fungible tokens. These are not mutually exclusive.

Think from first principles. Don’t force solutions. You may not need tokens.
 Hot Takes

DAOs, like NFTs, are primitives. These technologies are defined by early use cases. Although they are flexible and agnostic. A DAO can be a community, company, protocol, investment fund, city, country or who knows what else.

Token-gated physical communities will gain traction after digitally-native communities. We have unsolved problems in governance, usability and tooling. Physical implementations compound problems. This won’t stop us from trying.
 Haters

“Transaction costs are high.”

You want security for high-value tokens. There’s no free lunch. Some token-gated communities use L2s and centralized apps for operations.“What about speculators?”

They’re incentivized to add value to the community. To do otherwise puts their investment at risk.“This is exclusionary.”

This is a critique of gated communities. Not token-gated communities. That’s beyond the scope of this report.
