You can only set up token-gated and open communities using Status desktop.
In a token-gated community, users should meet specific token requirements to join. As a community Owner or TokenMaster, you can change a token-gated community into an open one so that anyone can join even if they don't own any tokens.
In addition to token requirements, you can require manual approval of new join requests. Token requirements and manual approval work independently.
You might want to transition from a token-gated community to an open one for various reasons. For instance, you might want to grow your community by attracting new members, or perhaps you want to make your community more inclusive by removing the entry barrier.
You can use token-gated communities and channels separately. For example, you can set up an open Status Community but restrict access to certain channels.
- To transform your token-gated community into an open one, remove all theBecome membercommunity permissions.
- If your community requires new members to send a join request, you still need to approve new member requests manually.
- You can change your community from token-gated to open at any time.
