Content-gated is one of the most powerful use-cases of Social Token. Indeed, by creating their own coin, creators will be able to showcase content only to a small portion of their biggest fans, and therefore create a direct and closer relationship with them. Li Jin argued in her essay 1,000 True Fans? Try 100 that creators only need to engage a modest base of "true fans"—those who will "buy anything you produce"—to the tune of $1000 per fan per year (for a total annual income of $100,000). By creating unique content and a direct relationship with their biggest fans, creators can now earn a living from their passion, creating a relationship with those 100 true fans.

Through Social Tokens, it's possible to gate content (videos, essays…) but also specific channels on a Discord Server or the server himself. The possibilities are endless, and only the Creator's creativity is the limit. We could imagine a "Future-projects" channel on Discord, for example, where only the community members that have enough Tokens can submit ideas. Gating the channel ensures that only the biggest fans (those with the most social tokens, those who believe the most in the project) can submit new ideas. We could also envision a Discord channel where fans with enough Token can set up a 1:1 call with the Creator. Again, the possibilities are endless.
