What is Guild.xyz?

Guild.xyz is a token-enabled membership management tool to create, organize and scale communities on Discord and beyond. It helps anyone to manage their communities by providing roles and token-gated access to channels using Guild.xyz Bot. This allows community managers to control who can see and join specific conversations, making it easier to keep track of who is involved in what discussion. The Guild.xyz bot helps users verify any digital assets they own on the blockchain, which would give them exclusive access to channels and roles. By using the Guild.xyz Bot, community managers can ensure that only the people who should have access to certain information are able to see it which also helps in preventing scammers and shillers.

The bot accesses open-data on the blockchain of digital assets to automatically assign channel and role privileges, eliminating the need for manual labour. As a result, the bot can help communities to efficiently scale through a verification system that is highly customizable according to the needs of each community manager.

Guild is the fancy name used by guild.xyz to the place where you manage your community.
