No wallet connection required. No seed phrase.
Token-gate your Telegram community
Lock any group or channel behind what members actually hold — a token balance, a portfolio value, or a payment. Wallets are verified without ever being connected, and anyone who stops qualifying is removed automatically.

Gate types
Three ways to decide who gets in
Gates act as alternatives. Mix token, net worth, and payment gates on the same chat, and a member only needs to satisfy one of them to get in and stay in.
Token gate
Up to 7 per chatRequire a minimum balance of a specific token.
Works with custom project tokens and native coins alike. Balances are summed across every wallet a member has verified, so someone spreading holdings over three wallets is still credited for the full amount.
For example
- Hold 100,000 $PONKE
- Hold 100 $SOL
- Hold 500,000 $BRETT
Net worth gate
1 per chatRequire a minimum total portfolio value in USD.
Instead of one balance, this measures the combined USD value of a member's verified wallets across every supported chain, counting native coins, major stablecoins, and other reviewed liquid tokens. Thinly traded tokens are left out, so the number can't be inflated. Useful when you care about who is serious rather than who holds one particular asset.
See which tokens countFor example
- Minimum $10,000 portfolio
- Minimum $50,000 portfolio
- Minimum $1,000 portfolio
Payment gate
Up to 3 per chatCharge a USD price for access.
Set one monthly, one yearly, and one lifetime price in USD. Members pay in the native coin of any chain you accept, converted at the current rate, and each payment is forwarded automatically to your own wallet minus a 5% service fee. When a subscription lapses the member is removed and sent a link back to renew.
For example
- $25 per month
- $200 per year
- $500 for lifetime access
How it works
Set it up once, then leave it alone
Four steps from an open chat to one that enforces its own membership.
- 01
Add the bot as an admin
Invite the bot to your group or channel and give it admin rights so it can manage who comes and goes.
Add it before members join. Telegram never gives bots the historical member list, so anyone already in the chat has to be synced or re-join before the purge can see them.
- 02
Set your requirements
Run setup and define what qualifies someone for entry: a token balance, a minimum portfolio value, or a payment. Mix several and members only need to meet one.
- 03
Members verify a wallet
In a private chat with the bot, a member picks their chain and sends a small amount from their wallet back to that same wallet. Once the transfer appears on-chain, the wallet is verified.
No wallet connection required, no seed phrase. The funds move from the member to themselves, so nothing ever leaves their control.
- 04
The bot enforces it daily
A daily purge re-checks every member against your gates and removes anyone who no longer qualifies. Whitelisted members are never removed, and you can trigger a purge on demand.
Built for holders
The details that decide whether gating actually works
Verification your members can trust, and accounting that reflects how people really hold tokens.
No wallet connection required
Members prove ownership with a self-transfer: they send a small amount from their wallet to that same wallet. No browser connection is required and there is never a seed phrase — so there is nothing for a malicious site to abuse.
Balances summed across wallets
A member can verify as many wallets as they like. Token balances and portfolio value are aggregated across all of them, so holdings split between a hot wallet and cold storage still count in full.
Multichain tokens counted as one
Register a bridged token on Multichain Metrics and the bot treats its addresses as a single logical token. A member holding half the threshold on Solana and half on Base still passes.
Daily purge, plus on demand
Every day the bot re-checks each member against your active gates and removes those who no longer qualify. You can also force a purge yourself, and turn automatic purges off entirely.
Use cases
Who runs gated chats
Three gate types, covering communities that look nothing alike.
Whale groups
Keep a room reserved for the largest holders, without vetting screenshots by hand or taking anyone's word for their position size.
Minimum $50,000 portfolio, or hold 100 $SOL
Holder communities
Give your token a home where every member demonstrably holds it. Sentiment stays honest because people who sold are removed automatically.
Hold 100,000 $PONKE across any registered chain

FAQ
Common questions
The things people ask before adding the bot.
Do members have to connect a wallet?
No. Verification works by self-transfer: the bot tells the member an exact amount to send from their wallet back to that same wallet. Once the transaction is visible on-chain, the wallet is verified. No browser connection is required, there is never a seed phrase — and no refund step either, because the funds moved from the member to themselves and never left their control. If a wallet can't send to itself, the member can instead send a small amount to an address the bot creates: the sending wallet is verified and everything is sent back to it, minus the network fee.
What happens when someone sells or drops below the threshold?
A daily purge re-checks every member against your active gates and removes anyone who no longer satisfies at least one of them. Whitelisted members are exempt. You can also run a purge manually at any time, or switch automatic purges off.
Which blockchains are supported?
Solana, Ethereum, Base, BSC (Binance Smart Chain), Robinhood, and TON. In the wallets panel the four EVM chains — Ethereum, Base, BSC, and Robinhood — are grouped together as 'EVM', while Solana and TON are listed separately.
Can I combine different kinds of gates on one chat?
Yes, and they act as alternatives rather than requirements. A chat can have up to seven token gates, one net worth gate, and up to three payment gates (one monthly, one yearly, one lifetime). A member only needs to meet one of them to get in and stay in.
Should I add the bot before or after members join?
Before, ideally. Telegram does not give bots access to a chat's historical member list, so the bot can only reliably track members who join after it is present. If you add it to an existing chat, those earlier members need to be synced or re-join before the purge will include them.
How much does TG Token Gates cost?
A one-time fee of $200 per chat unlocks every current and future feature for that chat. There is no subscription. You can pay on Solana, Ethereum, Base, BSC, Robinhood, or TON, and the bot locks the exact amount in that chain's native coin when you pick one.
