Guild ( guild.xyz (https://guild.xyz/) ) is the authorization layer for token-gated communities: it decides who may enter a space and what role they hold there, based on what a wallet holds or has done on-chain. Where a governance contract like OpenZeppelin Governor (/wiki/daos/tooling/openzeppelin-governor) answers "whose vote counts," Guild answers the prior question — "who gets into the room at all." It is the plumbing behind most of the token-gated Discords, Telegram groups, and members-only spaces in Web3, including social DAOs such as Friends With Benefits (/wiki/daos/friends-with-benefits) .

Requirements, Roles, and Rewards Guild organises a community around three building blocks, documented in its How Guild works (https://docs.guild.xyz/guild/how-guild-works) guide. Requirements are the conditions a person must meet: on-chain activity (own a $TOKEN or NFT, hold a POAP (https://help.guild.xyz/en/articles/8123193-gitcoin-passport-as-guild-requirement) , make N transactions, interact with a given contract), social proof (follow an X account, hold an existing Discord role, verify an email), other-guild activity (a points threshold or another guild's role), or time-based conditions (had a role before a date, transacted in the last seven days). Requirements span 20+ blockchains and 30+ apps, and a "should not satisfy" rule can exclude (https://help.guild.xyz/en/articles/6934741-wallets-social-accounts) wallets rather than admit them. Roles bundle a set of requirements together with what meeting them grants; a single guild can layer many roles for tiered access. Rewards are what a satisfied role unlocks — the platform automatically grants Discord server roles, Telegram access, GitHub repository permissions, Google Workspace file sharing, POAPs, and token rewards, per the rewards (https://docs.guild.xyz/guild/how-to-setup-rewards) documentation. Access is re-evaluated against live wallet state, so a role is revoked automatically when its holder no longer meets the requirement.

What it gates, and where Guild's value is that it turns an on-chain fact into an off-chain permission without any custom code. A community defines "hold 1 of this NFT" once, and Guild keeps a Discord role, a Telegram invite, and a private GitHub repo in sync with that condition across every member. Its homepage claims 100+ integrations and communities scaling from a hundred to hundreds of thousands of members, with reference deployments in the 160,000–483,000-member range. Because the gate is a requirement check rather than a smart-contract lock, the same guild can mix on-chain holdings with off-chain proofs — a token and an X follow and an allowlist entry — which is why it became the default access layer for social DAOs (/wiki/daos/friends-with-benefits) and creator communities that gate a human space rather than a treasury.

Sybil resistance and proof-of-personhood A token gate has an obvious weakness: one person with enough capital can meet a holdings requirement from many wallets, or borrow tokens just long enough to pass the check. Guild addresses this at the access layer with native wallet-activity requirements and, since a 2023 partnership, an integration with Gitcoin Passport (https://www.gitcoin.co/blog/guild-xyz-and-gitcoin-passport-partner) — a guild can require a minimum Unique Humanity Score so that roles are gated on a proof-of-personhood signal rather than on holdings alone. This makes Guild one of the practical building blocks discussed on sybil resistance in DAOs (/wiki/daos/concepts/sybil-resistance-in-daos) : it can filter who gets a voice in a forum or an allowlist, even though it does not itself weight anyone's on-chain vote.

Origin and adoption Guild is built by the Agora Space (https://agora.space/) team — formerly ZGEN, founded in 2020 and based in Szeged, Hungary — positioning itself early as "the authorization layer for Web3." The project is freemium, free to start with paid tiers for scale, and grew into the widely-used token-gating standard for Discord and Telegram, trusted (per its own site) by 1,000+ teams. It sits in the access-and-identity slot of the broader DAO tooling stack (/wiki/daos/tooling/dao-tooling-overview) , alongside contribution tools like Coordinape (/wiki/daos/tooling/coordinape) and voting layers like Snapshot (/wiki/daos/tooling/snapshot) : Guild decides who is in the community, and the governance tools decide what the community does.

How Caper approaches this Guild is the best answer to one specific question — gate this space by what a wallet holds right now. But a token gate is a snapshot: hold the token today and you are in; sell it, or return the tokens you borrowed for the check, and the role is revoked. It governs access, and access is exactly the thing a well-funded buyer can rent. A caper (/wiki/foundations/what-is-a-caper) does not gate access at all — anyone can buy the token and become a member — but it makes the part of governance that actually matters something a wallet cannot buy or rent. Voting weight is (t·v)/(V·T), combining tokens held with v, an earned, soulbound (/wiki/daos/concepts/soulbound-tokens) proof-of-vote record that is minted one-per-vote and cannot be transferred, and the same weighting sets a member's pro-rata share on exit (/wiki/daos/concepts/rage-quit-and-exit-rights) . Stake still counts — t is a multiplier, not something the earned record replaces — but the decisive, earned factor has no spot price. The two are complementary rather than competing: a caper could happily use Guild to gate a token-holders' Discord. Guild decides who is in the room; a caper decides who has earned the standing to move the treasury, and makes that standing un-buyable.
