Community Access Gatekeeping

Replace manual allowlist curation with automated reputation gating.

The Problem

Projects running token-gated communities, NFT allowlists, or early access programs on Base typically manage access through a combination of manual Discord role checks, minimum token balance requirements, and subjective moderator review.

1

Sybil vulnerability — users create multiple wallets to claim multiple allowlist spots

2

False negatives — legitimate builders with strong reputations are denied because they don't hold the right tokens

3

Moderator burnout — the review queue for borderline cases grows faster than the team can process

The Solution

The allowlist.general context replaces manual review pipelines with a single API call. Users who receive ALLOW_WITH_LIMITS get probationary access with reduced permissions until their reputation signals strengthen.

Before

User applies → Moderator reviews Discord history + wallet → Manual approve/deny

After

User submits wallet → zkBaseCred API call → Automatic ALLOW / DENY / ALLOW_WITH_LIMITS
