SkyeGate for developers

Gate content by what a wallet holds: WordPress or Next.js

If a wallet meets your condition, they see the content. If it doesn't, they don't.

Show pages, downloads, or articles only to visitors whose wallets meet your rules. Four condition types: token balances, NFT ownership, EAS attestations (Coinbase Verified, Gitcoin Passport), and Farcaster identity. 34 blockchains on Pro. One Pro license covers the WordPress plugin AND the Vercel/Next.js npm SDK: one license, two stacks. No blockchain code. No user database.

Skye Meta builds on InsumerAPI, the condition-based access API. Community membership passes (issued with Skye Meta's Bothy) are recognized out of the box: members unlock with their email and a quick code, and the pass is verified on-chain. Running a club or school site? Start here instead.

Try it

See it work. Live.

Pick a gate condition. Connect your wallet. Watch a hidden message appear (or stay hidden) just like it would on a real site.

The site never sees your wallet's raw balances or holdings. InsumerAPI returns a signed yes-or-no on whether the condition is met, and nothing more.

Gate condition

Native

Demo presets only. On your site, you set your own conditions: any contract, chain, threshold, EAS template, or Farcaster check, with up to 10 stacked rules (Pro).

🔒

A message is hidden behind this gate.

Connect a wallet that meets the condition above to see it.

Who it's for

Your members are already here

No passwords. No signup forms. No member database. The blockchain already knows who qualifies.

NFT holders

Show exclusive content, early access, or previews to anyone holding your NFT collection. Blockchain-verified.

Token communities

Gate research, tutorials, or premium articles to wallets holding your project's token. On any of 34 chains with Pro.

DAO (token-governed group) members

Restrict governance docs, strategy proposals, or internal updates to wallets holding the governance token.

Stablecoin holders

Gate content to wallets holding USDC, USDT, or any stablecoin above a threshold. Proof of capital, not identity.

Why wallet gating

Why not a membership plugin?

Traditional membership plugins require accounts, passwords, and subscription billing. SkyeGate replaces all of that with wallet ownership. If they hold the right token, they get access.

No user database

The membership lives in the visitor's wallet, and SkyeGate recognizes it. No accounts to manage, no passwords to store, no member tables to maintain.

No payment gateway

Membership is determined by token ownership. No subscription billing, no payment processing, no recurring charges to manage.

Transferable access

NFT holders can trade their membership. When the token moves, the access moves with it, automatically.

Privacy-preserving

SkyeGate returns pass or fail, never exposes the visitor's actual balance or holdings.

Security

Server-side content protection

Gated content is stored on the server and only delivered after the wallet passes all conditions. Before verification, it is not in the page source, DOM, or network traffic.

Content not in page source: The gated content is never sent to the browser. DevTools, view-source, and network inspection reveal nothing.

Verification fails gracefully: Wrong wallet? Clear feedback. The content stays locked on the server regardless of client-side manipulation.

Server delivers on pass: Only after cryptographically signed verification passes does the server release the content to the browser.

Before verification: not in page source, DOM, or network traffic
Multi-condition policies: up to 10 rules across 34 chains
Every decision backed by cryptographically signed verification from InsumerAPI

For the curious

One shortcode. That's it.

Wrap your content in [skyegate]. Pick the token, the chain, the threshold. SkyeGate handles the rest: wallet connection, verification, and secure delivery.

Up to 10 conditions per gate (Pro): mix tokens, NFTs, EAS attestations, Farcaster IDs
Multi-wallet: MetaMask, Phantom (Solana), Coinbase, all at once
34 blockchains: EVM, Solana, Tron & Sui
You set how fast access ends when someone sells: 1 minute to a day

Setup

Up and running in minutes

Choose monthly ($49/mo) or annual ($350/yr) billing on the pricing section. You'll receive your license key and a download link for the plugin ZIP by email.

Upload and activate the plugin

In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, upload the ZIP, click Install Now, then click Activate Plugin.

Activate the license

In the left sidebar, go to Settings → SkyeGate. Paste your license key and click Activate. Your key is locked to this domain.

Gate content

In any post or page, wrap content in the [skyegate] shortcode. Set the contract address, chain, and threshold. Content stays on the server until a wallet passes verification.

Visitors connect and get in

Visitors see a gate prompt with token requirements. They click Connect Wallet, all detected wallets connect, they approve one quick, free signature proving the wallet is theirs, and verification runs. If they pass, the gated content is revealed.

Technical questions

Frequently asked questions

Which wallets do visitors need?

MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or Phantom. All detected wallets connect simultaneously with one click, then approve one free ownership signature. On mobile, visitors use their wallet app's built-in browser.

Can someone bypass the gate with DevTools?

No. Content is stored server-side and is not delivered to the browser until the wallet passes all conditions.

Can I set multiple conditions on one gate?

Yes, with Pro. Up to 10 conditions per gate using numbered attributes (contract_2, chain_2, threshold_2, etc.). All must be met to unlock. Lite supports 1 condition per gate.

Can I gate by Farcaster identity?

Yes, with Pro. Use [skyegate type="farcaster_id"] to require a wallet that has a registered Farcaster ID on Optimism. No contract address or chain to specify: the check happens automatically against the Farcaster IdRegistry. Lite does not include Farcaster gating.

If someone sells their token, how fast do they lose access?

By the end of your check window, and you choose how long that is. SkyeGate remembers a wallet's last check for 30 minutes by default, so someone who sells at noon is locked out by 12:30 at the latest. Set it to 5 minutes and they are out by 12:05.

You will find it under Settings → SkyeGate as Cache Duration, anywhere from 1 minute to a day. Checking a wallet is included in your licence and costs you nothing extra, so tighten it as much as you like. Shorter means access ends sooner; longer means pages feel a little snappier for people who are already in.

There is nothing for you to do when someone leaves. You do not remove them, because selling the token is what removes them. The blockchain is the list, and the gate follows it.

What's the difference between Lite and Pro?

Lite is free on WordPress.org and gates content with one condition at a time, drawn from three types (Token, NFT, EAS attestation) across 32 chains. Pro adds a fourth condition type (Farcaster identity), supports up to 10 conditions stacked into one gate, and extends coverage to 34 chains (adding Tron, Sui, and XDC Network; XRP Ledger stays on Lite). Pro also ships as a Vercel/Next.js npm SDK (@skyemeta/skyegate): one license covers both the WordPress plugin and the SDK. Both delivery channels ship the same server-side delivery and signed verification.

Can I use SkyeGate on Next.js or Vercel?

Yes. SkyeGate Pro ships as both a WordPress plugin and a Vercel/Next.js npm SDK (@skyemeta/skyegate). The same SKYE license key works on both: one license, two stacks, no extra cost. Bring your own wallet stack (wagmi, RainbowKit, ConnectKit, Privy) and drop in <GatedContent />. See the SDK docs for the quick-start, or clone the Next.js starter app on GitHub.
