A recognition network for communities
See what your organization uses to run membership today, what it would use with Bothy, and what happens when a whole town runs on one pass.
Bothy is not solving authentication. It is solving something older and bigger: portable belonging and recognition. A community hands its members one pass. That pass lives in the member's phone, it cannot be copied or sold, and it works everywhere the community wants it to count: on the website, in the store, at the counter, and online at any partner that chooses to honor it.
Same pass. Every place you belong.
One Skye license turns all of this on. Members never pay. Mix and match the pieces your community actually needs.
A membership card that lives in your member's phone wallet. They carry it everywhere. It cannot be copied, forwarded or sold.
LiveMembers-only pages, posts and downloads on your website. The content simply is not there unless the pass checks out.
LiveAutomatic member pricing in your online store. The right price shows up at checkout, no coupon code to type or leak.
LiveRecognize a member in person. They tap or show their pass at the counter or the door, and staff never see a wallet address.
LiveMembers get their discount automatically as they shop online, even on other stores that choose to honor the pass.
LiveA single Skye license runs every tool above. Set your rules once. Founding communities get the first year free.
LiveThese look like very different markets on the surface. Underneath, they all want the same thing: take care of the people who belong, without building an app or leaking a list.
Coaches and league admins keep game film, schedules and team news for players and parents, and run a team store on the side.
What they use today
What they would use with Bothy
Why it is better: game film and strategy stay inside the team instead of getting screenshotted around the league, the store rewards the families who show up, and there is no password to leak. The family already carries the pass.
How you would set it up
Create your club in the dashboard, free. Add your crest and create your team pass.
Email every family an invite. They tap once and the pass lands in their phone wallet. No app, no account to make.
Add SkyeGate to your team site, point it at your pass, and game film plus schedules turn members-only.
Open your store with SkyeWoo and set a family price. At tournaments, open the Scanner and tap a pass to give the member price at the snack bar.
Film stays with the team, the store rewards the families who show up, and there is never a password to leak.
Parent associations coordinate volunteers, fundraising and class news, and guard a family directory that should never go public.
What they use today
What they would use with Bothy
Why it is better: the directory cannot be screenshotted into a marketing list, access follows enrollment automatically, and there is no shared password to chase down at the end of the year.
How you would set it up
Set up your PTA in the dashboard, free, and create your family pass.
Invite every enrolled family by email. One tap and they are in, nothing to download.
Add SkyeGate to your school site and put the directory, fundraising pages and volunteer signups behind the pass.
The directory can never be screenshotted into a telemarketer's list, and access follows enrollment with no password to manage.
Local spots want to treat regulars like regulars, both at the counter and online, without making anyone download an app.
What they use today
What they would use with Bothy
Why it is better: loyalty without a custom app or a drawer full of punch cards, the same regular recognized in person and online, and the option to pull in the whole neighborhood by honoring the passes of the groups next door.
How you would set it up
Create your regulars club in the dashboard, free, and make your regulars pass.
Hand it out: a card on the counter, a link in your newsletter, a tap at the register. It lands in the customer's wallet.
Open the Scanner on a tablet or phone at the counter. A regular taps, the regular's price applies, and you never see a wallet.
Add SkyeWoo for the same member price online, and set your recognition rulebook to honor the local school or team passes too.
Real loyalty with no app and no punch cards, and an open door to every community next door.
A bookstore can be the place that quietly rewards everyone in town who belongs to something local.
What they use today
What they would use with Bothy
Why it is better: grassroots loyalty without punch cards or apps. The store reads an inbound pass, confirms one condition, and stores nothing personal. It becomes a hub of local community pricing.
How you would set it up
Sign in to the dashboard and set your recognition rulebook: the school, alumni and club passes you want to welcome, and the discount each one earns.
Add SkyeWoo so community pricing applies online the moment a recognized pass is present.
Open the Scanner at the register to honor those same passes in the shop.
You become the store that rewards everyone in town who belongs to something, and you store none of their data to do it.
Alumni groups offer perks to verified graduates and donors: briefings, events, reunion and store pricing, and standing in the local community.
What they use today
What they would use with Bothy
Why it is better: access tracks qualification on its own, so a lapse quietly removes access with no admin cleanup. Alumni identity becomes portable across local merchants, and no member data is surrendered to a tech giant.
How you would set it up
Create your association in the dashboard and issue your alumni pass.
Invite verified grads and donors by email. The pass lives in their wallet and travels with them.
Gate the alumni portal and private briefings with SkyeGate, and run reunion and merch pricing with SkyeWoo.
Invite local merchants to recognize the alumni pass around campus.
Lapsed members lose access on their own with no cleanup, and alumni status becomes a perk that works all over town.
Congregations know belonging better than anyone. They need private member communication and simple, trustworthy gatherings.
What they use today
What they would use with Bothy
Why it is better: directories and internal schedules stay protected, a private gathering link becomes a pass condition instead of a forwardable secret, and volunteer coordination lives in one place.
How you would set it up
Set up your congregation in the dashboard, free, and create your member pass.
Invite members by email. One tap, pass in wallet, no new login to remember.
Put member communications and schedules behind SkyeGate, and use the Scanner for event check-ins and member gatherings.
A private link becomes a pass condition instead of a forwardable secret, and the directory stays with the congregation.
Creators want a membership that belongs to them and follows the fan, instead of being rented from a platform.
What they use today
What they would use with Bothy
Why it is better: the membership is portable, the creator owns the relationship, there is no platform tax on belonging, and fans carry their access across every place the creator shows up.
How you would set it up
Create your community in the dashboard and mint your membership pass.
Give fans the pass by email or a link from any platform you are on. It lives in their wallet, not in someone else's app.
Add SkyeGate to your own site and gate private articles, livestreams and downloads to pass holders.
The membership follows the fan across every platform, and you own the relationship instead of renting it.
Resident groups need a private channel that is actually private, not an open social group anyone can join.
What they use today
What they would use with Bothy
Why it is better: resident-only without an open social group, a portable neighborhood identity, and shared links that stop being forwardable secrets.
How you would set it up
Set up your association in the dashboard, free, and create a resident pass.
Invite residents by email. One tap and they hold the pass, nothing to install.
Put announcements, documents and shared resources behind SkyeGate so only residents get in.
A real private channel without an open social group, and links that stop leaking past the block.
Venues and fan clubs run presales, VIP pricing and door lists, and want recognition that holds up better than a screenshot.
What they use today
What they would use with Bothy
Why it is better: far more durable than a coupon code or a forwarded screenshot, presale and VIP pricing apply on their own, and the same pass works online and at the door.
How you would set it up
Create your fan club in the dashboard and issue the fan pass.
Share it from your socials and mailing list. Fans tap once and carry it in their wallet.
Run presale and VIP pricing through SkyeWoo, and open the Scanner at the door for fast recognition on the night.
Presale and VIP pricing that cannot be screenshotted around, working the same online and at the door.
Invitation-only groups need a digital door that only opens for active members, online and in person.
What they use today
What they would use with Bothy
Why it is better: only active, verified members get in, the pass replaces forwardable links and shared passwords, and removing someone is a quiet revoke instead of resetting a password for the whole group.
How you would set it up
Create your group in the dashboard, free, and mint the membership pass.
Invite members by email. The pass is the membership, held in their own wallet.
Use SkyeGate as the digital door for private links and files, and the Scanner for in-person member nights.
Only active members get in, and removing someone is a quiet revoke, not a password reset for everyone else.
Everything above is useful for one organization on its own. But communities do not live alone. A parent is also an alum. An alum is also a regular at the cafe. The cafe owner's kids play in the soccer league. The same people belong to many things at once, and with Bothy they carry a pass for each one in the same wallet.
Give a little, get a little, everywhere you belong.
Recognition is a rulebook each organization sets once: the passes it chooses to honor, and what each one earns. The Scanner reads that rulebook in person, and browser recognition reads it online. So an organization can decide to recognize the communities around it, and the moment it does, its members and theirs start to overlap.
No one shared a database. No one sold a list. Each business and group simply read one inbound pass and confirmed a single condition. The cafe never saw the school's roster. The bookstore never got the alumni list. The connections are real, but the private data never moved.
That is the cross-everything effect. Cross-marketing: every organization's members become discoverable to the friendly groups next door, so the soccer families find the cafe and the cafe's regulars find the bookstore. Cross-recognition: a pass earned in one place earns a welcome in another. Cross-relationships: a whole town of communities and small businesses forms a web of recognition with no data broker in the middle.
This is why the same toolkit serves schools, cafes, churches, teams, creators and alumni even though they look nothing alike. They are not buying authentication. They are joining a network of portable belonging, and the network gets more valuable every time another community shows up.
Bothy is a recognition network for communities.
