You are one of the first users of the internet’s new standard in sharing Web2 content with Web3 audiences.
This is the very first 3GATED link. We decided to make it a Notion page rather than an internal blog to demonstrate the concept of “token-gating everything”. With 3GATE, we enable just that in an extremely simple to use interface.
3GATE is for everyone and everything. Web3 natives, outsiders, admirers, and all in between. Above all, we hope it is a bridge that enables genuine connections within the Web3 space.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
There are only two ways to get access to our platform until we open up publicly in the beginning of 2023. Now that you’ve opened this link you are able to fully use the platform.
A token-gated link is a special URL that requires an Ethereum wallet signature to verify access. 3GATE allows for the creation of these links in 3 easy steps.
1. Paste in your link
Any link on the internet will work. Great examples are blogs, playlists, and storefronts but the options are limitless.
The 3GATE UI is very simple and user friendly.
2. Edit your preview
Configure how the link will display to whoever is opening it. Helpful for links that do not show a preview when pasted in or for enhancing the privacy of your shares.
3. Configure the gating
You can gate your link to 1 contract and up to 10 ETH addresses. ENS support and a contract autofill system that is constantly being refined.
Once you have gone through these steps you will be provided with your 3GATED shortlink. This link is sharable anywhere you’d like but only the wallets or collection addresses in the gate will be able to unlock the link.
<aside> ⚠️ Once a user has opened a 3GATED link, they will have access to the full URL of the gated page. Although we prohibit the sharing of gated content, we ultimately cannot control user behavior past punitive actions like suspension or banning. Please do not use 3GATE to share sensitive information with wallets that you do not trust.

Opening and consuming 3GATED content is almost as fun as gating it in the first place. On the link’s page you’ll see a ton of information to keep you safe and informed.
On each 3GATED link you’ll see a preview of the content featuring the page title, description, and image thumbnail. This allows you to get an idea of what’s behind the gate before you open.
<aside> ⚠️ This information can easily be misleading. Bad actors can set deceptive page meta to trick you into opening a link. Be vigilant and only open content from wallets you recognize. Even then, be careful at all times.
