Overview
Grape Protocol, also known as the Grape Network, is built on the Solana blockchain to facilitate decentralized community management. It enables communities to implement token-based memberships, where access and roles are determined by the user’s holdings of specific Solana tokens or NFTs. Grape was launched during the Solana Hackathon, where it secured the second-place prize in the Web3 Track in 2021.
Key Features
Grape Access and Membership
Grape Protocol’s hallmark feature is Grape Access, which allows communities to create gated membership systems. Using a dynamic balance-based model, users gain access to exclusive channels or community functions depending on their wallet’s token or NFT holdings. This creates what the protocol calls “Skin in the Game” for members, encouraging active engagement and contribution.
