👾 Token Gate Your Discord Server
gm, and welcome to issue #24 of ✨Spark✨ We had a really great conversation on Twitter Spaces last Friday — thank you to everyone that tuned in. We shared a recap of Season 1 and focused on what we have planned for this season. And to top it off, we connected with Xcelensia and a few other web3 creators. Lucky for you, it was recorded so you can still catch it here for a few more weeks.
Beyond that, last week we announced that we finally rolled out our first automated bounty, which enables Rally creators to reward quote tweets on Twitter. If you’re not sure how to set this up, follow this guide.
Bonfire Product Updates
👾 Discord Token Gating (Beta)
We just released another major update to token gates - you can now use your custom gates in your Discord server as well, to manage your private roles and channels. This means you can create multi-token, multi-chain gates that are synced across your Bonfire site and your Discord server.
How it Works
First, you’ll need to invite the Bonfire Discord bot to your server. From the dashboard, select Settings → Integrations → Discord
After adding the bot to your server, select Create Channel under the Wallet Verification Channel section. This adds a #verify-assets channel to your Discord server
Finally, navigate to the Token Gates tab and create a new gate, or edit an existing one. Toggle on Manage Discord Role, and select the role that you want to connect to that gate
And that’s it! Members in your Discord can now connect their Rally account and/or Ethereum wallet from the #verify-assets channel to verify their token holdings and unlock gated roles and channels in your server 💃
Creator Spotlight: $NOTD
NOTD, a Swedish musical production duo, recently announced they’re offering free, exclusive merch to their NFT holders. If you’re an ‘about you' holder, you can now get a (very cool-looking) new tee. They’re making it happen through Bonfire’s store feature.
Check it out and think about what free merch you can offer your token holders.

Tweet of the week
With NFT sales cooling, it's apparent that "patronage+" (supporting a creator with potential for profit) is actually in most cases "speculation+" (desire for returns, and everything else is an added perk)
Where do we go when speculative buying dissipates?
