đź”’Token Gating Design Overhaul
gm, and welcome to issue #44 of ✨Spark✨We found a content writer (she’s a creator in web3 too!) to help us capture and share your experimentation going down the rabbit hole. She’ll be focused on writing case studies, so if you feel like there’s some knowledge you wanna share with the rest of the community, please let us know. We’d love to get you up on our blog.
Bonfire Product Updates
đź”’ Token Gating Design Overhaul (Pt 1)
We’ve been hard at work these past couple of weeks on a series of improvements to our token-gating UX/UI, and Pt 1 is now ready for the limelight!
This initial release implements a series of improvements to make it quicker and easier to configure a token gate, such as:
Collection Nicknames: When importing a collection, you can now give it a “nickname”. This is especially useful when importing a collection from a shared “platform contract” - e.g. when importing your 1/1s from a platform like Catalog, you can now give your collection a name like “My Catalog 1/1s”, whereby previously it would always use the contract’s on-chain name
“My Collections”: When adding a token requirement, you’ll see a new option “My Collections”, which gives you a dropdown of all your imported collections. In other words, no need to go searching for that contract address again
Token Type Inference: We now infer the “type” of your token (e.g. ERC-20, 721, or 1155) from the contract address, both saving you a click and guaranteeing accuracy
And stay tuned for Pt 2, coming next week đź‘€
🏅 NFT Collectors: ERC-155 Support
The NFT Collectors block in the Studio now supports ERC-1155 contracts! Give it a spin, and let us know what you think.
Creator Spotlight
Last week, multi-instrumentalist electronic musician and producer, @Daktyl, dropped their first nft project in collaboration with 3d visual artist @alecmaassen. If you haven’t heard of him yet, check out this Tiktok video of him looping a beat live with 5 instruments or more in 60 seconds for Redbull Music. Impressive, right?

Tip of the week
Last week we shared a guide on how to add animations to the hero block. We knew that being an expert at After Effects wasn’t going to be a viable option for everyone, so this week we found a much easier alternative to use animations. Check out the updated guide and create animations for your hero block using something as easy as Canva. S/o to @itscharliecrown for showing us the way.
