# StarGate

StarGate lets projects lock their Telegram groups behind token ownership. Set a minimum token holding requirement — anyone who drops below the threshold gets automatically removed. No manual moderation, no exceptions.

Think of it as the crypto-native version of a membership gate. Only real holders get in. Only real holders stay.

**How it works:** Connect StarGate to your Telegram group and set your token and minimum holding threshold. StarGate continuously monitors wallets and auto-removes anyone who sells below the required amount — keeping your community exclusive and your holders committed.

**Key features:**

* **Token-gated access** — only verified token holders can join and stay in the group
* **Auto-kick** — members who drop below the threshold are automatically removed
* **Configurable thresholds** — set any minimum holding amount that suits your project
* **Continuous monitoring** — wallets are checked in real time, not just at entry
* **Holder commitment** — incentivizes holders to maintain their position to keep community access
