Step 1: Create an event
Sign in at IRLEvents, click Create Event, and fill in title, date, time, location, and image. Add a description that names the community — search engines and holders both scan for it.
Step 2: Add gate rules
Under "Gates," add one or more requirements. For an NFT community, that's usually the contract address and standard (ERC-721 for most PFPs, ERC-1155 for editions, SPL-NFT for Solana). Set minimum balance to 1 for most cases.
Step 3: Add a POAP or bonus gate (optional)
Attach a POAP claim link so attendees who show up walk away with an on-chain badge — great for building repeat attendance.
Step 4: Share the RSVP link
Post the event URL in your Discord, Twitter, or newsletter. Holders click, connect a wallet, sign a message, and get a QR check-in code.
Step 5: Check in at the door
Use the built-in QR scanner (or hand off to a co-host) to check in guests. Tokens are locked to prevent double-use.
