One Click Wallet Authentication

One click wallet authentication allows your users to login by connecting their wallet. It can also be used to link a user’s wallet to their existing user account. Users simply sign a message with their wallet (a one click operation) and Picket handles the rest. Once the user is authenticated, you’ll receive a JWT access token that you can store and use for future external API requests.

Token Gating

Token gating is a web3 native method of authorization. Token gating restricts access to communities, content, and functionality to users that hold the required token(s). Token gates are extremely simple for users. Users can verify token ownership by connecting and verifying their wallet balance. This is typically a one-click experience in most crypto wallets. It's now also one line of code for developers with Picket. Developers have already used token gating to create exclusive community experiences that range from token gated discords to live event ticketing. Any experience you want to make only accessible to token holders can be easily gated with Picket.

Linking a Wallet to an Existing Account

Picket helps you adapt your existing traditional web applications to the modern web3 world.

Picket's authentication flow verifies wallet ownership, which allows you to securely link a wallet address to a user's profile on your backend. Once you've connected a wallet address to a user, you can integrate web3 information, like NFTs and ENS, into the user's profile!

One API, Multiple Chains

Picket gives you a single API to enable login with wallet functionality, authenticate wallets and authorize users based on token ownership across multiple chains. Whether you want to token gate by an ERC-20 token on Polygon or a collection of SPL tokens on Solana, Picket makes it simple.
