- Solana apps gating access by token holdings
- Worth noticing
- Proofs use a signed snapshot at a finalized slot, so they establish historical—not live—balances.
Field notes
The documented flow starts with a browser-generated secret and a wallet signature, then relies on an attester to sign a Merkle root built from SPL balances at a finalized slot. Verifiers can set an acceptable snapshot age and use fresh challenges plus app-scoped nullifiers. The page says the attester could include false balances, while also noting that small anonymity sets and network logs can still expose activity.
