Holder Access (Utility)
Holding $FORGE is an alternative, no-subscription way to unlock TheContentForge. Instead of paying monthly, you hold a fixed amount of the token in a Solana wallet you control, prove ownership once, and keep holding. Access is conditional and revocable - it depends on continuously holding the required balance - and it is completely independent of billing: it never charges you, and it never touches any paid subscription you already have.
There are two things you can unlock by holding:
Investor Intelligence - the crypto research workspace (Market Pulse, Markets, Narrative Radar, Portfolio, Daily Brief, Alerts, and more).
A Brand / Organization workspace - a constrained version of the content workspace for teams.
How it works in 3 steps
Hold FORGE. Acquire and hold the required amount of $FORGE in a Solana wallet you control.
Connect & verify. Connect your wallet and sign a message to prove you own it. This is a signature only - no transaction, no gas, and no spending or transfer permission is granted. A signing-capable wallet such as Solflare is required; read-only or non-signing wallets are rejected.
Keep holding. Your balance is monitored on an ongoing basis. If it drops below the threshold, access pauses or steps down; restore it and access returns. Your account and data are never deleted.
Getting access
Start at /forge/get-access (the "Get Holder Access" button on the $FORGE Holders page). It's a two-phase flow:
Create your account. If you're not signed in yet, create an email + password (8+ characters) and confirm via the emailed link, which returns you to the access page. No card is required at any point.
Connect, verify, and choose. Once signed in, connect your wallet and sign the challenge to prove ownership. The server reads your on-chain $FORGE balance, then you pick what to unlock.
Choosing your access - the additive rule
You can claim up to one Investor tier and up to one Brand tier at the same time. The one rule to know:
The combined token requirement of everything you select must be ≤ your verified balance. The same tokens cannot back two grants at once.
The selector shows your selected total against your balance live and greys out any combination you can't afford. This means you can stack an Investor tier and a Brand tier on a single balance, as long as the two thresholds add up to no more than what you hold. On confirm, the server re-verifies ownership, re-reads your balance, re-checks the additive rule, and then auto-provisions your workspaces. You land on buttons to Enter Investor Intel and/or Enter Brand workspace.

What unlocks - Brand & Organization
Holding unlocks a constrained team workspace. Larger plans stay on subscriptions:
Holder Org Lite
5,000,000 FORGE
1 seat (owner) · 2 competitor sources · 1 active experiment · 1 Brand Voice profile · 1 Telegram channel · 90-day retention
Holder Org Starter
6,000,000 FORGE
2 seats (owner + 1) · 3 competitor sources · 2 active experiments · 1 Brand Voice profile · 1 Telegram channel · 6-month retention
Brand Pro and Enterprise are not available through holding - they remain paid subscriptions, and holder workspaces exclude onboarding and custom support.
Staying active - conditional and revocable
Conditional & continuous. Access depends on continuously holding the required amount. Your balance is re-checked continuously and on every transfer.
Token amount, not price. Eligibility is based on fixed $FORGE token quantities, not the token's USD price.
Downgrade, pause, restore. If your balance drops below a tier, access steps down to a lower tier or pauses. Restore the balance and access returns automatically - your account, data, and any provisioned workspace are never deleted.
Provisioned workspaces are preserved. If a holder workspace pauses because your balance dipped, it is paused, not deleted; bring the balance back and it reactivates with your data intact.
Independent of paid plans. Any paid subscription you hold continues on its own terms, unaffected by token eligibility - and vice versa.
Managing your access
Your holder access also appears on the Account page as a FORGE access card. It lists each active or suspended grant with the tier name, whether it's an Investor or Brand grant, your verified balance, and the last-verified time. From there you can:
Recheck now - re-read your on-chain balance on demand (occasional rechecks are briefly throttled).
Manage holder access - return to
/forge/get-accessto change your selection.A "verification pending" badge can appear briefly during a data-provider outage; access is not dropped just because a check is temporarily stale.
