Frequently asked questions

What is Niche Club?

Niche Club is a platform that allows users to create and join exclusive social communities called Clubs. These Clubs are built on the NEAR blockchain using smart contracts, which define the terms and conditions of the Club, including the number of Membership Cards available. Users can join a Club by minting the corresponding Membership Card NFT into their Niche Wallet. Club members gain access to social forums, content, and other benefits provided by the Club Creator. Niche Club also reserves the right to enforce policies and guidelines, and may remove posts, suspend or terminate accounts, and burn Membership Card NFTs if users violate these policies or terms and conditions. The platform also has a Privacy Policy in place to protect the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information.

How can I create a Club on Niche?

To create a Club on Niche, you can deploy a smart contract to the NEAR blockchain that embodies the terms of the Club, including the pre-set number of Membership Cards.

Club members gain access to social forums and content in the Niche App, and they can also receive extrinsic benefits from the Club Creator or gain gated access to third-party applications and content.
