### **Powerful New Experiences Driven by Tokens**

As token ownership becomes increasingly mainstream, **established brands are entering web3** as a way to captivate new audiences, build communities, and appeal to existing consumers. We give these brands the tools to offer experiences, products, and reward programs based on token ownership.

### Safer Proof of Ownership

Throughout the online world, **individuals and organizations regularly need to prove token ownership to access specific benefits** (for example: to gain entry to a Discord server or log into a token-gated site). Similarly, e-commerce merchants are joining the scene and offering unique benefits and targeted discounts to owners of specific tokens using. As these new use-cases become our new reality, there is an immediate need for a safe solution for proving ownership. **The requirement for users to connect their actual wallets is highly impractical and unsafe.**&#x20;

To solve for this, tokenproof allows individuals and organizations to carry proof of ownership that links their wallets directly to their mobile device.  As a result, token owners can easily authenticate ownership of their digital assets by generating a t*okenproof* while keeping their **actual tokens safe in their wallet.**
