Transaction-Based Verification Guide

Overview

The Cryptidz Token Gate supports two verification methods:

1. Web wallet connection - Connect and sign with your wallet (via web interface)

2. Transaction-based verification - Send 0.001 SOL from your wallet (via Telegram bot)

This guide covers the transaction-based verification method, which provides a way to verify $CRYPTIDZ holdings without a wallet connection.

Why Transaction Verification?

Advantages:

• Works with any Solana wallet (hardware, mobile, desktop)

• No browser or extension requirements

• Proof permanently recorded on blockchain

• Works from any device

• Ideal for Ledger and cold storage users

How it works: You send 0.001 SOL from your $CRYPTIDZ wallet to prove ownership without exposing requiring special wallet features.

Transaction-Based Verification Flow

Step 1: Initial Contact

1. Message @CryptidzTokenGateBot on Telegram

2. Use /start to begin your interaction with Sol D Groger

3. You'll receive a warm welcome from the legendary coin validator himself

4. DO NOT click "Verify Your Cryptidz Holdings".

Step 2: Begin Verification & Setup

• Instead, click /verifytx or simply type and enter it.

• Sol D Groger will provide you with detailed instructions and a unique verification address

• You'll receive specific steps to follow for wallet verification

Step 3: Send Verification Transaction

1. Copy the provided verification address exactly

2. Open your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.)

3. Send exactly 0.001 SOL (or more) to the verification address

4. CRITICAL: Must be sent from the wallet containing your $CRYPTIDZ tokens

5. Wait for blockchain confirmation (usually 30-60 seconds)

6. Copy your transaction hash from your wallet or blockchain explorer

7. Paste it into the chat

Step 4: Verification Results & Access

• Wait for verification - Sol D Groger will check your holdings automatically

• Receive confirmation of successful verification

• Get tier-appropriate group invitation based on your token balance

• Access exclusive features immediately upon joining tier groups

Detailed Verification Troubleshooting

Common Verification Issues

"We couldn't validate this transaction"

• Check transaction type: Must be a SOL transfer, not a token swap

• Verify address: Ensure you sent to the exact address provided

• Confirm amount: Must be at least 0.001 SOL

• Wait for confirmation: Transaction must be confirmed on blockchain

"Insufficient Balance"

• Check token holdings: Your wallet needs $CRYPTIDZ tokens for tier access

• Verify correct wallet: Must verify the wallet actually holding your tokens

• Wait for token transfer: If you just bought tokens, wait for confirmation

"Transaction Too Old"

• Send fresh transaction: Old transactions can't be used for security

• Send transaction hash: Re-verify via /verifytx

• Don't reuse hashes: Each verification needs a unique transaction

"Rate Limited"

• Wait required time: System prevents spam attempts

• Don't retry immediately: Multiple failed attempts extend the wait time

• Be patient: Rate limits are for security and will reset automatically

Finding Your Transaction Hash

Method 1: From Your Wallet

1. Open your wallet's transaction history

2. Find the recent SOL transfer to the verification address

3. Look for "Transaction ID", "Tx Hash", or "Signature"

4. Copy the complete hash (usually 80+ characters)

Method 2: Using Blockchain Explorers

1. Solscan: Go to solscan.io

2. Search verification address in the search box

3. Find your transaction in the recent transactions list

4. Copy the transaction signature/hash

Method 3: Solana Explorer

1. Visit explorer.solana.com

2. Search for the verification address

3. Locate your transaction in the activity list

4. Copy the transaction signature

Advanced Features

Multiple Wallet Management

• One wallet per user: Each Telegram account can verify one wallet

• Switching wallets: You will need to re-verify

Privacy & Security

• Minimal data collection: Only transaction hash and wallet address stored

• No private keys: Never share private keys or seed phrases

• Secure verification: Uses cryptographic proof of wallet ownership

• Data protection: User information handled according to privacy policies

Re-verification Scenarios

When You Need to Re-verify:

• Upgrading tiers: Moving from Purple to Gold tier access

• Wallet changes: If you move tokens to a different wallet

• Access issues: If you're removed from groups due to balance changes or violation of community guidelines

Re-verification Process:

1. Use /verifytx command again

2. Follow the same verification steps

3. Use your current token-holding wallet

4. Submit new transaction hash
