With Status, you can organize your conversations with community members into designated spaces called channels. Channels bring the right people and information together for a common purpose, like a specific project or topic.

All members of a community can browse and join public channels. For private channels, you must meet the requirements to join the channel. To maintain access to private channels, hold the necessary tokens at all times.
