Each member of a community has or is assigned her/his/their own token, which grants access and rights to that member. The members, with their respective tokens, own and control their communities. Other embodiments are provided for generating or minting the tokens using, e.g., a neural network, and generating and transmitting one or more electronic invitations with hyperlinks to invite users to join an NFT-gated community as members.
