# Membership

Being a member of the Roofstock onChain community gives you access to our private [Discord](https://discord.gg/RoofstockOnChain), real estate education and more. 

### The onChain Membership Token

Membership on the Roofstock onChain community is verified through the onChain membership token. This is a [non-transferable](https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/what-are-soulbound-tokens-sbt) token, specific to the wallet that owns it.

To become a member, you should connect your wallet first. Then you will be asked to mint the onChain membership token through a prompt in your wallet. 

This token will be used to verify your identity as a buyer, and is required to buy a Home OnChain token. 

After you mint it, the Roofstock onChain Membership token will be deposited in your wallet. 

{% hint style="info" %}
The wallet with the membership token should be the same you use to buy your Home onChain
{% endhint %}

### Restrictions on Home onChain token transfers

For security and compliance, the Home onChain smart contract ensures that only the wallets that:

1. Contain the membership token, and
2. Are [Verified buyers ](https://roofstock-onchain.gitbook.io/learn-about-roofstock-onchain/guides/buying-guide/become-a-verified-buyer)

can buy these tokens.

{% hint style="info" %}
It is not possible to transfer a Home onChain token to a wallet that does not have an onChain membership token
{% endhint %}

If you need to transfer your token to a different wallet after purchase, [contact us.](mailto:onchain@roofstock.com)
