Nice, Telegram clearly has the momentum with 3k+ interactions. Makes sense to double down there. The Twitter bot’s viral potential sounds interesting — what’s the core use case you’re envisioning that would make it spreadable?

Twitter has a lot of rules around interacting with it which I’ll need to be careful with.. (to avoid spam)..
But all it takes is a like and a retweet 
I was thinking to start looking into things like helping project owners collect account addresses from their users, to help organise airdrops on astar.. That’s probably a pretty easy one to do..
But I have some other ideas as well..
Just test the waters really..

Got it on the airdrop use case. What are the other ideas you mentioned for the Twitter bot? Curious what else you see as having viral potential for D8A on that platform.
I have a lot of ideas..
Let’s see how the UCG application goes first..

Great to see the UCG motion moving forward, well deserved given the steady development and community interest so far.
On the Twitter bot ideas:
• Airdrop address collection is definitely useful, especially for projects without tooling support.
• You could also explore automated “engagement checkpoints” for campaigns — e.g. verifying users completed certain interactions (follow, like, reply, etc.) and producing a list for project owners.
• Another angle might be cross-platform identity linking (Telegram ↔ X ↔ on-chain wallet), which many projects struggle with.
• And for viral potential, lightweight “utility first” features usually travel far — things like quick token lookups, simple analytics, or alerts tied to Astar-specific events.
Overall, the direction seems solid. Looking forward to seeing how the bot evolves once the UCG decision is finalized.

Lots of little UI & UX upgrades..
Website:
The CCIP page is slicker and with better helper warnings.. LINK
The profile section is cleaner and the whole website has a lot of small improvements..
I have been testing an airdrop organiser for discord and telegram. I wanted to launch it before giving this update but I still want to optimise the data storage and improve the airdrop token type instead of a simple ERC20. I don’t want to launch a simple erc20 and then change the format next month and have to transfer everyone over. But feel free to reach out and I can show it in action on a video call.
The docs are a better but still need improving as I add more updates.
Discord bot:
The website’s contact page now sends messages directly to me (and other admins) via discord to allow direct communication.
The Airdrop feature works well with groups and roles but it would currently break if a group had 100,000+ members. So I still need to optimise.
Telegram:
This last week I’ve been testing a trading simulation that tracks the price of the stock market against the price changes of ETH/DOT/ASTR but currently this venture has been unsuccessful (maybe because the stock markets have been on holidays).
This is something that I’m going to leave for now and see how they perform over the next few months to see if they are profitable in any way..
But for now a signal can be requested in the unofficial channel with /signal for a live response..
The new airdrop feature is also working on telegram but not ready for large scale operations as well..
Twitter:
I upgraded to premium+ because I wanted to see all their features that they offer. Which was basically a waste of $50 because most of the features are designed for users with 10,000+ followers and some of the features didn’t even work.
Will get back to twitter next month.
Gallery:
In this example the user doesn’t have enough wASTR to bridge so the warning helps them to wrap more ASTR within the d8a interface.
Unfortunately at the moment the /signal is predicting -12.22% for astr so I need to do some tweaks 
Airdrops coming soon…
So everything is going pretty well and I just updated the website so if you notice any bugs then let me know!
This month I’m going to focus on:
New airdrop token format.
Testing more ccip stuff. (I feel like the CCIP market is still very new but the potential is ramping-up.)
Cleaning up the website code and finalizing the website 100%.
Pizza!
Any questions?
HNY!

Hi @ERC20s , D8A team,
Just a friendly reminder that your 2nd UCG report is scheduled for 5 February 2026.
Whenever ready, please remember to publish the report in this forum thread to stay aligned with the UCG reporting schedule.
Thank you and keep up the good work.

Website:
This month I created a stETH/ASTR pool on ethereum then added uniswap liquidity pooling for wstETH/ASTR and custom pools..
So now you can bridge your ASTR and then stake on uniswap:
or do both in the flow section at the same time.
The website code is cleaner now (but as I keep adding things, it adds complexity)
I also started to add multiple accounts for the same network eg EVM-address1, EVM-address2 but I think it’s going to add too much complexity and is currently not supported by wallets anyway but the idea was that users could use all the balances of all their addresses to help complete transactions. (So let’s hope this message is seen by the wallet gods and implemented by them. I just dm’d talisman. LFG.).
Telegram:
The trading simulation that I created last month has been performing very well.
It made a profit of 47.5% since last month.. Which is pretty crazy..
Discord bot:
I added a few different trading simulation strategies to discord using the same metric.
The metric has been negative basically all month so all of the strategies have been in cash the whole time.
The reason the telegram has been more successful is because it shorts the market when the price is negative.
Building something to take advantage of this metric would be interesting.
But if shorting is more successful then I would need to have a way of shorting on-chain with low tx fees.
Coming soon:
I should recheck the whole website code with the added pools and update the docs again 
The airdrop section. (This has basically become it’s own project completely. Everything is working well. But when the admin distributes the token to their users. I want it to be the best token possible. So right now I have a token with governance capabilities and some other things but it still needs to be finalized and tested.)
A lot of people have taken interest in the 48% returns in a month. So let’s see if I can make that into a product..
Thanks for the support!
All questions and feedback appreciated…
