Proposal
We propose to you to build a light integration of Astar to Quidli by adding $ASTR to our API and hosted app environment. This will enable you to seamlessly distribute Astar as rewards to the top active participants in your community directly in your Slack or Discord.
What Problem are you trying to solve?
Web3 orgs faced challenges regarding their community growth and retention such as:
- Lack of community engagement
- Lack of community loyalty
- Low community growth and acquisition
Our Solution/Proposal
Horizontal perspective:
With Quidli, you can:
- Maintain a strong and loyal community by rewarding your top contributors in $ASTR
- Create a culture of recognition amongst the Astar community through Discord.
- Promote & Awareness of the $ASTR token amongst new holders (quidli existing users).
Vertical perspectives:
-
Community Management:
• Maintain a strong and loyal community by rewarding transparently on discord your top ambassador in $ASTR token.
• Create a culture of recognition amongst the Astar community through Discord. -
Marketing:
• Use of quidli for special marketing events on discord: airdrop for awareness, Q&A with rewards, monthly prizes.
• Gain new holders: Quidli is used by 1100+ organizations today, and >$3m in transaction volume over past 12 months
-HR & Internal Culture:
• Rewards internal members through our webApp or Slack integration and share appreciations (Overachievements, On-boarding, Birthday,…)
Use Cases and previous partnerships:
NEAR Foundation
- Needs: The NEAR Foundation’s Community team was looking for more ways to engage foundation members and to build a strong culture of internal and external recognition using their native NEAR token.
- Use Case: The NEAR Foundation is using Quidli both internally (in the organization’s Slack) and externally (with its network of external partners as well as in its community Discord) as a tool to reward good contributors in NEAR.
ETHDenver
- Needs: ETHDenver (SporkDAO) was looking for a way to increase awareness of their community to external members as well as to have wider distribute of their own SPORK tokens among existing members.
- Use case: Quidli helps SporkDAO to on-board new members to the DAO by enabling the community to tip each other in SPORK. Quidli is also used during ETHDenver by community members who want to recognize and acknowledge mutual contributions throughout the period of the conference.
iExec
- Needs: With plans to launch a community ambassador initiative, iExec was exploring way to incorporate RLC, their own token, as a reward that can be distributed natively in Discord.
- Use Case: iExec uses Quidli to share RLC with both its community ambassadors who help to manage their open Discord as well as with community members who contribute to evangelism across social media.
Competitors:
→ Collab.Land (crypto)
→ Tip.cc (crypto)
Problems:
- Bad User Experience: account creation and on-boarding are pretty long, not scalable and difficult for crypto newbies.
- These tools don’t collaborate with a lot of Crypto communities.
Our differenciation:
Quidli is a streamlined app, user friendly and scalable no matter how large your community is. We already worked with tons of Community Managers and crypto organizations with big and loyal communities.
Define clear Objective and Key Results (KPIs)
PoC & MVP (Key Results):
Our immediate aims for adding $ASTR token to quidli ecosystem are:
- To enable Astar to use Quidli internally via Slack and external via Discord.
- To offer our existing user base $ASTR token as a micro-incentive option.
Define clear Milestones & Timeline
1st Milestone: first week
Our team will use this first week to review the $ASTR technical token documentation. Our team will probably need additional technical documentation from the Astar team concerning the token integration, as well as using $[token name] tokens to be able to test the token within the Quidli environment.
2nd Milestone: second week
We will use a portion of the $ASTR grant to perform some transactions tests in our Quidli environment during the integration process (send, give, withdraw, deposit, etc …)
3rd Milestone: third week
- Review of the PoC/MvP with the Grant team.
- Publish a PR about the Quidli & Astar partnership.
In the future:
- We can participate in AMA session to promote Quidli to your Community.
- We can provide you datas/personalized dashboard and engagement metrics.
- Telegram integration coming in 2023.
Level of Support being requested (in $USD)
We’re asking for $1,500 in $ASTR at the end of the 3rd Milestone and after reviewing the deliverable.
