8Bytes: Gamified Blockchain Platform with NFTs, Twitter API and AI Integration

We've been in a zoom meeting, exploring options, the client decided that it's very important to use the $cashtag identifier, and didn't want to use the hashtag, no matter what; this initial solution was recommended by a team member, but, he didn't like it at all.

Recommend solution : parse the feed of every logged in user, every hour, and determine eligible posts for rewards, instead of using the global twitter, tweet search API, we query every logged in profile, every hour, taking into account, we need to award points for activity, up to 72 hours before logging in initially on the website, and after that, run the twitter query to get individual user tweets in an optimal fashion, to avoid getting the same tweet twice ( optimize credits usage )

Recommended Solution:

• Hourly User Feed Parsing: Parse the feed of every logged-in user every hour to identify eligible posts for rewards.
• Retroactive Point Allocation: Award points for user activity up to 72 hours prior to initial website registration.
• Optimized Twitter Query: Implement targeted Twitter queries for individual user tweets after the initial 72-hour period to avoid duplicate data and optimize credit usage.

Authentication System:

• Created an authentication system using the Solana blockchain.
• Users can link their Solana wallet to their account for secure and decentralized verification.

NFT Multiplier System:

• Implemented a mechanism to check wallet balances for NFTs every 2 hours.
• Multipliers are activated based on NFT ownership.
• Automated validation of NFT ownership and application of multipliers.

Admin Panel:

• Added admin panel functionality to manually adjust user multipliers.
• Provides administrators with control over user reward settings.

Multipliers

• 3x points for holding an iCrate.
• 5x points for purchasing the NFT presale.
• 10x points for holding both an iCrate and a presale NFT.

Subber

• 1.25x for holding a Freakz or 1 Rare or 3 Classic NFTs.
• 1.5x for holding 2 Rare or 6 Classic NFTs.
• 2x for holding 1 Legendary or 3 Rare or 10 Classic NFTs.

Stacking Rules

• Allowed stacking between Droids and Subber NFTs for increased rewards.
• Stacking within multiple Subber NFT combinations is not permitted.

The multiplier was awarded, on any GamiPress point award events, based on the user wallet holdings.

• 271 users have been registered on the first day.
• All Activity has been tracked correctly, and all points where awarded in ~1h after interaction.
• Twitter followers have rebounded, instead of losing followers, the account has started gaining followers again.

• 16,893 registered users
• 21,699 total twitter followers
• over 1 million unique tweets stored in the database, all done by registered users ( we've exausted the twitter API limits ).

• User restrictions were implemented for accounts with 50+ followers and older than 30 days, to prevent bots from registering, as much as possible.
• Identified and resolved API rate limit issues, while also configuring Cloudflare for DDoS protection upon receiving access. Ongoing communication ensured the user was updated on progress and solutions for additional reported issues.
• Tweets sync delayed to every 24 hours instead
• Tweets Likes sync delayed to every 48 hours instead
• Client has purchased more twitter API credits.

User Interface Upgrades:

• Upgraded the user experience by implementing square buttons within the wallet interface, promoting intuitive navigation.
• Repositioned the redeem coupon button to the right side for enhanced accessibility and usability.

Multiplier System Integration:

• Established a filter dedicated to bulk awards based on user multipliers, allowing the system to efficiently distribute points based on user engagement.
• Developed a live-preview logging system, monitoring batch executions with a size of 100 users to ensure accurate and timely rewards distribution.

Behind the Scenes Development:

• Reset all user points and implemented a revamped method for point calculation to facilitate the new point system.
• Established a new approach for calculating Twitter follower multipliers and rectified a specific user's excessively high multiplier.

At this moment, the website had 27,725 registered users, and more coming in, especially bots, we've been using the Twitter API key, to validate the accounts before registering them, by checking the follower count & registration.

Twitter Verification System:

• Implemented a system utilizing multiple, rotating Twitter apps for user registration verification, ensuring a robust process during high traffic periods.
• Established a fallback mechanism to automatically switch to alternative apps if one encounters limitations, guaranteeing uninterrupted verification.

Addressing Login Issues and Enhancements:

• Tackled reported login issues stemming from high volumes of failed attempts by cycling through multiple Twitter apps to circumvent rate limiting.
• Resolved a point awarding issue in the Gamipress code, restoring functionality for users.
• Successfully implemented a solution to prevent login disruptions caused by Twitter rate limiting.
• Explored further improvements and potential future endeavors for the client's platform through collaborative discussions.

Rotating Twitter Apps for Registration Verification

• Implemented a system for cycling through multiple Twitter apps for registration verification.
• Each app is used to verify follower count and account age.
• If one app fails, the system attempts verification with the next available app.
• Up to three apps can be cycled through if necessary to complete verification.
• Multiple credentials storage is implemented for security.
• The system is currently limited to registration verification checks but can be expanded in the future.

The client was feeling like, the project was loosing momentun, because he has gained only 435 additional followers today.

The client looked for getting more elements to the project, specifically something in the Tap2Earn space, which was getting momentun on Telegram apps.

The application was also tracking all the user tweeting constantly, which proved to be very expensive in terms of $ spent on the Twitter API; an hard limit on how many points a user could earn daily has been set in place ( after users have an earned a specific amount of points, no more daily checks on their tweets would've been done ).

User Registration & Play Flow

• Connect by using a Telegram APP, where the user pressed a button to start the game
• The user is automatically logged in, when using the game through the telegram interface, ready to play.
• The game leverages the GamiFi concept, allowing players to earn $DROIDS tokens through gameplay.
• Planned a referral system where players can acquire additional tokens by sharing the game with friends.
• Promotion of the $DROIDS NFT & iCrates through the game, ocasionally at the end screen, after the user death.

Implemented a dynamic points multiplier system based on player progress. Multiplier increases as the player surpasses specific point thresholds:

• Past 10 points: +2 multiplier
• Past 20 points: +5 multiplier
• Past 50 points: +10 multiplier
• Past 200 points: +20 multiplier
• Past 500 points: +25 multiplier
• Past 1000 points: +50 multiplier
• Past 2000 points: +75 multiplier
• Past 3000 points: +100 multiplier
• Past 5000 points: +200 multiplier

Coupon generation, on farm website, through API

• Implemented a system for generating redeemable coupons in the Flappy Droids game (flappy.outcastdroids.ai).
• Users can generate coupon codes that can be redeemed on the Outcast Droids farm (farm.outcastdroids.ai).
• Coupon value is based on the user's available points in the Flappy Droids game.
• Points remain on the user's Flappy Droids account after generating a coupon.
• Users can only generate one coupon at a time, preventing multiple coupon creation for the same points.
• A "redeemable amount" is displayed alongside the user's total score, indicating the points available for coupon generation.
• Multipliers are awarded upon coupon redemption on the Outcast Droids farm.

Implement a bonus multiplier system based on NFT collections. Each NFT in a specific collection contributes to the multiplier:

🥉1 NFT: 1.5x multiplier

🥈2 NFTs: 2x multiplier

🥇3 or more NFTs: 2.5x multiplier

Challenges & Solutions

• As the response is done in an async manner, due to the decentralized nature of the requests to the Gaimin network, plus the fact that, certain requests can take up to 30 seconds in order to be completed, the Enlivy team has came with a design approach, that would fill in this gap for the users.
