Crypto Ark a custodial social platform with fundraising/crypto sending abilities

Crypto Ark a custodial social platform with fundraising/crypto sending abilities - Lemmy.World

The core idea: crypto transactions shouldn’t be a separate step from using a social platform. When you sign up, custodial wallets for LTC, BTC, and DOGE are automatically created for your account - no seed phrases, no setup. Deposits and withdrawals go straight to/from that wallet, minus miner and platform fees. That wallet is wired into two features that actually use it: Fundraisers: create a fundraiser and receive Crypto directly to your platform wallets. Donors send from their own wallet aka platform balance. Transactions are onchain and visible on the fundraiser page. Doners also control miner fees too!! Direct messages: send Crypto easily while messaging someone. Same wallet, same balance - no switching context or copying addresses. Use inbuilt percent buttons and the miner fee slider for as much control as possible!! Address relay: fundraisers and message tip flows generate fresh addresses per transaction. These act as relays only - they never hold funds, everything routes back to the stable registration wallet. Everything else: communities, posts, comments, karma/trust/profile ratings, mod tools, NSFW controls, anon posts and fundraisers, PGP key slot for profiles, status monitoring/help, percent buttons & fee control along with reporting options for everything a user could post!!! On moderation: we’ve put real effort into harm reduction. Automatic and manual content moderation runs continuously, CSAM detection and removal is active 24/7, there’s also a dedicated officer panel for authorized personnel to review reported and admin-removed content. The officer panel is built but not yet active (if theirs no users theirs no need :/) - access will require specific clearance and authorization when it goes live. Current state: LTC only in early access! - BTC and DOGE require their own stable nodes so they’re disabled for now. Being upfront: wallets are custodial, the platform holds the keys. Withdrawals are available anytime. We Would appreciate feedback on anything at all even if people go ham posting. Theirs still definitely some bugs scattered around so if anyone finds any bugs/issues/fee discrepancy’s contact: [email protected] [[email protected]]

Finally, we’ve managed to shove crypto directly into social media interaction itself. If only there was some way to shove AI into it. Maybe add some NFT’s while you’re at it?

Good point! NFTs are actually on the radar, realistically around the 1000 user mark once the infrastructure justifies the node costs and integration work.

Right now it’s early access, LTC is the only working coin while BTC and DOGE are pending their own dedicated nodes. The reason each coin needs its own node (public or private) is so that the server syncs directly to the actual on-chain balance, which overwrites any calculation drift/bugs and handles deposit detection automatically. NFTs would almost certainly need the same or a similar setup.

The codebase is sitting at around 23k lines so new feature integrations like NFTs, BTC and DOGE nodes will probably need external help at this point. For now the priority is real-world concurrency testing with actual users doing whatever they want - that’s something i can’t really simulate. Everything currently in place is stable, secure, and backing up the user db every minute so downtime is minimal.

Ps i would put AI in it maybe for messaging or support reasons but i doubt at this stage it’d be of any use, I’m also self funding this at the moment with the tech i have AI isn’t feasible id need users/funding for more ram and servers (since ill likely scale up!) I’ll probably think about integrating AI around that 1000 user mark aswell since that should be enough to provide secure funding and pay workers too! Plus by then their should be a use for it.
