friend dot token

3 min read

an experiment to see if i can get a social graph working with content monetization purely using tokens

todo list

  • create mint needs to work fine
  • put some metadata on the token
  • let user set the metadata which needs to be on the token
  • mint more tokens
  • ability for us the platform to mint more tokens for the user ( token 2022 )
  • query the tokens on their account and let them choose one which u have mint authority towards

making $SOUL possible

  • simple sign up with backend api ( connect wallet + username )
  • create mint / mint new tokens / request tokens from others ( after paying a fee )
  • access other people’s articles if you hold their token, or else tell them to buy

create mint:

after login, allow them to create a token mint properties:

  • owner: connected wallet
  • amount: user selected * 10 ** decimals
  • mintauthority: owner
  • freezeauthority: owner

mint tokens:

  • allow them to mint tokens to their wallet
  • allow them to mint tokens to their friends’ wallet
  • allow friends to ask them for extra tokens

later:

  • they can mint tokens to send to users or just store it themselves too
  • other users can offer to buy some of their tokens for money
    • offer upto 1sol / token
    • wants to buy upto 100 tokens
  • gated chat and gated posts and gated voting ( above x tokens )

hmm, the structure is very different, and im figuring out how the invokations and shit work in react like useMutation etc

but yeah im slowly getting it to work

  • connect wallet
  • create mint if there’s no mint already
  • find mint if it already exists
    • how do i query that?
  • post content on profile ( optionally gate )
  1. connect wallet first
  • done
  1. create mint if there’s no mint already
  • check if they already have a token which they have access to mint and ownership over
  • if they do, let them use it as their primary token
  • do we store it?
  • let me just get that first
  • maybe we can store that offchain - their preferred token mint
  • or else also let them mint
  • i think first im going to make this mint option
  • then we can show the options

setting up nextjs and solana wallet stuff wtf why is this so painful

18 Jan 24 what’s the fastest way i can get a scaffold for nextjs frontend?

i saw a create-solana-dapp somewhere, lemme test that out real quick

i basically need the following

  • can just use wallets for now, no need abstraction

  • allow setting of a username ( store it offchain w the addy )

  • allow user to upload blog to arweave

  • also mint a token before they do their first blog or actually during onboarding itself

  • interaction with wallets

  • tailwind / some ui library for quick ui testing

  • typescript

bruv create-solana-dapp is PERFECTO

next steps:

  • create transaction for
    • create token mint with the necessary details
    • set mintauthority to program address, so that you can mint more at will when users pay for the content 😈

yes, security bug because i hold the key, but but but but but but - who cares 💀

4:20 am wooh

a bunch of nextjs shit and ⭐ figuring it out

im not in flow 👎 i want my work days bruv

24 Jan 24 hi 2:49 pm going to break the process down and start devving

also i need to invert this shit, so from now i will be adding things to the top instead of the bottom
