SBT Minter telegram bot

[coalus]

Summary

A telegram bot that provides a user-friendly interface to interact with SBT minting to simplify the process of creating SBT awards.

Context

Right now is it a problem for organizers to create NFT awards for various events. They have to turn to third-party developers to solve this problem. Our task is to make solution, that will automates process of minting new SBT-awards!

Goals

We need to create a telegram bot, with such flows:

New collection flow:

• Bot asks user to upload the cover image
• Bot asks user to upload the collection image
• Bot asks user to enter the collection name
• Bot asks user to enter the collection description
• Bot asks user to enter the item name (it will be the same for all items + #index)
• Bot asks user to enter the item description
• Bot asks user to upload the item image (image property in NFT metadata)
• Bot asks user to upload a file containing addresses (separated by newlines) that should receive NFTs
• Bot uploads images to storage, creates collection and item manifests and uploads them, then creates a ton:// link that send necessary amount of TON to wallet of the telegram bot. Upon receipt of funds the wallet begins to mint SBT items

Existing collection flow:

• Bot asks user to enter the existing collection address
• Bot checks if the collection exists and is compatible with the bot
• Bot shows how the previous batch of items was minted (name, description, image), asks the user if the items should stay the same
• If not, bot asks the user to enter new item name, new item description, and new item image
• Bot asks user to upload a file containing addresses (separated by newlines) that should receive NFTs
• Bot uploads item image to storage (if it was changed), creates item manifest (if any item properties were changed) and uploads it, then creates a ton:// link that will send necessary amount of TON to the wallet of the telegram bot. Which, in turn, begins to mint new items.

Superadmin flow:

• /add - add new admin, that will be able to use bot
• /list - see all admins of the bot
• /delete - delete an admin by his ID

Use s3 as file storage(that will be paid by TON Foundation)

Deliverables

• Create well-working SBT Minter telegram bot

Definition of Done

• Hosted & tested telegram bot
• Code reviewed and hosted on github

Oriental Release Date

3 weeks from start of the development

Reward

• Standart TON Footstep SBT
• 2000$ in TON

Total: $2000

Ready to work on this footstep with @krau5

Positive

[SwiftAdviser]

LGTM! Let's start!

[Gusarich]

What do you think about creating web-interface instead of a Telegram bot?
@coalus @krau5

Also, 2500 is a bit too much for a bot IMO

[coalus]

@Gusarich, we have already started development of the telegram bot =( As an option let's consider if we will add an additional client part in the form of a web application(in addition to the bot)

[SwiftAdviser]

Initially, it was a request from the TF team to TON Tech. In our case, we are focusing on the bot as a quick solution for the minting problem.

It could be possible to create a web interface. However, there is no request from the DevRel team to do that today.

[Gusarich]

Okay, then let's approve it!
Hoping to see a web interface in future too.

[coalus]

Change amount of the reward to 2000$.

[delovoyhomie]

Good luck!
Don't forget to write here sometimes about your current progress.

[Naltox]

LGTM!

[ProgramCrafter]

I request bot code to be published under MIT license so that others could freely adapt it for their own needs.

Use s3 as file storage(that will be paid by TON Foundation)

Why not ton-storage?

Good idea! I think we can use ton storage, instead of s3, but it will took a bit more time to integrate ton storage, if would compare it to s3.

[Gusarich]

Why not ton-storage?

@tvorogme do you know any good tools to work with it? ;)
I don't see any "marketplaces" for storage providers.. and no automated tools to safely use ton storage.

There are already library to communicate with ton storage from js, so it's not a big problem to use it

[Gusarich]

But you need to communicate with several providers.. and move files to new ones in case if some of them go offline

I think it's not problem if all files will be stored in TF supported servers

Why do we need several providers in our case? We can just launch 1 our provider and store files in it. (we already have 1 running provider, so it's not a problem at all)

[Gusarich]

I think I misunderstood the way you suggested to use the TON Storage.
If the storage provider will be held by TF, it'll be ok.

[coalus]

After talking with @SwiftAdviser , we came to the conclusion that it is better to choose s3 at the moment

[delovoyhomie]

@coalus, @krau5, how are footstep going?
What public repository is the work being done in so that I can track its progress?

[coalus]

Hey!!! Work is going on, we will finish asap, repo is private rn, will be opened by the end of the footstep

[coalus]

@delovoyhomie, i think this footstep is done
