@emanueledpt Perhaps you could consider BANKR.
Did you claim this token?

If it was you, you can disclose it — the BANKR community will help you

Sharing thoughts on handling Bankr token communities, as someone who is now getting tagged as a good example for devs to follow.
-- How it started --
First, congrats. You finally have eyes on your project. People are excited about your work and they want to be a part of it.
I also know it feels suspicious for random people online to say you've earned a bunch of money. Early on I was clear in my replies that the tokens were not mine - they were launched by some unknown person using my brand. I tried to shut it down.
But the attention kept coming, and it opened up some amazing opportunities.
I'm crypto native and had been thinking about making an equity-like token integrated with the product that could be used to align users and business partners. Over three days I met with three different token launchpads. The opportunity to have these meetings, and their optimistic tone, was strongly influenced by the traction of the community tokens that I was actively disavowing.
But by that third day, the community token had a lot of traction. And people from the community were genuinely adding value -- tagging me and promoting my project in constructive ways all across twitter.
So I decided to acknowledge that community token, and hold off indefinitely on making the one I was planning.
I also spent an entire day engaging with the fast growing token community. I talked explained how my product works, and asked for help on the things it needed immediately. I also clarified that product and partnerships were my key focus.
The outcome: Harassment dropped to 0, and now I have hundreds of people working to make this project succeed. My read is that the harassment came from understandable desperation and uncertainty -- holders are exposed to significant risk when they don't know if they'll be welcomed or shunned. They are excited about your work and want to help, but also they will lose their money if you don't let them.
Resolving that uncertainty in a fair and reasonable way turns the harassment into a constructive tailwind for your project. Now the community knows if they help you, they will also benefit from the asymmetric upside of their community token.
I was really surprised by how many people showed up out of nowhere to help in meaningful ways. This is the power of economic alignment through a token. There's now hundreds of people who have exposure to the success of my project, and are trying to make it succeed.
It would normally cost a lot to get hundreds of people to try to make your work succeed -- but with the Bankr community tokens those same people also paid around $600k in trading fees, around half of which I can use however I want.
That's an insanely good deal for your project if you're able to navigate the awkward bits.
Miraculously it's also an insanely good deal for the community, since they get the upside of the community token. The return profile here is similar to venture where almost all tokens do poorly, but the ones that do well have unimaginably high returns.
-- Going forward --
I'll keep the community updated with what I'm doing for the project, and invite them to share their perspectives on key decisions. It might be hard for devs to realize this, but many members want to see how the sausage is made and get experience with the kind of decision making you are doing -- it's intrinsically exciting to be involved in discussions around a project that has a shot at being massively successful, and it's an opportunity for the community to build those skills themselves so they can later on be like the dev that they're aspiring to learn from now. This was something I loved about DAO forums and Discords back in the day. It's amazing to have grown from being a community member myself in so many DAOs, to now running an exciting project of my own.
The community has gotten to a size where I sadly can't possibly respond to everything. I'm still reading everything but not sure if that will be possible as it continues to grow.
I'm testing using Grok to summarize all the perspectives you share on key issues, and the contributions you're making across X.
For devs, this is the kind of unfair advantage that will make your project win. And you can bootstrap this by embracing a strong token community.
@PINTO03091 Sir, we really like your project. Many people in our community are following it closely. We've already raised $7,000 in funding for your project.
You can look into some relevant success stories.

I’ve talked to many developers about this topic recently.
A lot of people want to contribute to open source, but the biggest issue is always "money."
They have families to support and bills to pay, but in reality, less than 0.1% of open source developers actually receive sponsorships.
Even with my visibility, the total sponsorships I’ve received over the past few months is just $250. (I am deeply grateful to those who supported me.)
Other than that, it’s mostly just DGX rentals for research, and I’m covering the rest of my living expenses with my X Creator payouts.
Other amazing open source developers are having an even harder time than this.
Historically, the open source community has avoided talking about "money," but that exact culture has been holding the ecosystem back from growing.
I don’t like bringing up sensitive topics either, but I realized someone has to say it so we can solve this fundamental problem.
While thinking about this, I’ve been watching @bankrbot for about a month.
I realized that if its fee distribution system is used "correctly," it could actually enable funding for these open source developers.
Of course, I know many people have negative views on crypto. But for open source to win, we absolutely need a way to solve this core issue.
Open source will overcome these challenges and win in the end.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

@baba5246 Someone from the bankr community launched a coin with fees directed to you. you can use the fees towards building the platform or even integrate a token into your tech CA:https://t.co/FBhKuFdcaE
https://t.co/PxkIi6rDsl this thread also explains a bit more.
hey founder of bankr here. i started building bankr in 2024, an agent to abstract the complexities of interacting with the blockchain via natural language.
now its that and a lot more. i'm convinced that as we enter this era of the one-person unicorn, tokens are the best way to bootstrap capital and attention for agents and agent adjacent businesses.
builders have already earned $10 million + in earnings through coins launched through bankr. the idea is simple.
> agent has a wallet
> agent earns fees
> agent pays for its own inference and dev costs
its a self-funding flywheel and we are building tools to align developers and their agents with traders, who play an important role in fee generation.
