About Crypto Link
Crypto Link is a multi-functional & multi-guild Discord bot serving as a bridge between the Stellar Ecosystem and Discord users. Being built ontop of the Stellar Blockchain, it utilizes the native token, Stellar Lumen (a.k.a XLM) and tokens issued on Stellar chain, allowing for execution of Peer to Peer transactions amongst users, monetization opportunities for Discord guild owners and project promotions/crowdfunding/ICOs activities at low costs for aspiring fintech-companies building with the help of Stellar.
Why on Discord?
From year 2016 - 2019 user registration count has gone up from 25 million to drastic 250 million with monthly active users set to 100 million and daily activity reaching 14 million users. More on statistics can be found in this article.
Beforementioned statistics, ease of Discord server creation, and support for bots, represent an enormous potential and opportunity for Stellar Ecosystem to gain additional exposure, and bring its unique characteristics of fast low-cost transactions and low-cost token creation to the masses.
Having that in mind, we have therefore set on the road to create Crypto Link Discord bot. Through its use and community onboarding, every Discord user and Discord server will be able to create and promote tokens on Stellar Network, execute on and off-chain p2p payments, and create full blown economy as they see fit for their daily community operations.
Due to Discord functionality use of CL is simple. Just by executing one line command bellow user can transfer to user 10 XLM.
