TipVerse

Tipverse

🚨 Problem Addressed In the creator economy, fans want to tip creators but face problems like: High gas fees on-chain (especially for small tips) Token incompatibility (tipper has a token the creator doesn’t accept) Slow settlement times No incentive to tip early or predict trending content Creators lose value due to token price volatility

💡 Tipverse Solution Tipverse is a decentralized tipping and engagement platform where: Tippers can use any token. Creators get paid in their chosen token, gaslessly, and instantly. A gamified reward system drives early engagement. Tipped tokens are price-protected via limit orders. Everything happens over state channels, enabling off-chain, real-time interactions with on-chain security.

🧾 Full Feature Set Breakdown

🎨 1. Content Posting by Creators Creators post rich media content (images, videos, blogs, etc.). Each post has a 24-hour tipping window. Creators select a preferred token to receive tips (e.g., ETH, USDC). Content is stored on IPFS/Ceramic with metadata linked on-chain.

💸 2. Tipping with Fusion+ Swap

Tippers can use any token they hold. 1inch Fusion+ automatically swaps it into the creator’s chosen token.

Swap is: Gasless (no cost to the tipper),

MEV-protected (no front-running), Limit-order optimized (better price efficiency). Off-chain via state channels — instant, no per-tip gas cost.

🧠 3. Tippers’ XP and Leaderboard Each tip gives XP points to the tipper. Early tips = more XP (via decay curve). A real-time leaderboard ranks top tippers by XP. Drives predictive tipping: tip early, tip wisely.

⚔ 4. Tippers' Battle (Prediction-Based Rewards) Top XP earners qualify for weekly/monthly Tippers’ Battles. Winners are those who tipped on posts that went viral (most tipped).

Rewards: Share of tipping pool revenue Mystery Boxes: NFTs, XP boosts, badges

🏆 5. Creator Battle Top “n” most-tipped posts after 24h enter Creator Battle window. Creators promote content for a final sprint. Winner earns: Top Creator NFT Badge Bonus tipping pool share

🧮 6. Decaying Rewards for Late Tippers XP rewards decay over time: Earlier tips = higher XP and rewards Late tips = less XP, smaller bonus Decay modeled via exponential/sigmoid curve — fair yet competitive.

🔄 7. Token Price Protection via Limit Orders Creator tokens monitored post-tipping. If token price drops, Tipverse auto-triggers 1inch Limit Order Protocol to: Convert token to stablecoin or better-valued token. Protects creator earnings from market volatility.

🏅 8. NFT Badges & Reputation System Earn on-chain NFT badges: Top Creator Viral Predictor Early Tipper Daily Streaker Badges are tradeable, profile-bound, and verifiable on-chain.

🧬 Unique Innovations

✅ State Channel Integration: Tippers fund once → tip many times off-chain → settle on-chain only at close — instant, gasless UX. ✅ Universal Token Swapping: Any token → any token tipping via Fusion+, with MEV protection and limit order optimization. ✅ Creator Reward Protection: Monitor token value → if volatile, auto-convert via limit order engine → preserve creator income. ✅ Gamified User Engagement: XP system, NFT badges, tipping battles, mystery boxes, and XP decay curves — makes tipping fun and competitive.

Tipverse is built using a monorepo architecture that includes a React.js frontend (styled with Tailwind CSS), a Node.js backend (handling XP logic, tipping pool, and battle rewards), and Solidity smart contracts for tipping, XP tracking, and minting NFT badges. Tipping is powered by 1inch Fusion+, enabling gasless swaps from any token into the creator’s preferred token type. To protect creator rewards from market volatility, we integrated the 1inch Limit Order Protocol, which automatically converts tokens if their value drops. Content metadata is stored securely on Firebase, while user engagement is gamified through a custom XP engine and on-chain NFT badge system. All components are developed and managed within a unified Turborepo monorepo, ensuring efficient development, testing, and deployment across the full stack.We used @1inch/Fusion+ and @1inch/LimitOrderProtocol as key partner technologies. @1inch/Fusion+ enabled gasless, MEV-protected token swaps, allowing users to tip with any token, which was seamlessly converted into the creator’s accepted token type — massively improving UX and eliminating token friction. @1inch/LimitOrderProtocol allowed us to protect creator rewards by automatically converting tipped tokens into stable assets when prices dropped, ensuring value stability.A key hack was combining instant tipping with price protection in a seamless, single transaction flow.
