The Wenlaunch Bot

Wenlaunch bot is our custom multipurpose Discord bot built specifically for the needs of Wenlaunch, traders and project owners. It is deeply integrated with our platform website wenlaunch.info. It has several important and exciting functions. This article will review and showcase its capabilities and highlight potential upcoming innovations.

We will be talking about the following features of the bot:

• Wenlaunch bot automatically sends new submissions published on wenlaunch.info to Discord servers where it’s hosted
• The Discord command *upcoming shows the next 5 upcoming projects, with dates, prices and links
• The *upcoming message box contains a ‘Featured project’ banner for increased visibility
• It has commands that allow displaying detailed info about projects in the database
• It has a Voting feature where users can voice their opinions by upvoting or downvoting upcoming projects on the list
• It aggregates NFT floor prices from various NFT marketplaces

The Deep Dive

While the launch calendar on the website is the first point of contact with our team and platform, Wenlaunch bot is responsible for spreading information to numerous Discord groups, giving new projects a potential exposure to 20 000+*** Discord users. Without further ado, let’s dive into what this unique tool is capable of.

First, Wenlaunch bot monitors submissions to Wenlaunch. Every time there is a new project added to our platform, the bot picks it up and sends an embed message, containing basic information and links, to a dedicated Discord channel. This can be done in multiple servers at the same time. In fact, this information can be sent to tens and hundreds of Discord servers concurrently. This gives unique exposure to a new project and the ability to be seen in many servers by a wide audience.

New project submission on the website automatically sent to Discord as an embed message.

Second, using the *upcoming command, the bot is instructed to retrieve and display the 5 closest upcoming projects. It shows their basic info, launch time, launch prices and links in an embed message. The command can be called in any channel that the server admin gives permission to.

Third, the *upcoming embed message contains a ‘Featured’ section, which is an extra ad space that is displayed every time the command is called. Imagine a billboard that people see every time they scroll past this message, which could have been called up by anyone else.

Fourth, the *featured command displays a detailed message with all info for the project that is currently on the promo banner. The command can be called in any channel that the server admin gives permission to.

Fifth, the *wenlaunch command can be used to quickly display a short message about any project in the Wenlaunch database, detailing its launch date and time. The user must know the name of the project and its correct spelling as is in the database. The command can be called in any channel that the server admin gives permission to.

Sixth, the voting feature is available from the *upcoming page. Clicking the ‘Vote’ button opens up a tab, where users can voice their opinion on the listed projects. Favourite projects can be upvoted and lower-quality ones downvoted. The votes are immediately synced into the database and shown in the list. The voting feature enables the whole community to show their sentiment on individual upcoming projects, help investors decide what to research and potentially protect members from suspicious projects. Voting is limited to 5 votes / user / 24hours. Votes are counted throughout ALL servers that host Wenlaunch bot. User cooldown also applies across servers.

Finally, the command *flooravalanche takes any Avalanche NFT contract as input and searches popular AVAX marketplaces for floor prices of the collection. These are then displayed conveniently in an embed message. The command can be called in any channel that the server admin gives permission to.

All the above commands are available as Discord slash commands as well.

What is next

As part of future innovations, we are currently developing additional features such as Bot Statistics, Interaction with Wenlaunch and Solana Expansion.

We are looking into best ways to measure and provide data on the Wenlaunch bot’s usage, its presence and reach. This includes number of command calls, frequency of interaction, number of servers where it is present, number of Discord members in those servers.

We are also looking into ways to make Wenlaunch bot interact with the platform as well, instead of only pulling info from it. We would like to push the voting results to the website or enable project editing from Discord.

We will implement a SOL floor price function in the nearest future, and a full Solana fork of the bot is on the roadmap ahead.
