The Crosswalk Telegram Bot is designed to enhance community engagement by rewarding meaningful participation and recognizing achievements within the Crosswalk ecosystem.
This bot transforms everyday interactions into measurable progress, allowing users to track and celebrate their journey.
Key Features
XP System: Each message earns users XP (Experience Points).
Levels increase based on accumulated XP, with higher levels requiring progressively more points to achieve.
This system encourages consistent engagement over time.
Daily Bonus: Users can claim a daily bonus using the /dailybonus command, providing a random XP boost to reward regular activity.
Achievements: Unlock achievements by reaching community milestones, such as sending a first message, maintaining activity for consecutive days, or reaching specific XP totals.
Achievements serve as milestones to celebrate user engagement.
Leaderboard: A dynamic leaderboard tracks top performers within the community.
Compete for a spot by engaging actively, leveling up, and unlocking achievements.
Stats Command: The /stats command displays individual user progress, including XP, level, daily bonuses claimed, and unlocked achievements, providing users with a personalized view of their engagement.
How It Works
Earning XP - Every message a user sends earns them 1 XP.
There’s a 2-second cooldown between XP rewards to ensure fair play and to encourage meaningful engagement rather than spam.
Leveling Up - Users progress through levels as they accumulate XP.
Each level requires more XP than the last, calculated using the following formula:
XPrequiredfornextlevel=10×(Level2)+10×Level+5XPrequiredfornextlevel=10×(Level2)+10×Level+5
For example:
Level 1 requires 25 XP
Level 2 requires 55 XP
Level 10 requires over 1100 XP
Daily Bonus - Users can claim a daily bonus once per day by typing /dailybonus.
The bonus grants a random amount of XP, making regular activity more rewarding.
Achievements - As users reach engagement milestones, they unlock achievements.
These milestones track unique aspects of user activity, from sending an initial message to maintaining consistent participation.
Achievements add an element of gamification to the experience, motivating users to reach new levels of activity.
Leaderboard - The /leaderboard command displays the top users by XP within the community, fostering friendly competition.
Options like /topdaily and /weeklyleaderboard allow users to view the day’s or week’s top performers.
Stats View - Users can check their individual progress with /stats, which shows:
Total XP: Accumulated XP points from all messages and bonuses
Current Level: Based on XP
Daily Bonuses Claimed: Number of daily bonuses collected
Achievements: List of unlocked milestones, showcasing the user’s journey
Technical Overview
The bot is built with a robust technical foundation to ensure high performance, reliability, and data integrity.
- Real-Time Processing: The bot processes every message in real time, logging XP gains and awarding achievements without delays. To ensure fair use, a 2-second cooldown is applied between message-based XP awards.
- Database Architecture: The bot utilizes a SQLite database, chosen for its lightweight, efficient handling of data across a growing user base. All data related to XP, achievements, daily bonuses, and leaderboards is stored securely within this database, allowing for quick access and scalability.
- Error Handling: Built-in error handling ensures that the bot remains functional even during unexpected issues. If a command or operation encounters an error, the bot retries the action, ensuring users do not lose any XP or achievements.
- Backup and Recovery: To safeguard user data, the bot includes an automated backup system. All XP, achievements, and activity logs are regularly backed up, so user progress is fully protected. In the event of a restart or update, all data is restored seamlessly, ensuring continuity for the community.
