At Ixian, we don't just service AI. We build it. Congrats to partner @bestape for using our @cheerbotme platform to win @mynoraai's Robot + AI + Contract Award at @ethglobal NYC! An on-chain robot for supporting performances. A story about Cheerbot's history and the details of our win🧵👇 The Cheerbot platform brings Ixian's @SeedTreeDB legaltech to life! Think of it like comparing SeedTree programming to Charles Goldfarb's SGML. At Ixian, we see the Document Object Model (DOM) as a game-changer for legaltech, much like papyrus and pens once were: chatgpt.com/share/68a619bc-a….) Cheerbot started as a solution for artists to monetize livestreams, sparked during COVID. We watched @dustinseymour perform at House of Blues with no audience due to shutdowns, while platforms like Twitch take up to 40% of tips. Cheerbot aims to: 1. Be a fun "cheerleader" assistant for livestreamers. 2. Send 100% of fan tips directly to creators, disintermediating tipping. 3. Offer SBC open-source tech with GPIO extensibility. It uses @ethereum public goods RPC calls—check how it works here with an early timestamp: youtube.com/watch?v=QK86LZjW…. The #ETHBOT design from the Pluriverse Comic shaped Cheerbot’s look, inspiring Kyle during his time at @RaidGuild with @owocki: xitter.cf/owocki/status/15678750… Kyle revived this project for his @MEGAZuzalu residency, developing the ERC-7827 standard (eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7…), bridging web devs to Ethereum RPC. ERC-7827 recognizes ERC-721's "tokenURI" method product-market fit as well as the need to onboard REST developers onto RPC. ERC-7827 with Cheerbot won us the mynora.ai bounty, with @chimeraDefi creating a working draft of it at a hackathon using NORA. Post-MegaZu, Cheerbot shone at @EFDevcon with @Shakaleikaumaka and OSO, using a @poapxyz API to track @ensdomains claiming POAPs. Cheerbot is a cosmolocal vending machine, as @NickSzabo4 envisioned, and it's back through Ixian-founded @make__diy in @ProsperaGlobal. The 3D printer has been touring around the world, soon it'll have a stronger local-side presence in the DUNA Tower, thanks to @infinitacity. Last week at ETHGlobal NYC, we built an ECOBOT chassis with a 3D printer during the hackathon! youtu.be/l-lMHln_sLc?si=W_a9… The logistics still need refinement, but we successfully showed that the ECOBOT can be built as a weekend activity. People loved the Cheerbot! xitter.cf/ssh_nkar/status/195710… We can't wait for the next hackathon! At Ixian, we believe everyone has the right to be of service on the Internet, not just consume. Open software and hardware, such as single-board computers, GPIO and, eventually, RISC-V, will empower people to be of service on the Internet. With Cheerbot, the sci-fi becomes reality, building what was first imagined. ECOBOT still has fake tires that at some point will be upgraded by us or whoever gets to it first. Because Cheerbots are a public good and open source. Get involved by joining the Cheerbot Buyers Club here: t.me/+dV8FM0Sg-K9lMTBh More at 2minutepitch.cheerbot.org 🤖💚
