Tired of the watered-down derivative copycat projects, building something fun again. We need fun ecosystems and for devs to actually build ecosystems again

Telegram PvP gambling of any token— skeleton creation in process for the bot. This is what I'm going with. There needs to be actual fun utility not predictive and sentiment bots, AI agents, or whatever else
User registration for bot done -> can add to groups/private chats + generate unique user IDs + wallets through bot (used later in the actual pvp betting framework)
Payment flow done (v1.0 of this)

Was between two different choices:

1. User has their own bot-generated wallet; this would require users to send tokens they want to bet there and also fund it with ETH (for automatic sending of tokens to individual challenge wallets (each challenge is a separate address)).

2. User simply sends tokens they want to bet to the challenge wallet directly.

Each one of the options has verification checks, but the first one requires 2x eth transaction fees so I opted for the latter. This’ll be tested for a bit and see how user-friendly it is
Added both of the previous payment flow options for better usability
Full ERC token integration + capability completed users can PvP bet ANY ERC token in the bot. Going to get Solana integrated soon
Also finalized provably fair hashing exports for verification so users can ensure that all number-focused games (such as the currently-available one(s)) are 100% randomly generated
Next up on the to-do list is:

- full group/channel poker & blackjack games with the Gambull token betting system at its core (bet/stake/gamble any token)

- Chainlink price oracle integration so users don’t need to bet the same tokens and can do 1:1 equivalencies (such as $100 of one token bet against $100 USDC for example)

- double-or-nothing and triple-or-nothing feature addition
We desperately just need some fun utility in the space again rather than a derivative of a derivative of a derivative of the same stuff
Added well-known tokens section (on ETH) for quick betting

Adding Solana capability + Solana well-knowns is on the to-do list as well
Everything is wrapped up and working successfully finally 🫡 will give the final work synopsis here soon which includes bot flow, usability, guides, etc
Make crypto fun again 🤝 next up is new PvP gambling games, group gambling (poker, blackjack, text-based quest games in-channel are my priorities)
Improved bot flow and quality-of-life for the Gambull core bot -> easy hyperlink clicking, easy group integration, quick wager entering, and a few other updates. Been mainly working on the proper branding for this and finally got around to building the site out (https://www.gambull.xyz)
Now time to get around to two main modules:

1. The first PvG (player-versus-group) game! I don't want to go the simple route of blackjack or poker for the *first* ever PvG Gambull game, I want it to be a bit more broad so that hundreds of people can play simultaneously rather than just a typical group of 6-12. I have a few cool ideas for this, will relay more over the days.

2. New set of PvP gambling games!
Challenge completed screen, withdrawal, provably fair verification etc
