Stake $TOWNS to unlock more features

“A Boost-like Donation System, Please!" I run a pretty active community on Towns, and recently, a few members asked how they could support the space financially. That got me thinking… what if Towns had a donation feature — something like Discord’s Server Boost? Let users contribute, and in return, give them something visual — a supporter badge, maybe even subtle perks. It would make backing your favorite Towns easy and rewarding. Adds sustainability and status. A win-win.

Peek into Town / AI spam / Show Tips in Activity / Contribution Tracking +more

1) Subscription. Right now, many Towns feel like black boxes. It would be awesome if users could peek inside for a few days to see if a town is worth it. This could really help the best towns shine and separate the top ones from the not-so-great ones. Maybe users could get this chance for a small monthly fee. 2) AI Spam Monitoring. This is a big deal and should get sorted out through the Bot Marketplace (probably). 3) Tips UX. It would be super helpful to track where tips are sent and received, maybe in the activity wallet tab or a new section specifically for that. 4) Recovery Tool for ETH. This is a serious concern for Web 2.5 users. We know at least 15 people who have lost money due to network issues, so we need to address this, especially with Privy. 5) Network. It’d be great if the Towns community had an easy way to find people with specific skills and connect with them. This would really add value and make being part of Towns more practical. Something between linkedin and X (jobs), but “Web3 Trendy”. 6) Contribution Tracking. Members should be able to keep tabs on their contributions, maybe with a dashboard that shows suggestions, reactions, and stats like tips or towns payments. 7) Web 2.5 nightmare: - Speed (this is the most obvious and has already been discussed 100 times). - Onboarding could involve joining 3-5 Free towns that match your interests, letting you dive into a shared vibe. Thank you.

NFT Marketplace

Since it's possible to buy a ticker directly with the embedded wallet, why not add the same functionality for NFT purchases

Giveaway system

Given that each user has a wallet on the application, it would be interesting to create a giveaway system. When the giveaway creator creates a giveaway, he issues these conditions (time, amount to be donated, gated role, etc.) once the giveaway is completed (thanks to an automated and decentralized draw system native to the application) the money is sent to the winner automatically. This would make giveaways more accessible and more secure, because today, let's be honest, draws are very often carried out on third-party sites whose algorithms are created by a single, centralized entity. Here, the draw could be decentralized (thanks to network nodes in particular) and then sent automatically to the winner(s).

Folders for Organizing Towns

I’m in like… 20 Towns. Probably more. My sidebar is chaos. Scrolling endlessly just to find the one I need is starting to feel like Web1. Folders. Pinned Towns. Search. I’ll take anything. Let me organize. Towns is building the future of digital spaces — but without some basic UX tools, we’re still stuck in the past.

VOICE CHAT VIDEO & LIVE

hopefully this is intersting

Help Me Migrate My Community

Love Towns. Love the vision. But I’ve got a 2k+ member community on Discord, and moving over feels like herding cats. Here’s what would really help: An auto-invite bridge from Discord Profile sync (pic, name, maybe even roles?) Some onboarding flow to make the transition smooth If Towns wants more communities jumping ship from Web2, easing that transition is key.

Proposal for a User-Created Emoji/Sticker Trading System

I’d like to share one of my ideas for expanding the Town ecosystem. Most chat platforms offer features like paid emojis and stickers, but users usually have to pay the platform directly or subscribe to a monthly plan just to use them for a limited time. However, in Town, I believe it could be possible for users to create their own emojis and stickers based on their ideas, set prices freely instead of sticking to a fixed price model like other apps, and trade them freely on-chain. If this system were implemented, it could make Town chats much more lively and expressive, leading to a more active and vibrant community overall. What do you think about this idea?
