Abstract

Over the last year, our suite of Open Source, No Code tools has seen over 250,000 transactions generated. We want to expand our toolset to focus on areas such as User Onboarding and Rewarding Node Runners. All of the tools, including the website will be fully open source and shared with the ecosystem. We have received xGov Grants for periods 1 and 2 and have followed through on all our commitments.

Team

The team at Thurstober Digital Studios (xGov Periods 1 and 2 Awardees):

• Joseph (LoafPickle) - Project Manager. I have 10 years of Project Management experience working in NYC on large scale construction projects. In addition, I am a long timer in the Algorand NFT Space and have been helping develop utility projects on the chain since May 2021. I am currently the Head of Strategy and Community for Thurstober Digital Studios.
• ByKewel - Tool Developer. Kewel is another Algorand NFT long timer that was the first to create wallet holding, sales, and listing discord bots that projects were able to incorporate into the ecosystem. They also built the first on-chain DAO tool back in February 2022.
• Jenna (thurstober) - Project Lead. Creator of the Thurstober Digital Studios horse racing series that has seen 1.5 million races initializes and is currently expanded to three blockchains.
• Andrew (stablehand) - Lead Developer. Over 20 years developing custom solutions for Fortune 500 companies in the United States.

Experience with Algorand

All of us have been in the Algorand NFT Space since May 2021. Thurstober Digital Studios has built a full horse racing utility series and a suite of open source, no code tools with The Laboratory (Formerly Evil Tools). We have experience working with the SDK, a deep technical knowledge of ARCs, and are node runners.

Present Proposal

1. NFD Vault Support for Airdrop Tool (New Tool)
   This new tool is focused on the new DeFi trend of having people buy an NFD segment and airdropping to those segment holders. By allowing vault support, this allows for newcomers to the eco to not need to worry about the opt-in process. This tool will be Free to Use.
2. Claims and Trades (New Tool/Repo)
   This new tool is a missing piece to the Algorand ecosystem. The ability to have an app like a discord bot link to a public claim site is currently non-existent. This will help improve the onboarding experience as no one will need to manually opt into an asset. This tool will be Free to Use.
3. Non-Rarity Trait Support for our Simple Mint and Update Tools (Tool Upgrade)
   This is an upgrade to two tools we have already built. This tool Charges 0.1A to Mint and 0.05A to Upgrade.
4. Node Running Filter for MultiMint Asset Holder Lookup (Tool Upgrade)
   This new tool will filter out anyone who isn’t running a node, hopefully incentivizing node running even further. This tool will be Free to Use.
5. Asset Details for Wallet Enhancer (Tool Upgrade)
   This tool is will be Free to Use.
6. Simple Bulk Mint (New Tool)
   This new tool will allow for users to select the ARC3/19/69, enter the IPFS CID for the collection, Name and other details. This Tool Charges 0.1A to Mint.
7. Tools Homepage and The Laboratory Redesign (New Site/Page Upgrade)
   We want to help consolidate all the information from the No-Code tools we have built and have everything in one place for anyone new to the ecosystem to discover.

Deliverable

The deliverables for this are simple; they’ll be open source tools. You’ll be able to check the status of the tools by using the tools tab at https://thurstober.com/

Future Blueprint

Once our Proposal hits 50% we will start building some of these tools. We understand how much the community needs these and hopes that our goodwill effort will propel this proposal past the finish line.

Benefits for the community

The benefits are already being realized. Since then, we have creators thanking us for providing them the tools we wish we had back in the early days of Algorand NFTs.

Additional information

We had been approved in the first and second xGov Round to build more tools. The tools have since been completed and made open source. We also provide creator guides that allow new creators to get a lay of the ecosystem to help the onboarding experience. You can find them here: https://medium.com/@loafpickle
