The problem dGate solves

Monetizing and managing communities on popular platforms such as Discord, Telegram, and Slack can be challenging due to:

• Manual Payment Verification 🕵️‍♂️: Tracking and verifying payments manually is time-consuming and error-prone, hindering effective monetization.

• Invite Management 📩: Creating and sharing invite links manually after receiving payments is inefficient and can cause delays in granting access to content.

• Custom Tool Integration 🛠️: Adding custom tools to platforms like Discord requires significant technical expertise and effort, making it difficult for many users to enhance their community management.

Our solution simplifies these processes by providing a unified platform for:

• Automated Payment Processing 💸
• Streamlined Invite Creation 📧
• Easy Custom Tool Development with DAO Support 🤝

This approach reduces manual effort, minimizes errors, and improves overall community engagement.

Challenges I ran into

• Discord offers two types of authentication prefixes: Bearer and Bot. It was initially confusing to determine when to use each, but through trial and error, I was able to navigate the entire OAuth process successfully.
• The Discord OAuth2 login flow redirects users to the login page before returning them to the specified redirect URI. Restoring the user state to where the form left off posed a significant challenge, but I was able to find a solution.
