Inspiration

There are so many annoying keyboard warrior on the internet that spread misinformation or just negativity in general. If only I have an army of troller to feed them their own medicine.

What it does

TOAS is a Trolling-as-a-Service that provide trolling service for your target on X for a small NEAR token fee--currently free. Once you gave TOAS the target, it will read its post and come up with a troll message generated by Google Gemini 2.0. All the trolling message is then recorded in NEAR blockchain as proof-of-troll.

We also have troll-to-earn program where if the troll message got more than 100 likes and 50 shares, we will reward the user HOT token via HOT Omni SDK integration.

If that is not enough, we have Troll Lord mode where it will consistently troll the target 10 times (can be more but I am limited by Twitter free tier api).

In addition, if someone @mentions/reply TOAS, it will make a comeback post and follow them on X.

How I built it

Server side - Express.js Frontend - HTML, Javascript, Tailwind CSS Trolling service - Twitter API v2 Troll messages - Google Gemini 2.0 Proof-of-Troll - NEAR smart contract on js HOT token transaction - HOT Omni SDK

Challenges we ran into

Most bounty sponsor dev documentation is really lacking or not user friendly. There is also no tech support from sponsor for this hackathon which makes thing really challenging when trying to build on sponsor's platform.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Solo dev this in under 48 hours

What we learned

NEAR smart contract development is really easy. I think I will explore further beyond this hackathon.

What's next for TOAS

I hope will be able to continue building this or at least someone will help to further this project. I had made it open source. Some of the plan I have is,

  1. Enable a swarm of AI agent instead of 1 agent. Troll army.
  2. Accept payment for troll request.
  3. Upgrade to paid tier Twitter api.
  4. A dashboard of all api performance.
  5. Troll reward (troll-to-earn) leaderboard.
  6. Improve troll-to-earn mechanic.
