Grant proposal:
We propose to you to build a light integration of CoW Protocol to Quidli by adding COW to our API and hosted app environment. This will enable you to seamlessly distribute COW tokens as rewards to the top active participants in your community directly in your Slack or Discord.
In addition to helping you internally share COW tokens within your ecosystem, this integration lets us offer COW to our user base of 1000+ organizations as an option via Quidli’s open token platform.
Grant Goals and Impact:
Once completed, $COW token will be available as an option on:
- Quidli web app
- Quidli Slack app
- Quidli Discord app
- Any subsequent integrations built by Quidli
Added values:
- Gain new holders through Quidli token integration platform (+6000 actives users in 2022).
- Increase community engagement and retain your top contributors, make them feel they are the most valuable asset by rewarding them and recognize their work.
- Rely on community members referrals as your first source of acquisition and rewards them for their contribution.
- Use Quidli metrics in order to better understand how to build a better community on Discord.
Milestones & Timeline:

- To enable CoW Protocol to use Quidli internally via Slack and external via Discord.
- To offer our existing user base $COW token as a micro-incentive option.
