Spotlight
Excitement continues to build with everything @QuaiNetwork is doing - and especially their new innovation @kippermoney!
Kipper is Quai’s extremely cool new creator monetization tool on Twitter/X - which is seeing tremendous success so far and beginning to fill what was clearly a big need on the platform!
The Quai team just added a bunch of cool new features to Kipper, including:
-Solana compatibility
-The ability to tip in memecoins (starting with FART, PENGU, SPX, BONK)
-The ability to tip in USDC
-Boosted replies with the dollar amount on each post so you can see how much each post has been tipped
-And much more!
Learn more in the article below and the excellent explainer video from @ChristopherNFGG below that, make sure to follow Quai on Twitter for more updates, and stay tuned as we continue banging the drum about everything they are doing!
