What This Skill Does

Provides API-based access to The Next Big Thing, a Bitcoin token shill arena where deployers pitch tokens and shillers earn points toward mint grants. Supports posting chat messages and shills, requesting grants, reacting to posts, deploying tokens, and managing follows via the platform's REST API. Token deployments and mints require an external Ordinals inscription service, as the platform has no server-side inscription endpoint.

Removes the browser and manual wallet interaction entirely, letting scripts participate in cooldown-timed shill cycles and grant requests on schedule.

When to use it

  • Posting timed token shills from a script that respects cooldown intervals
  • Checking shill review inbox and tracking point accumulation automatically
  • Requesting mint grants programmatically after earning qualifying shill points
  • Deploying a new TAP token with elevator pitch text through an inscription service
  • Polling the chat stream and auto-following active participants

AGENT
  1. 1POST /api/chat/challenge with address, message mentioning $MYTICK, and room 'global' to receive a challengeText
  2. 2Sign challengeText using Tap Wallet-compatible signing to produce a base64 65-byte signature
  3. 3POST /api/chat/message with challengeId and signature to submit the shill
  4. 4GET /api/shills/inbox to verify the shill was accepted and points were awarded
OUTPUT

Shill posted and inbox confirms accepted status with updated point balance
