Proposal:

We propose to you to build a light integration of Cardano to Quidli by adding ADA to our API and hosted app environment. This will enable you to seamlessly distribute ADA tokens as rewards to the top active participants in your community directly in your Slack or Discord.

In addition to helping you internally share ADA tokens within your ecosystem, this integration lets us offer ZIG to our user base of 1000+ organizations as an option via Quidli’s open token platform.

Once completed, $ADA token will be available as an option on:

1. Quidli web app
2. Quidli Slack app
3. Quidli Discord app
4. Any subsequent integrations built by Quidli
