Kipper

Kipper is a tool that embeds tipping into the reply flow of a social platform, so a user who finds a post valuable can trigger a transfer directly in a reply without opening a wallet or copying an address. Its users are creators who interact in public threads and the supporters who back them.

Mechanically, each user has a tip jar controlled by a signing key; the first use registers the jar through a wallet signature, and tips can then be received without calling the wallet again. Balances inside jars are swept in batched collection transactions, so only the collected result is written on-chain, lowering the cost per interaction. Supported assets include QUAI, SOL and USDC; the network behind QUAI uses proof-of-work consensus and issues Q1, a unit of account tied to energy cost. A challenge-weight mechanism constrains wash tipping and self-tipping.
