Bitsocial is meant to grow into thousands of apps, tools, and services built by anyone, not approved by gatekeepers. Explore what’s live now, then submit your own.
OpenAI-compatible moderation checks against each community's rules.
AI Moderation Challenge evaluates Bitsocial comment content against community.rules with an OpenAI-compatible model endpoint. Communities can route risky posts to review while keeping provider keys and prompts in private node settings.
Custom image captchas for communities that want human verification.
Captcha Canvas Challenge generates visual captchas that communities can plug into their own publishing flow. It is a lightweight option for communities that want direct human checks without giving up self-hosted moderation.
On-chain gating for communities that want token or contract checks.
EVM Contract Call verifies publications by calling an EVM contract before a post is accepted. It lets communities build token gates, staking rules, or other on-chain checks into their moderation flow.
NFT-backed access control for communities that need stronger anti-spam gates.
Mintpass is a flexible authentication layer for Bitsocial communities. It lets moderators mix NFT ownership, verification flows, and custom challenge modules without pushing everyone onto a central login system.
Centralized risk scoring layer for filtering abusive publications.
Spam Blocker evaluates publications and returns a risk score that communities can combine with their own moderation logic. It is useful when you want a pragmatic extra layer before building more custom anti-spam rules.
Invite-style voucher codes for communities that prefer controlled growth.
Voucher Challenge lets moderators distribute trusted voucher codes that unlock publishing without a global identity provider. It is a good fit for invite-driven communities, niche boards, and gradual rollouts.
