We added Points and a Leaderboard to make the bot more fun, more active, and to reward chats that actually use it.
You can now earn points by:
• claiming daily points
• keeping a daily streak
• connecting with different chat types
• sending supported media types
• keeping connections active for longer
• joining Points Drops
• winning Cross-Chat Challenges
• inviting people with referrals
The Leaderboard shows the top chats using CrossMsg. The top 3 chats also get buttons that can send people to their group/channel, so being high on the leaderboard can help bring new people to your chat.
In the future, top leaderboard chats may also start receiving rewards/prizes, so points are not just for show.
We also added Cross-Chat Challenges. When your chat is connected to another chat, you can use
/challenge and the other side can accept or decline. Right now there is Guess the Number, and more challenge games will be added later. The winner gets points, and nobody loses points.There is also a Referral system. You can invite people through your referral link and earn bonus points when they join. The new person also gets bonus points.
These updates are meant to make CrossMsg more active, more competitive, and more worth using for groups, channels, and DMs.
More stuff will be added in the future. If you find any bugs, problems, or have ideas for new features/challenges, let me know.
