We are looking for an experienced Discord Bot Developer to create a simple yet effective bot that authenticates users based on their ownership of a specific Web3 NFT token. The bot will interact seamlessly with the Discord API and ensure secure user verification by allowing users to sign a message using popular wallets such as Rabby, MetaMask, and WalletConnect on an EVM chain.
Key Responsibilities:

    Bot Development:
        Design and implement a Discord bot that can authenticate users based on NFT ownership.
        Enable seamless interaction with the Discord API to manage user access to a specific channel.

    Web3 Integration:
        Integrate the bot with Web3 libraries to verify NFT ownership.
        Ensure users can authenticate by signing messages using their wallets (Rabby, MetaMask, WalletConnect).

    Token-Gating Mechanism:
        Implement a simple token-gating system for one designated Discord channel.
        Verify the singular NFT ownership and grant or deny access based on verification results.

    Best Practices:
        Follow best practices for security and user data protection throughout the authentication process.
        Ensure that the bot handles errors gracefully and provides helpful feedback to users.

    Testing and Deployment:
        Conduct thorough testing of the bot’s functionality to ensure reliability and security.
        Deploy the bot to a suitable hosting environment and provide ongoing support as needed.

Required Skills:

    Proficiency in Programming Languages:
        Strong knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript, particularly with Node.js for bot development.

    Discord API Experience:
        Familiarity with the Discord API and libraries such as discord.js or Eris for building Discord bots.

    Web3 and NFT Expertise:
        Experience with Web3.js or Ethers.js for blockchain interactions.
        Understanding of NFT standards (e.g., ERC721, ERC1155) and smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains.

    Wallet Integration:
        Experience integrating wallet providers like MetaMask, Rabby, and WalletConnect for user authentication.

    Security Best Practices:
        Knowledge of security practices related to smart contracts, user authentication, and data privacy.

Preferred Qualifications:

    Previous experience building Discord bots or similar applications.
    Familiarity with token-gating mechanisms and community management tools.
    Ability to work independently and deliver high-quality results in a timely manner.

How to Apply:

Please submit your resume and any relevant examples of previous Discord bots or Web3 projects you have worked on. In your application, include a brief overview of your approach to building this bot and any challenges you anticipate. We look forward to collaborating with a talented developer to enhance our community engagement through secure NFT verification!
