Maybe you’d use some other crypto, but that aside, while cool in theory, the whole Lemmy would probably have to be reworked from the ground up to rely on the blockchain you’re thinking of like Nostr (sorry, I don’t know what gave me the impression that it was a blockchain).
It should be possible to add the function in the current architecture instead, a bit like Misskey and others add extras such as reactions
You don’t really need Lemmy to change anything. Just have the user fill in a wallet field in their profile and Lemmy to have their own wallet address. Now, you can tip a user and have some of that go to Lemmy as well by specifying the ratio in the contract or even having it being customisable by the donor.
That sounds interesting, although I could see people creating their own instance to send awards that look the same for free, maybe they should be limited to being displayed on the same instance they were awarded from?

Well, the badge can be displayed only after the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain. Easy way to verify and prevent spam awards.
That would really work great and it’s not even hard to make. 300 likes of code would do the whole thing
I’m sold, time for an RFC?
Why nostr?
You’re right, I misunderstood how it worked, corrected now
