Just The Tips

What is Just The Tips?

Just The Tips is a non-custodial, multi-chain tipping bot that lets creators receive stablecoin tips and automatically post thank-you messages in their chat. The bot is software you run yourself: you configure it with your receive address and deploy it to your own hosting, and it watches for incoming stablecoin payments.

When a viewer sends a tip directly from their own wallet to the creator’s address, the bot observes the on-chain transaction, reads the sender handle and any memo attached to the payment, and posts a thank-you message back to the creator’s selected platform.

Key Features

Non-custodial “watch-only” workflow for tips: the viewer sends stablecoin from their own wallet to the creator’s receive address, and the bot does not touch viewer funds.
Multi-chain stablecoin support: the bot watches XRPL and also deploys to watch Base, Arbitrum, and Solana at the same time.
On-chain receipts rather than IOUs: the bot observes real transactions and generates chat messages based on data contained in the transaction itself.
Memo-to-message support: tippers can include an optional message in the transaction memo field; the bot reads it and includes it in the thank-you.
Lightweight configuration: setup uses a single env file for your address and platform tokens, plus a message template you can override.
Platform adapters for chat output: thin plugins support posting thank-you messages to Discord, Telegram, Twitch, and X.
Source-available licensing: released under BSL 1.1 with a switch to Apache 2.0 after four years (per the site note).
Downloadable bundle or source: you can use a configurator to bake a ready-to-run bundle, or download the source directly.

How to Use Just The Tips

Open the Just The Tips site and use the configurator to enter your XRPL receive address.
Deploy the bot to your hosting choice using the generated bundle (no keys or seed phrase are required for the bot’s operation per the site’s description).
Connect the bot to the chat platform(s) you want via the provided platform adapter configuration (Discord, Telegram, Twitch, and X are listed).
Share the tipping flow with your audience so viewers can send stablecoin directly from their own wallets to your receive address.
Let the bot run: it watches incoming transactions, extracts the sender handle and memo, and posts a thank-you message in your chat.

The site also emphasizes that the bot cannot send from the configured receive address (it is described as receive-only by design), and it does not require a database to create thank-you messages because it uses on-chain receipts.

Use Cases

Streamer or Discord community: a viewer tips with stablecoin and optionally adds a memo; the bot posts a thank-you in the creator’s Discord channel using the on-chain memo content.
Podcast host or newsletter creator with chat presence: viewers tip on supported chains to the creator’s receive address, and the bot posts a confirmation message in the connected chat platform.
Twitch creator: a follower sends an XRPL stablecoin tip with a short note in the memo field; the bot watches the ledger for the payment and posts a thank-you in Twitch chat.
Cross-platform creator running one tipping setup: deploy the bot so it watches XRPL, Base, Arbitrum, and Solana concurrently, while your platform adapter posts to the chat service(s) you use.
Developer-run tipping bot for their own brand: download the source, inspect chain adapters and the server code, and customize message templates and platform behavior for their own tipping workflow.

FAQ

The site states it deploys to watch XRPL plus Base, Arbitrum, and Solana.

Which chat platforms are supported for posting messages?

The site lists adapters for Discord, Telegram, Twitch, and X.

Alternatives

Self-hosted blockchain event watchers + chat bots: similar approach where you monitor incoming stablecoin transactions for a wallet address and then send chat messages; you would build the integration logic and platform posting yourself.
Custodial tipping platforms or payment processors: instead of a non-custodial, receive-only bot, you’d rely on a service that holds funds or manages payments; workflow differs because you transfer responsibility to the provider.
Generic chat auto-response bots with manual tipping confirmation: you can use a chat bot that triggers acknowledgements after manual verification; workflow differs because it does not automatically read on-chain memos/handles.
Other open-source creator automation tools: for creators who prefer software they run locally, look for open-source bots that integrate blockchain events with community platforms, though chain coverage and tipping memo handling may vary.
