What is Telefrens?
Telefrens enables an individual or brand to create their own Telegram group with Token Gated Access automatically. It allows Creators to bootstrap and monetize their followings through the sale of blockchain-based Passes.
Holders can purchase Passes that unlock access to a Creator's exclusive group chat in Telegram.
Telefrens enables p2p communication and community formation within Telegram and groups benefit from Telegram's robust and feature-rich chat platform.
Telefrens leverages Collab.Land's ERC4337 smart account implementation, the gmPASS.
The gmPASS enables non-custodial, user-controlled, and secure blockchain interactions through a smart account wallet.
The Vision
The gmPASS will be tied into more and more functionality for Collab.Land as time goes on.

The Details
Bonding Curves
Passes are minted along a bonding curve, resulting in variable prices for Passes.
Price slippage will occur if multiple accounts are buying and selling along the bonding curve at the same time.
So, a crypto bonding curve is like a rollercoaster designed by a math nerd. It's this fancy graph that decides how much your Passes are worth. The twist? The more people buy in, the higher its price climbs. But remember, this isn't your grandma's savings bond. The curve can go up or down, making it as unpredictable as Vin Diesel doing standup.
Default Bonding Curve
Telefrens is launching with the default bonding curve from Friend.Tech.
$$ f(x)=\frac{x^2}{16000} $$
Bonding curves will be customizable by Creators in a future update.
Royalties Revenues + Protocol Share
Telefrens empowers Creators by ensuring they always receive royalties revenue on buys and sells of their Passes.
Referral Points
Referral rewards will vary between a minimum of 0% and a maximum of 1% of trade value of Telefrens Passes.
The amount and distribution mechanics of community incentives will be adjusted by Collab.Land team. Governance over rewards will be decentralized to $COLLAB token holders at a later point in time.
When community incentives are at their maximum of 1% of trade revenues, the revenue share is depicted in the diagram below. All numerical values are percentages, i.e. 90 ➡ 90% of the whole.
Leaderboard
The Leaderboard tracks everyone's Telefrens referral points versus other claim participants.
Referrers can claim referral rewards at the end of each claim period. Rewards are proportional to an individual's Leaderboard rank, i.e. higher rank == more rewards.
Everyone can see their ranking on the Leaderboard using /leaderboard command with the Telefrens bot in Telegram.
Points Formula
The Points formula will be adjusted at the discretion of the Collab.Land team. The initial Community Points formula is:
- +1 Point when a user you invite onboards to Telefrens
- +1000 Points when a user you invite does their first transaction using Telefrens
