ZADAO Alerts
Get alerts for activity on Zero Authority DAO: bounties, gigs, quests, campaigns, and grants. Four feeds are configured with a slash-command wizard; grants are configured conversationally by just talking to Nova.
In short
Get alerts for Zero Authority DAO bounties, gigs, quests and campaigns through /bounty, /gigs, /quest and /campaigns, and for grants by asking Nova. Lists every trigger and filter for each feed.
| Feed | Command | Triggers | Filters / options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bounties | /bounty | Bounty created, entry submitted, bounty boosted, bounty completed, participants rewarded | Campaign filter, submission alerts toggle, per-type channels (Discord) |
| Gigs | /gigs | Gig created, gig completed | — |
| Quests | /quest | New quest, quest joined, activity completed, ending/ended | Alert-type selection, campaign filter, per-type channels (Discord) |
| Campaigns | /campaigns | Campaign created | — |
| Grants | ask Nova | New grant, milestone completed, grant completed | Category, per-event toggles, minimum amount |
A Campaign is what was formerly called a "Hub" on ZADAO.
How Setup Works
The four command-based feeds all follow the same wizard flow, on Telegram and Discord alike:
- Run the feed's command (
/bounty,/gigs,/quest, or/campaigns). - Select "Notifications Setup".
- Toggle alerts on or off.
- (Discord only) pick a channel for the alerts — skip in DMs. Where a feed supports it, you can route different alert types to different channels.
- Set the feed-specific options below, review, and confirm. A success message means the alerts are live.
Bounties — /bounty
| Trigger | Details |
|---|---|
| Bounty Created | A new bounty was posted — includes Campaign, title, prize, type (single winner, multi-winner, NFT or custom split), deadline. A custom split lists the reward for each winner place |
| Entry Submitted | Someone submitted to a bounty you're tracking (optional) |
| Bounty Boosted | Someone added STX, a token or an NFT on top of a bounty's prize with Boost a Bounty — includes the boost, who sent it, and the bounty's boost pool so far |
| Bounty Completed | A bounty was completed — includes winner(s) and prize info; for a custom split, who won each place and what they got. If the bounty was boosted, the boost pool the winners can now claim |
| Participants Rewarded | After the winners were picked, someone paid the bounty's participants directly — includes how many, how much each, and the total |
Options: submission alerts on/off, and an optional Campaign filter to only receive bounties from specific organizations. On Discord you can route bounty alerts and submission alerts to different channels. Boost and reward alerts go with the bounty alerts and follow the same Campaign filter.
Boost a Bounty
Anyone can boost an open ZADAO bounty to make it more rewarding. The boost goes to the winners, split the same way as the prize (equally, 60/30/10 for a top-3 bounty, or each place's share for a custom split). If the bounty is cancelled, or stays open for about 90 days without winners, boosters can take their boost back.
Very small boosts are not announced, so a channel isn't flooded with dust. To see a bounty's boost pool at any time, ask Nova:
@Nova has the meme contest bounty been boosted?
Gigs — /gigs
| Trigger | Details |
|---|---|
| Gig Created | A new gig was posted — includes creator, recipient, and max reward |
| Gig Completed | A gig was marked as completed |
No extra options — just toggle and go.
Quests — /quest
Choose which of these alert types to receive:
| Trigger | Details |
|---|---|
| New Quest Created | A quest went live — title, campaign, deadline, rewards |
| Quest Joined | Someone joined a quest — participant address, STX amount, participant count |
| Activity Completed | Someone completed a quest activity |
| Quest Ending/Ended | Reminder ~24 hours before the deadline, plus a notice when it closes |
Options: an optional campaign filter, and on Discord a channel per alert type (e.g. new quests in #announcements, joins in #activity). On Telegram all selected types go to the same chat.
Permissions: in Telegram groups only group admins can set up quest alerts; in Discord servers only members with Manage Messages or Administrator. Anyone can set them up via DM.
Each quest alert includes fields depending on the type:
| Field | Description | Alert types |
|---|---|---|
| Quest Title | Name with a direct link to the quest | All |
| Campaign | The campaign the quest belongs to (if any) | All |
| Deadline | When the quest expires | New Quest |
| REP Rewards | Total reputation points available | New Quest |
| NFT Reward | Whether an NFT reward is included | New Quest |
| Activities | Number of activities/subtasks to complete | New Quest |
| Creator | The quest creator's address | New Quest |
| Participant | Address of the user who joined/completed | Joined, Completed |
| STX Amount | STX staked on join (if applicable) | Joined |
| Participants Count | Total number of quest participants | Joined |
Campaigns — /campaigns
| Trigger | Details |
|---|---|
| Campaign Created | A new campaign was launched — includes name, description, and admin info |
No extra options — just toggle and go.
Grants — Just Ask Nova
Unlike the feeds above, grant alerts have no command or wizard — configure them conversationally by mentioning or DMing Nova. In public groups/servers only admins and moderators can configure them; DM Nova for personal alerts.
| Trigger | Details |
|---|---|
| New Grant | A new grant appeared — project name, category, description, amount, network, and grantee |
| Milestone Completed | A grant completed one of its milestones — includes progress (e.g. 2/4) and milestone name |
| Grant Completed | A grant reached Completed status |
| Option | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Grant categories | DeGrants, BlueSky, Community, SocialFi | All categories |
| New grants | on / off | on |
| Milestones | on / off | on |
| Completions | on / off | on |
| Minimum amount | Any number (awarded or requested amount floor) | No floor |
@Nova alert me about new DeGrants grants above 5,000
Changing a setting later works the same way — Nova updates only what you ask for and keeps the rest untouched. Ask "what ZADAO alerts do I have in this chat?" to review, or "turn off grant alerts" to stop.
