A gas top up bot for stuck fUSD holders

[htzano]

Testing interest in a small service for a common problem, people win fusd in campaigns, make a phone wallet, then can't move it because they have no Zano for gas. Stuck unless they go buy Zano,
been seeing this often now, i mean sure they could just go buy, but i thought perhaps this would be a cool feature
A bot on telegram sells them a bit of ZANO for fUSD via an ionic swap. They create the proposal in their own wallet, the bot finalises it and covers the network fee, so it works with zero Zano on their side. Atomic swap means they never send funds first, scam-resistant by design. Cost would be ~0.17 fUSD for $1 of ZANO, covering gas plus a little for running it.

Worth building what you guys think?
would you point stuck users to it

Sounds like a great idea.
It solves a real onboarding problem.

A Simple feature but useful

This would be great, it would even make sense for Freedom Dollar themselves to facilitate this.

Honestly, this really makes sense. Sometimes you have the funds but can’t move them because you’re short on gas. A bot handling that would be a nice quality-of-life upgrade.

this actually solves a very specific onboarding problem.

if someone earns fUSD from a campaign but has zero ZANO, having to leave the ecosystem, buy ZANO somewhere else and bring it back just to pay gas creates unnecessary friction.

using an atomic swap is what makes the idea more interesting. the user keeps control of their funds, doesn't have to send fUSD to the bot first, and can effectively turn a small amount of what they already own into the ZANO needed to transact.

if the execution is secure and the pricing stays reasonable, i'd definitely point stuck users toward something like this. it's a small feature, but it removes a pretty annoying first-time user problem.
