Using other IBC-compatible assets on Gitopia

Gitopia supports using other IBC-compatible tokens on the platform, enabling projects to offer these tokens as bounties to reward contributions. Therefore, projects can offer a more diverse set of rewards to their contributors, which can help incentivize participation and increase overall project engagement.

To begin with, we have added the Osmosis and Cosmos Hub tokens as assets here. Additional IBC-compatible tokens would be added via proposals.

Before proceeding with creating bounties using the supported tokens, you must ensure that you have some of those tokens in your Gitopia wallet. To facilitate this, Gitopia generates equivalent wallet addresses for other chains supported on the platform, using the same seed as your Gitopia address.

To add tokens to your Gitopia wallet, transfer the desired tokens into the generated address and then deposit these tokens to your Gitopia wallet on the platform. When you need to withdraw these tokens, you can reverse this process by sending the tokens from your Gitopia wallet to the equivalent address in the other wallet.
