LUDABOT is a fully custom-built platform — not a third-party service — developed specifically for LUDAFOXtv's community. It runs on Discord and Twitch simultaneously, managing everything from stream announcements to the in-chat economy.

The Twitch side runs on a custom PhantomBot instance with bespoke scripts for the Shardbytes economy, fishing minigame, duels, and TTS system. The Discord side is a custom Discord.js bot handling announcements, role management, and the Open Sketchbook events.

Both services connect to a central Python FastAPI core — meaning when LUDAFOX goes live on Twitch, Discord is notified automatically. When an Open Sketchbook request is completed, the requester gets pinged. It's all one system.

Shardbytes are the in-stream currency of LUDAFOXtv. Earn them by watching streams, winning duels, fishing, completing quests, and claiming attendance streaks. Spend them on song requests, gambling, shop items, and TTS messages.
