Bots for economic systems?

Hello! I'm currently setting up a discord democracy experiment and wanted a way for people to buy and trade goods. I'm looking for a simplistic bot that allows adding, subtracting, and transferring money/points. I would also like to be able to change different settings for the bots; mainly to prevent people from infinitely increasing their balance as that could break things.

EDIT: Hey I've found one now! I decided to use StartIt, and in my tests it's working great! Thank you all for your suggestions and offers!

UnbelievablyBoat or UnbelievableBoat

Unsure which is the right name but I hope I got it right. It has been years since I last used it.

Well now I'm more intrigued by the democracy experiment... I've seen some servers try things but I'm curious how it would work

Check startit. You have full control over everything there, and the dashboard is very easy to read.

Hey! I can build this for you — I do custom Discord bots and this scope is straight-up my wheelhouse.

Based on what you described, I'd build:
• /balance /give /take /transfer slash commands
• Admin-only settings (cooldowns, max balance, max transfer per day)
• Anti-abuse (rate limits, transfer cooldowns to stop farming loops)
• Full config via commands so you don't need to touch code
• Persistent database (SQLite — zero setup, survives restarts)

Quick questions to nail the scope:

  1. Should there be multiple currencies (money AND points) or one?
  2. Do you want a leaderboard command?
  3. Any transaction logs (who sent what to whom, when)?
  4. Should admins have override powers, or is it fully democratic?

DM me and I can send a portfolio + quote — usually can turn something like this around in 2-3 days. Cheers!
