Show HN: INFINITY.bid – A visual infinite grid auction inside Telegram

2 infinitybid 0 6/17/2025, 4:27:39 PM infinity.bid ↗

We just launched INFINITY.bid — a visual auction app inside Telegram where users can buy blocks on an infinite grid, customize them with colors, images, or links, and leave their mark.

The higher your block, the more it costs (+1 star per row). Others can tap your blocks, and you earn "taps" — a playful system that might evolve into something more. All blocks are stored immutably on-chain.

This started as an art-meets-UX experiment and grew into a real-time, infinite canvas shaped by users.

Would love to hear your thoughts — on UX, scaling, weirdness, or whether this kind of playful model has legs.
