ProofOfGood: Blockchain-Powered Accountability Platform
🎯 Core Concept
ProofOfGood is a Web3 application that transforms personal accountability by requiring users to stake cryptocurrency on their commitments. It combines financial incentives with social verification to ensure people follow through on their goals.
🔧 How It Works
1. Challenge Creation
- Users create accountability challenges (fitness goals, learning objectives, habit formation)
- Set stake amount, deadline, and proof requirements
- Define verification criteria (photo/video evidence, community validation)
2. Financial Commitment
- Participants stake real ETH when joining challenges
- Stakes are locked in smart contracts until completion
- Failed challenges result in stake forfeiture
3. Proof Submission
- Upload evidence (photos, videos, documents) to IPFS
- Submit proof through decentralized storage system
- Cryptographic verification ensures authenticity
4. Community Verification
- Peer-to-peer validation of submitted proofs
- Community voting on challenge completion
- Reputation system for reliable verifiers
5. Rewards & Consequences
- Successful completion returns stake + bonus rewards
- Failed challenges forfeit stakes to reward pool
- Progressive rewards for streak maintenance
🌟 Key Features
