PLATONAUTAS

Platonautas is a Web3 dApp that transforms staking into social impact. Users stake tokens and receive 20% of the yield, while the remaining 80% is redirected to a community pool that supports vulnerable children and youth. To access benefits, young participants must complete milestones in education, community service, and Web3 learning—validated by trusted NGOs. These organizations then convert staking rewards into real-life support such as food, education, and mental health care. The system promotes transparency, measurable impact, and empowerment through decentralized, on-chain social progress.

Problem / Opportunity

One billion people under 18 live in vulnerable conditions. NGOs struggle with consistent funding. Meanwhile, billions in staking generate yield for just a few.

Solution

A staking platform with automatic yield redistribution:

• 20% goes to the staker

• 80% feeds a fund to support children and youth through verified NGOs

Beneficiaries earn on-chain points by achieving educational, community, and tech milestones.

How It Works

• Users stake tokens via the dApp

• Yield is split 20/80 (staker/impact fund)

• Youth upload milestones (education, community, Web3 learning)

• NGOs validate milestones and manage rewards

• Points unlock access to education, mental health, housing, and more

Tech Stack

• Solidity: staking + rewards smart contracts

• On-chain social layer: e.g., Talent Protocol, Lens, Farcaster

• Frontend: React + Wagmi + Viem or Ethers.js

• IPFS: for certificates or proofs

• Wallets: Metamask, WalletConnect, others

• Milestone validation: via oracles or manual NGO verification

Social Impact Model

Triple-layer validation:

• On-chain tracking of user achievements

• NGOs validate milestones and deliver real-world benefits

• Rewards delivered via tokens redeemable for real-life support

Token Flow / Economics

• A staking token (e.g., sTOKEN)

• An internal reward token for youth (e.g., iPOINTS)

• NGOs manage conversions

• Transparent flows, vesting schedules, and liquidity

Market / Opportunity Size

• $130B+ in locked staking (Source: Staking Rewards, 2024)

• 10k+ active NGOs for vulnerable youth in LatAm & Africa

• Web3 adoption growing in impact-driven sectors

Business Model

• 1–2% performance fee

• Partnerships with NGO networks (donors can track real impact)

• Optional: commemorative NFTs for top stakers

Roadmap

• Hackathon: MVP

• Q2 2025: Testnet pilot with one NGO

• Q3 2025: Mainnet launch + scholarship program

• Q4 2025: DAO governance begins

Team & Needs

• Product Manager 

• Developers (contracts + frontend)

• Designer (UI/UX)

• Web3 strategy + legal

• Looking for: Mentors, Grants, Strategic Partnerships
