A dating application that uses blockchain technology to build an on-chain reputation graph based on user actions (e.g., response time, follow-through on dates) rather than subjective scoring. This aims to increase accountability and improve match quality in online dating by providing data-driven insights into user behavior while protecting privacy with zero-knowledge proofs.

one of the fun things I get to learn as I started you know exploring how models of communication and the idea of of a trust based graph I call it motivational graph but I don't know if it's going to stick but I feel like capturing through blockchain like what the user has done offchain to onchain is almost like capturing the motivation
