Crypto Dating App with Reputation Graph

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.
