Gamified Micro-Incentive Engagement Platform

A tool that gamifies tasks (work or home) with tiny crypto/non-cash micro-rewards and leaderboards. Built internally by the guest's agency as an employee engagement tool ('155') paying small Solana amounts for on-time check-ins, high ratings, and met deadlines tracked via APIs, boosting engagement ~77%. Extensible to households and spatial-computing reward experiences.

Why now

APIs make tasks trackable, crypto enables tiny payouts, and spatial computing (Apple Vision Pro coin-collecting demos) makes gamified rewards feel good.

Market gap

Engagement tools rarely combine real micro-incentives, API-tracked tasks, and leaderboards in a way that feels playful.

Business fit

Type: SaaS / app
Target: Companies wanting employee engagement; potentially households/parents and consumers
Revenue: Unknown — internal tool, not commercialized
Founder: Builder who sees life as a game and can wire API-tracked tasks to reward/leaderboard mechanics
