Built a blockchain where you mine blocks by accomplishing real-world goals instead of solving computational puzzles. AI verifies your achievements, peers review them, and successful ones become permanent blockchain records.

Demo: https://proof-of-awesome.app

How it works:

Submit achievements like "ran 5km today" or "learned a new song" with photo evidence AI validates achievement authenticity and difficulty Community peer review for quality control Accepted achievements earn you the right to mine the next block Earn AwesomeCoins as rewards, permanently recorded on-chain

Technical implementation:

React + MUI frontend with real-time updates via Socket.io Node.js + MongoDB backend with simplified blockchain data structure Deterministic phase transitions synchronized across network nodes Built-in achievement categories (fitness, gaming, lifestyle, general)

Why this matters: Traditional proof-of-work wastes energy on abstract math. This creates value through actual human accomplishment while maintaining blockchain security properties. Every block represents someone doing something genuinely awesome in the real world. No crypto speculation, no fees - just a permanent record of human achievement.
