Key Results

  • Built blockchain-based "proof-of-good" currency prototype with off-chain validation
  • Motivated a team of 5 to ideate and experiment on making the world a better place

I founded heartpoints because I wanted to create a means of currency exchange viewed as supporting good by the parties involved. Good is an inherantly relative concept, and so I imagined creating, or finding and subscribing to, definitions of good linked to the heartpoints currency that were compatible with my own definition, at least enough for me to transact. For example, I might search a marketplace based on products and vendors tied to a certain blockchain-enabled "proof of good" definition; while others might prefer a different definition of good, and may engage in commerce or volunteerism with potentially overlapping or distinct subsets of parties to any potential transaction.

Project: Heartpoints Currency Prototype

A working prototype and specs for how heartpoints would be rewarded and exchanged and linked to "Proof of Good" that could be validated off-chain (since proof of good in this case may for example, be video evidence or other data that is too large to fit onto the chain), using a strategy of hashing the proof and storing the hash and URL of the proof's off-chain content.
