A tokenized dating app.

in Digital Lifestyle2 months ago

Other people have suggested versions of this kind of thing. It's like Tinder or Bumble or whatever, but how you get on the platform is you pay a very small fee or you're sent a token from someone else. The reason you pay a small fee is that first of all prevents bots and 99% of scammers.

You get a profile that is also a wallet, meaning it is a cryptographic key that can trade cryptocurrency tokens and not money tokens. It's not a trade crypto app. It is an app where the crypto functions as a factor of your reputation to enforce a culture of consent. Here's how it works. When we match on the app, we're able to talk to each other.

And after we talk to each other or go on a date, you get to send a piece of feedback about me. And that review becomes tokenized, meaning it is put on a blockchain ledger, just a record in a database that cannot be changed. And it is tied to your private key. So we don't need to know your name. We don't need to know who said it. It can be anonymous but it's verified.

The only people who are allowed to put something on a blockchain are members of the network, people who have private keys, in this case, profile users of this app, and also people who have been verified to have matched with another private key. So you will have a badge on your profile that is linked to a verifiable reputation online from what other people say about you. Of course, there's the possibility that people get. Everything people say goes to blockchain too.

So everybody who puts a review online can't be changed. Their reputation is tied to their ability to give honest reviews too. Ability to see the rules and set the rules or change them at any time. But because it's a decentralized system like that, and it's on a blockchain ledger that cannot be changed, we can trust it to give us better information to help promote cultures of consent and keep people safe. This is just a million-dollar idea that could turn into reality.

That’s interesting and what’s the inspiration behind this tokenized dating app or “this kind of thing” as you called it.

It's just a Blockchain app like Odylee that have similar use case like YouTube but It runs on a blockchain. It's decentralized.
