Inspiration
Our vision is simple, by providing monetary incentives to our users we can empower communities to live healthier lifestyles. Through empowering healthier lifestyles, we aid in the support for social, cultural, physical, and economic well being. Exercise is a factor that has been seen to be a key role in the overall success of a nation. The goal for us is to improve the public health of communities, especially those which are marginalized. FinFit aims to provide a platform that “gamifies” fitness.
What it does
FinFit is a platform that allows users to stake their money and complete fitness challenges. Through completing challenges, users get returns on their invested money. You can compete in global challenges solo or even team up with friends to improve returns!
How does it work? The idea is that those at the top of the leaderboard earn the most while returns geometrically decrease as you are lower on the leaderboard.
If you don't complete challenges, do we lose money? You will not lose money by failing completing challenges. Think of our platform as any other investment account. The difference with FinFit is that we add small multiples to your APR when you've completed challenges.
