Recognize positive behavior in real-time

Comment 4

Problem

Team Recognition programs are difficult to build and maintain. They can suffer from various issues:

  • Reliance on subjective applause
  • Difficult to acknowledge important small wins
  • Risks ignoring quiet performers
  • Delays impact the value of recognition
  • Creates additional work to reward task success
  • Can conflict with Objectives and Key Results
  • Costs can be difficult to tie back to a business win

Solution

Perk.Exchange is an off-chain solution that integrates commercial software tools with Solana Blockchain to identify and recognize positive user behavior.

Advantages

  • Leverages Solana’s speed to recognizes positive behavior in real-time
  • Lowers costs
  • Objective and automated
  • Encourages a snowball effect of small wins
  • Introduces Solana to a new and large cohort of users

Supported Use Cases

Perk.Exchange supports the following use cases:

  • Development teams looking to reward developers for meeting or beating sprint goals
  • Support teams looking to reward agents for meeting or beating support SLA goals
  • HR teams looking to encourage team members to become physically active
  • HR teams looking to encourage more recognition in their Slack and Discord community
  • Marketing teams looking to reward engagement with email communication
  • Endless possibilities using the Zapier and Pipedream integrations

What we learned

We learned how to perform transactions with the Solana SPL tokens using Python and Phantom wallet. It was surprising how much faster and cheaper Solana transactions are over Ethereum. From a development perspective we think working with the tokens could be abstracted a bit more so that developers do not need to know about token accounts.
