Symbiosis

Symbiosis: Turn daily actions into eco-wins, Earn Climate Coins, compete on leaderboards, and build a greener tomorrow!

Comment

Inspiration

We were inspired by Pokémon GO’s location-based gameplay and Microsoft Rewards system for being able to earn "climate coins".

What it does

Symbiosis encourages sustainable living by assigning tasks—like biking, recycling, or planting a tree to earn Climate Coins. Users compete on a community leaderboard to maximize environmental impact.

How we built it

  1. We built Symbiosis using Flutter for Android and iOS compatibility.
  2. The backend, powered by Firebase, handles task tracking, coin allocation, and leaderboard updates.
  3. The UI was crafted in Figma and has a clean, simple, and minimalist look which is very easy to use.

Challenges we ran into

  • Implementing real-time leaderboard with Firebase posed latency issues.
  • Designing inclusive tasks for diverse user lifestyles was tough.
  • Verifying user-reported eco-actions to prevent fraud also required creative solutions.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re thrilled to have built an addictive, Pokémon GO-style app for sustainability and delivering a polished Flutter app are major milestones for us.

What we learned

Using phone APIs, like the pedometer for step-tracking tasks and geolocation services for location-based challenges, deepened our understanding of integrating native device features to enhance user engagement and verify eco-friendly actions.

What's next for Symbiosis

  1. We’ll add location-based tasks inspired by _Pokémon GO.
  2. Integrate AI for personalized challenges.
  3. Expand to make a separate global leaderboard.
