A burn-to-earn app that is revolutionizing fitness with blockchain
About Fitcoin
Fitcoin® is a cutting-edge fitness app that is revolutionizing the fitness industry by harnessing the power of blockchain. The app aims to provide users with a secure and transparent platform to track their fitness activities, earn rewards, and participate in challenges, all while leveraging the potential of cryptocurrency.
Background
The fitness industry has always been dynamic, with people seeking innovative ways to stay motivated and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Fitcoin® was born out of the idea to merge fitness and blockchain to create an engaging and rewarding experience for users. The team behind Fitcoin® recognized the potential of blockchain to enhance user engagement, accountability, and transparency, ultimately leading to better fitness outcomes.
Client Challenge
The client's app development journey presented a range of obstacles, notably the integration of real-time fitness data. They envisioned a dynamic leaderboard tailored to global customer time zones and a dashboard that seamlessly adjusted data display according to user time zones. Another innovative aspect was the plan to implement midnight rewards aligned with each user's specific time zone.
The project encompassed other diverse challenges as well, including blockchain integration with top-notch security measures. Compatibility across various devices was a priority, and a gamification module empowering users to earn NFTs and ERC-20 FC coins was to be skillfully integrated to boost user engagement.
Solution Offering
To address these challenges, we implemented the following solutions:
Live Data Integration: We established a system to stream live data from users' device ecosystems to our backend.
Time Zone Specificity: Our approach involved using UTC time zones for user-specific data. We accurately displayed data according to their specific time zones by retrieving each user's UTC offset.
Blockchain Integration: We integrated blockchain RPC to effectively listen to contract transactions and ensure seamless synchronization with our system.
Responsive Design: The application's compatibility across devices was achieved through responsive design techniques. We leveraged Bootstrap 5 and media queries to ensure optimal performance across various screen sizes. Deep-linking was also employed to facilitate interaction with other mobile apps.
Community Challenges and Rewards: We successfully integrated worldwide community challenges that aligned with user time zones. Furthermore, a mechanism was implemented to provide daily fitcoins to users at midnight, enhancing their engagement and motivation.
