CodeStake 🎯

CodeStake is a web app that turns learning into a challenge — quite literally! Compete with friends by staking a set amount and racing to complete learning milestones. Whoever hits the milestones first gets rewarded from the staked pool. It’s all about accountability, motivation, and a bit of friendly competition.

🚀 Why CodeStake?

• Learning is hard. Staying consistent is harder.
• With CodeStake, you set learning goals, stake real value, and compete with a friend to reach the finish line.
• The more you complete, the more you earn. Fall behind? Well, you snooze, you lose (your stake).

🧠 How It Works

1. Create a Challenge: Choose a topic, set milestones, and invite a friend.
2. Stake an Amount: Both parties lock in an equal stake.
3. Track Progress: Complete milestones and update progress.
4. Win Rewards: For every milestone achieved, the system distributes a portion of the stake to the one who reaches it first.

Example: You and your friend stake ₹1000 each. For every milestone (e.g., completing a React module), the first to complete gets ₹200 from the pool.
