FlowStake aims to revolutionize how physical activities are tracked and verified. By using a distributed ledger, we ensure that each activity is recorded securely and transparently. Our platform provides a social network-like experience where users can interact, compete, and attest to each other's activities.

• User Registration and Account Management: User registration, social signup, account creation, and wallet abstractions.
• Proof of Stake Smart Contracts: Choose and utilize "Proof of Stake" smart contracts to "bet on yourself" and motivate athletic achievements.
• Activity Tracking: GPS and heartbeat data tracking for running and cycling.
• Biometric Data Capture: Integration with wearable devices to capture heart rate and other biometric data.
• Leaderboards: Leaderboards for classic running events (5k, 10k, 13.1mi, 26.2mi) and personal records (PRs).
• Social Interaction: Activity profile, social media feed of user activities, friend interactions, and collective attestations.
• Attestation: Peer-to-peer attestation, RFID chips/race bibs, NFC tap, and photo/video verification with 2FA codes/QR codes.
• Blockchain Integration: Permanent records stored on Hedera Hashgraph and Ethereum smart contracts for self-sports betting.
• Account Management: Secure login and account management using web3auth.io.
• Progressive Web App: Live data capture and mobile compatibility for iOS and Android.
• Data Integration: Integration with Strava as the data oracle/data source to help test the smart contracts.

• Frontend: React Native with Expo SDK 46
• Backend: Firebase for data storage
• Blockchain: Hedera Hashgraph and Ethereum smart contracts
• Authentication: web3auth.io
• Hosting: IPFS (InterPlanetary File System)
• Miscellaneous: Computer vision for activity identification
