Save the receipts: Onchain fitness by mishaderidder.eth13093 🥝 • 3y • 0 views • 0 clicks | |
AI summary of the linked articleReceipts is a beta fitness app that records workouts onchain, and the author argues that its real significance lies in showing how real-world personal data can be verified and turned into something usable on a blockchain. The app connects to Strava, lets users run a workout through an attestation service, and then saves it in a web3 wallet as an NFT. The article describes Strava as the data source and Receipts as a data oracle bridging real-world data to an onchain network. It notes a weakness: users could add invented workouts to Strava, so future versions are expected to address data validity, and the article says a web3 wallet architecture gives users control over how their data is used. | |
Love the idea of putting workout data on chain, however, what I’m pondering is will the reward be like StepN(death viral loop) rather than positive encourage people to build a health habit? (Not sure Pokémon Go could be a good example?) | |
