Some kind of commitment contract, to help motivate you do to things and avoid procrastination. Like Stickk (https://www.stickk.com/) but using zaps.
Here's the definition of Commitment Contract as per Stickk:
A Commitment Contract is a binding agreement you sign with yourself to ensure that you follow through with your intentions—and it does this by utilizing the psychological power of loss aversion and accountability to drive behavior change.
So if you had a goal of, say, writing a blog post weekly, you could put that in the contract, along with some sats as a bond. You find a partner to hold you accountable. The partners job is to review the photo or link (or whatever evidence you provide) to make sure you did what you planned.
For instance, if you've been procrastinating on cleaning out the garage, you could post the before picture as a part of the contract, and then the after picture, with a clean garage. Your partner would agree - your garage is now clean - and the sats would get returned.
You'd make a profit by organizing this, connecting people, setting up the agreement - setters with the agreement - validators. And you'd take a percentage. Or maybe have a subscription model, where you charge people X amount a month and let them make these contracts.
People are looking for this type of thing. Check out flow.club. People want accountability.
