Gamified DeFi brought us here…so now let’s gamify healthy living.
Mainly to mass produce a wearable device and put it in the hands of as many people as possible. Well technically, it will go around the forehead, worn like a headband because it will contain electrodes that record brainwaves with electroencephalography (EEG). A portion will be directed towards other use cases.
This headband can serve as a portal to Web3, verifying the performance of certain essential actions every person should take because these behaviors add value to each individual and the world we live in.
Similar to earning experience points in video games, users of the headband will be rewarded with digital value for “mining” the proof of their work, which can occur passively by wearing the headband.
If “items you own in the virtual world should have the same property rights as the items you own in the physical one…”
…then it only makes sense to ensure that the actions and behaviors we carry out in the physical world also accrue value in the virtual one.
EEG (brain waves) is to the brain, as Chainlink (price-feeds) is to Ethereum.
In DeFi we are continuously blown away by the persistent innovations, and that is because it is fundamentally a game of transferring and tranche-ing verifiable proofs:
These proofs are stored on addresses and travel between them in the form of digital tokens. This layer of trust enables communities to form quickly and organically around the proofs. As a result, whenever any token becomes liquid, it tends begets liquidity. This has fueled the explosive growth in DeFi.
Moving forward, data economies will leverage Hybrid Smart Contracts to monetize verifiable data and create new systems of Value that themselves feed forward.
Naturally, the governance parameters around such value based reward systems should be maintained by Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), because these systems are configured to optimize for the solutions that bring the greatest amount of benefit to the greatest number of people.
There is more to cover and you will find it below, but at this point I think it’s important to prioritize getting the ball rolling.
One final note - this device is real and is the ownership of Aladdin Dreamer, where I was fortunate to link up with well-intentioned entrepreneurs and invited to join the advisory board. I’m sharing this in favor of legitimacy, and to emphasize that greater value will be created from the use of the device rather than its sales.
