The start

I worked on this project as a part of my Web 3 Cohort BuildOnChain. We wanted to build a system which will help users achieve their goals and if they fail to do so, they pay.

Hence came YAGMI, short form for— You are going to make it, a web3 spin on social accountability by staking money.

We realised that staking money adds more ‘seriousness’ towards our goals and actions. Money is an excellent motivation because let’s be honest losing money feels terrible. We want users to have skin-in-the-game while setting up ambitious goals.

Why Web3?

The whole system will run on smart contracts, which means:

• The contract is immutable, i.e. both goal setter and accountability partner have to follow through the rules.
• Even if the goal setter forgets to update their goals or the accountability partner forgets to accept or reject it, smart contract will do the needful in their absence too.
• Opens up lot more possibilities of extending from just one trusted friend to an eventual P2P network who verify the proof of work in a decentralised way.
