🌍 Impact GO – Detailed Project Description

Impact GO is a gamified civic impact platform that empowers communities to identify and report real-world issues - like potholes, broken streetlights, waste dumps, or unsafe sidewalks—while earning rewards for their contributions.

Inspired by the gameplay of Pokémon GO and the values of ReFi (Regenerative Finance), Impact GO transforms everyday civic challenges into impact quests. By blending fun, rewards, and transparency, it motivates people to improve their neighborhoods while creating an open and verifiable impact ledger on Solana.

🚧 The Problem

Cities around the world face constant challenges in maintaining infrastructure and public spaces.

• Reporting systems are often slow, bureaucratic, and opaque.

• Citizens lack incentives to report issues.

• Data is siloed—governments, NGOs, and communities can’t collaborate effectively.

As a result, small problems become big problems, eroding community trust and quality of life.

✅ The Solution

Impact GO turns civic duty into a game that pays back:

1. Snap & Tag – Users take a photo of an issue and pin it to the map.

2. Verify Together – Other users confirm the issue for authenticity.

3. Earn Rewards – Validated reports mint an NFT certificate on Solana, while users earn $IMPACT tokens.

4. Community Recognition – Leaderboards, squads, and badges highlight contributions.

5. Open Data – All issues become part of a public, transparent impact ledger accessible to NGOs, local governments, and communities.

🔑 Key Features

• Impact Quests – Report potholes, hazards, or broken infrastructure by snapping and tagging them on the map.

• Eco-Themed Map – A clean, environment-focused map theme highlights parks, water, and green zones while minimizing clutter.

• Gamified Rewards – Earn $IMPACT tokens + NFT proof-of-impact for verified submissions.

• Verification Layer – Reports only unlock rewards after peer validation.

• Seamless Onboarding – MetaMask Embedded Wallets (via Web3Auth) enable email/social login for non-crypto natives.

• Leaderboards & Badges – Track your contributions and earn recognition in your city or globally.

• Squads (Civic Clans) – Users can form or join squads to act together, compete on leaderboards, and unlock squad badges.

🪙 Tokenomics

• Token: $IMPACT (SPL Token on Solana).

• Distribution: Reporter = 70%, Verifiers = 30%.

• Anti-Spam: Reporters stake tokens; fake reports lose stake, verified ones get rewards.

• Utility: Reputation (leaderboards), governance (vote on issue priorities), mintable NFT badges, and future redemption with partners/NGOs.

👥 Community Aspect

Impact GO encourages collaboration through peer verification, leaderboards, and squads—civic clans where users join forces to report and validate issues together. This transforms individual action into collective community impact.

🚀 Future Potential

• Integration with municipalities/NGOs → forward reports to civic bodies.

• Quadratic Funding → communities pool tokens to prioritize urgent fixes.

• Corporate Sponsorships → local businesses sponsor bounty pools.

• AI-Powered Verification → detect issue type automatically from photos.

• Squad DAOs → squads evolve into micro-DAOs managing their own bounty pools.
