Global Aura Tokens with Group Earning
A social interaction platform enabling token-based rewards through group activities
1. Overview
This document outlines the plan for building a social interaction app where users can earn, transfer, and spend Aura tokens globally. Groups are one of the ways users
can earn Aura, and the app includes gamification, voting mechanisms, and real-time interactions to keep users engaged.
2. Core Concept
Global Aura Tokens: Aura is a universal currency in the app. Users can earn, transfer, and spend Aura across the entire platform.
Groups as Earning Hubs : Groups are one of the ways users can earn Aura. Other ways include individual activities, challenges, or rewards.
Voting Mechanism: Within groups, users can vote to distribute Aura to others based on contributions (e.g., jokes, stories, or participation).
3. Key Features
A. User Management
1. User Registration and Authentication:
Users can sign up and log in using email, phone, or social media
Each user has a profile with a unique username, avatar, and a global Aura wallet
2. Global Aura Wallet:
Each user has a single wallet to store Aura tokens earned from all activities (groups, challenges, etc.)
B. Group Management
1. Create/Join Groups :
Users can create or join groups of 5-6 people
Groups are focused on specific activities (e.g., joke-sharing, storytelling)
2. Group Activities:
Users participate in group activities to earn Aura
Example: A user posts a joke, and others vote to reward them with Aura
C. Tokenization (Global Aura)
1. Minting Aura:
Aura is minted when users complete specific actions
The total supply of Aura can be capped (e.g., 1 million Aura) or inflationary
2. Earning Aura:
Group Activities: Users earn Aura through participation and votes
Individual Activities: Completing tasks (daily logins, sharing content)
Challenges: Global or group-specific challenges
3. Transferring Aura:
Users can transfer Aura to others
Transfers can happen manually or through voting
D. Voting Mechanism
1. Propose Aura Transfer :
Any user can propose to reward another user with Aura
2. Vote:
Group members vote on the proposal
Majority approval triggers transfer from group's reward pool or proposer's wallet
3. Vote History:
All votes and transfers are recorded for transparency
E. Gamification
1. Leaderboard:
Global leaderboard shows users with the most Aura
Group-specific leaderboards
2. Achievements:
Users earn badges or achievements for milestones
3. Activities:
Fun activities like joke contests, storytelling, or trivia
F. Notifications
1. Real-Time Updates:
Notify users about new activities, votes, or Aura transfers
2. Reminders:
Remind users to participate in ongoing activities or votes
