What's Next for
Proof of Good?
Our current build proves the core concept — verified, on-chain good deeds rewarded in SOL. But the full vision is much bigger. Here's how we turn this MVP into a platform that companies, communities, and councils actually depend on.
Where We Are Now
Create Challenges
Companies deploy on-chain missions with SOL reward pools on Solana Devnet.
✓ BuiltJoin & Participate
Users connect Phantom wallets and join missions — participation recorded on-chain.
✓ BuiltSubmit Proof
IPFS photo links stored immutably on-chain. Verifiable by anyone, forever.
✓ BuiltDistribute SOL
Company approves proof. SOL transfers from mission pool to user wallet automatically.
✓ BuiltThe Roadmap
Four phases to take Proof of Good from a working prototype to a platform companies and communities depend on.
Impact Points System
Near TermThe biggest unlock for mainstream adoption. Introduce a points layer alongside SOL so companies can reward participants without navigating crypto regulation.
Non-transferable Impact Points
Users earn points per verified action. Points build reputation and unlock rewards — not tradable, so no FCA/MiCA friction.
Points → Real Perks
Redeem points for vouchers, sponsor discounts, event tickets, charity donations, or local business rewards. Makes the platform accessible to non-crypto users.
Crypto as Optional Rail
SOL rewards remain available where legally appropriate. But companies can choose: fiat vouchers, gift cards, or SOL. This broadens our client base to councils, universities, and charities.
Impact Score & ESG Dashboard
Near TermReplace boring CSR reports with a live, verifiable impact dashboard that companies can share with stakeholders, boards, and regulators.
Live Impact Score
A composite score calculated from: number of verified actions, geographic spread, participant diversity, mission categories, and community reach. Updated in real time on-chain.
Auto-Generated ESG Reports
Companies receive polished ESG/CSR reports generated from on-chain data. Instead of "we donated £10,000" they can say "we mobilised 2,000 residents and removed 4,500 bags of litter." That's the difference between a PR line and a verifiable claim.
ASA-Compliant Impact Claims
Every claim is backed by on-chain proof. Companies can make environmental and community claims that are substantiated, transparent, and defensible — exactly what the ASA requires and what greenwashing regulations demand.
Verification & Trust Layer
Medium TermThe platform's credibility depends on proof being real. We build a layered verification system so trust scales with the value of the reward.
AI-Assisted Proof Checking
Duplicate image detection, metadata verification, GPS validation, before/after comparison, and AI-generated image detection. Flags suspicious submissions automatically.
Community Verification
Other local users confirm the action happened. "3 local users must confirm this area was cleaned." Peer validation reduces fraud and builds community trust.
Partner Verification
QR code scans at food banks, charity sign-offs, event check-ins. High-value missions require partner-verified completion — not just a photo.
Account Compression (1000x Cost Reduction)
Migrate from individual participant accounts to Solana's compressed account model using ZK-rollups. Reduces per-participant cost by up to 1000x — making micro-rewards economically viable for missions with tens of thousands of participants.
Gamification & Community
Longer TermMake doing good addictive. Status, streaks, and social proof are more powerful long-term motivators than money alone.
Soulbound Badges & Identity
Non-transferable NFT badges: Street Hero, Food Bank Champion, Climate Warrior, Local Legend. These build a permanent, verifiable "Proof of Good" identity — more valuable long-term than any tradable token.
Leaderboards & Leagues
Local area, city, university, workplace, and team leaderboards. Companies can sponsor leagues: "Birmingham Community League — £50,000 reward pool for the top 100 teams improving their neighbourhood."
Team Missions
Families, schools, workplaces, religious groups, and student societies compete together. Unlocks employee engagement as a revenue channel alongside community CSR.
Gasless Transactions
Companies sponsoring missions also sponsor the gas fees. Users sign transactions but never pay. Removes the last barrier to mainstream adoption — no wallet, no SOL needed to participate.
On Regulation
We were advised early on to consider a points-first model rather than leading with crypto rewards — and we think that's the right strategic call for mainstream adoption, even if it wasn't our first instinct.
In the UK, the FCA's cryptoasset financial promotion regime applies to any firm marketing cryptoassets to UK consumers — regardless of where the firm is based. In the EU, MiCA introduces further requirements for crypto-asset service providers. Leading with SOL rewards narrows our addressable market to crypto-comfortable users and creates regulatory friction with councils, schools, and large corporates.
Our approach: lead with impact, add crypto as an optional rail. Companies choose their reward type — vouchers, gift cards, fiat, or SOL where appropriate. Solana remains our infrastructure backbone regardless. The blockchain is what makes the impact claims verifiable — that value exists whether or not the rewards are in SOL.
Phase 1: Points & Vouchers
Non-transferable points redeemable for real perks. Zero regulatory friction. Maximum company adoption.
Phase 2: Fiat Reward Pools
GBP/USD reward pools. Users cash out via bank transfer, gift cards, or charity donation. Broad appeal to non-crypto users.
Phase 3: Crypto Optional
SOL, USDC, and other assets where legally appropriate. Crypto-native users and Web3-forward companies choose this. Never the only option.
