Problem Statement

Bodo connects fitness enthusiasts with charitable causes through a unique blockchain-powered escrow system. How it works:The FlowCreate a Fundraising CampaignUsers create fundraising campaigns for causes they care aboutSet a target amount and deadlineGet a shareable link to promote their campaignMake PledgesSupporters pledge money per kilometer (e.g., $1/km)Pledges are secured in a blockchain escrow systemNo money moves until fitness activities are completedConnect Fitness ActivitiesFundraisers connect their Strava account to BodoActivities are automatically synced when workouts are completedThe platform tracks distance, time, and activity typeAutomatic PayoutsWhen a fitness activity is logged, the system calculates payouts -Each supporter's pledge is processed based on the distance coveredMoney is automatically released from escrow to the fundraiserFundraisers can then donate the funds to their chosen causeKey Features Secure Escrow: All pledges are held securely until fitness goals are met Automatic Processing: No manual intervention needed - everything happens automatically Transparent Tracking: Real-time updates on campaign progress and payouts Flexible Pledging: Supporters can pledge any amount per kilometer Supports: running with more activities planned.Why It Works This platform solves the motivation problem in fitness fundraising by creating a direct connection between physical effort and charitable impact. Fundraisers are incentivised to stay active, while supporters can be confident their money will only be released when actual fitness activities are completed. The blockchain escrow ensures trust and transparency, while the Strava integration provides verified activity data, making the entire process automated and reliable.
