Problem Statement

FINPATH: THE WEB3 ADOPTION ENGINE FOR LATAM YOUTHThe challenge is clear: Latin American youth are highly vulnerable to debt and financial instability, a problem exacerbated by the complex, high-risk allure of Web3 and DeFi. Without a foundational understanding, this digital economy becomes a trap.FinPath is the comprehensive, next-generation dApp engineered to solve this crisis.We transform financial education into a rewarding adventure through Interconnected Gamified Worlds. Users progress through a unified skill-tree, mastering essential Personal Finance (P-Fi) concepts—from basic money flow and income generation (Active vs. Passive), to conscious consumption, budgeting, and intelligent debt management (Good vs. Bad).Our key innovation is the Invisible Adoption Engine.FinPath seamlessly integrates advanced Web3 and DeFi tools into the core gameplay, making the technology feel native, not complex. Users execute simulated actions like:Custody & Identity: Generating a digital ID and securing their first "Bóveda" (wallet) to receive an airdrop.Smart Contracts: Using "Smart Contracts" to automatically allocate budget (50/30/20 rule) or staking tokens to generate passive income.DeFi Swaps: Performing simulated currency exchanges (Pontarium Fluxaria) to navigate between fiat and blockchain economies.NFTs: Earning soulbound tokens that certify financial literacy (e.g., "Conscious Consumption Card") or boost their in-game credit reputation.The result: Users are mastering decentralized custody, liquidity, and asset management without ever needing to understand complex blockchain jargon.FinPath's Impact: We don't just teach; we forge a generation of Digital Natives with the confidence and autonomy to turn DeFi risk into sustainable opportunity. We are the essential onramp for responsible Mass Adoption in the region, empowering youth to build generational wealth and secure their financial future.

Solution

The FinPath project was developed using a monorepo format, which allowed us to build frontend components utilizing Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Google Fonts, and various other design libraries to improve the interaction within our application.The entire project infrastructure was built on the Base Network.For connectivity, we incorporated technologies such as Privy, which helps us create a login system, alongside Drizzle ORM connected to PostgreSQL, which enabled us to validate specific information.Finally, the project includes Web3 systems and connections to an ERC-1155 smart contract, leveraging the APIs of all the validation systems we mentioned.
