Primer
If you were paying attention to blockchain technology recently, you are probably already familiar with the concept of Game-Fi.
Since 2021, GameFi has been rapidly taking over the traditional gaming industry. It attracts millions of gamers by offering them an opportunity to make money while having fun. Players can earn financial rewards by completing tasks, battling other players, and progressing through the different game levels.
This new model — called “play-to-earn” — powered by blockchain technology (crypto, NFTs, etc..) is becoming the new king in the gaming industry.
Could Game-Fi also be used outside of gaming?

Focus Apps

Time spent on mobile apps has been on the rise these last few years. Today, Americans spend an average of 4 hours a day on their phones, up from 1 hour a day in 2012. Some countries like South Korea, Brazil and Indonesia even surpassed 5 hours per day.
This is not surprising: attention is the new gold and many companies are purposefully designing their apps to be extremely addictive (see the book Hooked by Nir Eyal)
This has devastating consequences on people’s health. Indeed, science has proven that phone overuse is closely correlated with anxiety, stress, depression and poor sleep quality. It has been well studied during the pandemic lockdowns.
That is why one in three US adults have taken active steps to improve their digital wellbeing — and keywords like “digital minimalism” are becoming more and more popular on Youtube and Google.
Who hasn’t felt guilty after scrolling down endlessly on social media feeds? or after playing too much Candy Crush? Who has already felt unable to focus on a task or a conversation with someone because constant notifications were popping up on the phone?

Solutions and limitations

To tackle this growing issue, many focus apps have emerged in recent years. Some of them, like Forest, often reach the top charts with over 40M+ downloads across the world.
But unfortunately, these apps are not effective for the vast majority of us.
People keep failing at respecting the limits they set for themselves despite the obvious benefits.They stop using the app after only a few days — while science has proven that you need at least 30 days to break a bad habit — and much longer for addictions.
If all current apps are failing the majority — the reason is simple: it is because they only rely on users’s willpower. But as we all know, willpower is often not enough. Otherwise, most people would have quit smoking or lost their extra pounds after New Year’s Day.
Current apps are simply unable to create any sort of leverage to drive positive changes. Thus, there are no real consequences for breaking the limits you set for yourself.
Fortunately, the recent techonological breakthroughs in Web3 have providing us with innovative tools to address this market in a complete new way.

A new era: focus-2-earn

Focus Tree is the first project to bring to life a functioning Focus&Earn concept with inbuilt GameFi & SocialFI elements using web3 most innovative technologies.

Earn

By spending less time on their phones (scrolling on social apps, etc.) and focusing on what truly matters, users will earn game currency which can either be used in-game or cash out for profit.
In other words: if users succeed, they will earn tokens. If they fail, they will loose tokens.
By incorporating those financial incentives — winning and loosing — we give another powerful reason for users to remain motivated and most importantly, persistent.

Gamification

We have introduced NFT — in the form of trees — within our app.
If the user keeps succeeding — the tree will grow — which will result in higher token earnings and rewards. If he fails, the tree will decay and perish.
The trees are designed to build an emotional connection, to keep our users stimulated. The size of your trees symbolize your progress in adopting new positive habits for yourself.
As many studies showed — gamification greatly helped users sticking around in health apps — especially younger users.
There are many more gamification features built within the app — but we want to keep the basics simple so newcomers can easily get started — while more experienced users discover new mechanics along their journey.

Social-Fi

Social-Fi elements were added to the app to make users more accountable in their decisions.
In our multiplayer mode, users will be able to challenge their friends. If he accepts, and one of you fail (ie: not using Tiktok more than 1 hour per day for one week), you will both loose tokens.
Social-Fi mechanics will also reward active and hepful members within the community.
Users will be able to earn souldbound NFTs — in the form of community badges — by being helpful towards the community and its members. Some will grant special rewards and boosts to their holders.

Conclusion

We are very excited to take part in this new genre.
Web3 innovative new technologies is a great opportunity to transform the value proposition made to users in this growing market.
Ultimately, our goal is to nudge millions of users towards a healthier mind and a fulfilling life while connecting the public to Web 3.0.
