Show Up: The Web3 event protocol. Stake don't flake. The beginning of a new standard.
ShowUp is a revolutionary DeFi-powered event platform that transforms how people attend and organize events through blockchain technology. At its core, ShowUp solves the age-old problem of event no-shows by implementing a stake-to-attend model where attendees must stake cryptocurrency to secure their spot. Core Value Proposition: When users want to attend an event, they stake FLOW tokens (or FLR on Flare Network). If they show up and get checked in, they receive their stake back PLUS yield earnings. If they don't show up, they forfeit their stake, which gets distributed to attendees who did show up, creating a triple-value incentive system. Key Features: 💎 Staking & Attendance: Users stake 0.1-10 FLOW tokens to secure event spots Real-time blockchain verification of attendance Automatic stake returns upon check-in Forfeited stakes distributed to attendees as bonus yield �� Multi-Source Yield Generation: Time-based yield: 5% APY for holding stakes Pool sharing: Portion of forfeited stakes from no-shows Kitty Punch DeFi: Automated yield strategies on Flow EVM (14.7% APY) FTSO Delegation: Oracle rewards on Flare Network (15.2% APY) Combined APY: Up to 18.4% through multiple yield sources 🎖️ NFT Integration: POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol) integration Automatic NFT minting when users check in Permanent blockchain proof of attendance Commemorative collectibles for event memories Integration with major brands (Adidas, Coinbase, Google Cloud use POAPs) 🌐 Multi-Chain Architecture: Flow Blockchain: Main platform with Cadence smart contracts Flare Network: Secondary chain with Solidity contracts Cross-chain compatibility: Users can stake on either network EVM compatibility: Supports Ethereum tools and wallets 👥 Organizer Tools: Complete event management dashboard Real-time attendance tracking Revenue generation from forfeited stakes Automated check-in system with blockchain verification 🔥 Cyberpunk UI/UX: Futuristic design with neon effects and holographic styling Responsive interface optimized for Web3 interactions Real-time blockchain transaction feedback Professional-grade user experience Revenue Model: Event Creation Fees: Small percentage on event creation Forfeited Stakes: No-show attendees forfeit stakes to platform Yield Share: Percentage of generated yield from DeFi protocols Premium Features: Advanced organizer tools and analytics Target Market: Event Organizers: Who want to ensure attendance and generate revenue DeFi Users: Who want to earn yield while attending events NFT Collectors: Who value commemorative attendance proof Web3 Communities: Who want gamified event experiences
