Project Description
StakED is a decentralized, gamified platform that lets students stake on academic performance and earn rewards based on real results. Using PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin, students can stake on their own or classmates predicted exam scores, with results verified by a designated verifier.
When exams are graded, the staking pool is redistributed automatically among winners through Hardhat smart contracts. All transactions, stakes, and claims are fully transparent and verifiable on Blockscout.
StakED turns learning into a competitive and gamified experience, rewarding confidence and effort with real on chain value.
How it's Made
StakED is built using React, TypeScript, and ShadCN UI for the frontend, with smart contracts developed and tested in Hardhat 3 using Solidity and Ether.js for integration.
The staking, claiming, and payout logic uses PayPal’s PYUSD ERC20 token. The entire system runs on Sepolia Testnet, with PYUSD as the stablecoin for all transactions.
For transparency and analytics, we integrated the Blockscout SDK and deployed a custom Autoscout explorer instance to index and visualize every contract interaction. The SDK powers on chain analytics such as total staked amount, win rate, and user performance metrics in real-time.
Hardhat 3 was used throughout development for Solidity testing. The result is a complete, transparent platform that uses PYUSD for stable payments, Blockscout for verifiability, and Hardhat for reliability.
