Gauntlet

The application lets users create monetary wagers on fitness challenges tracked through Strava. Participants link their Strava accounts, define a specific activity or distance goal, and agree on a USDC prize pool. When the challenge period ends, the system verifies completed activities via Strava’s data and distributes the pooled USDC to the winners, while losers for their contributions.

It is intended for friends or small groups who want to add a financial incentive to their regular workouts, turning routine runs, rides, or hikes into competitive events with real‑world stakes. The platform handles the collection and disbursement of USDC automatically, removing the need for manual payments.

Because it relies on Strava’s activity logging and uses USDC as the currency, the service focuses on transparent, verifiable results and blockchain‑based settlement. The project is currently in an experimental stage, meaning features may still be evolving and the system is primarily suited for users comfortable with cryptocurrency transactions.
