Do it. Or pay. Put real money on your commitments. Miss the deadline, lose it automatically. On-chain. Free.

I built an app that takes your money when you miss your own deadlines.

Here's why.

@ZachSDaniel1 Would be happy to test, is there API available already? Might be a nice match with https://t.co/hDS2zqvrxj ;)

every accountability tool has a free option: doing nothing

the one that works puts a price on it

[due.box @_duebox]

the entire self-help industry is built on motivation

behavioral economics proved 50 years ago that loss aversion is 2x stronger than motivation

we just keep ignoring it because "believe in yourself" sells better than "put $20 on it"

[due.box @_duebox]

@Leentynstech appreciate the support, seriously

[due.box @_duebox]

@Rhocrypt it's on the list. you're the third person to ask so it's happening soon

[due.box @_duebox]

accountability partners don't work because the social contract is "we both agree to be lenient"

nobody wants to be the friend who says "you owe me $50 now"

that's why you need something that doesn't care about your feelings

[due.box @_duebox]

the gap between who you think you are and who you actually are is measured in missed deadlines

sorry

[due.box @_duebox]

@DayveedChigozie @Leentynstech more like financial accountability. you pick the amount so it stings just enough to make you think twice before hitting snooze

[due.box @_duebox]

@Basedclinton1 @Leentynstech exactly. you choose the amount, so it's whatever hurts enough to keep you honest. the point isn't punishment, it's making the cost of quitting real instead of invisible

[due.box @_duebox]

@Basedclinton1 @Leentynstech check out https://t.co/LbD0mTabQa if you want to see how it works under the hood

programmable money was supposed to change everything

so far it's mostly been used for: trading other money, lending money, and creating new money to trade

what if we used it for something weird, like actually keeping promises

[due.box @_duebox]

@Leentynstech couldn't have said it better

[due.box @_duebox]

your to-do app when you skip a task: "moved to tomorrow :)"

your calendar when you miss an event: quietly disappears

your credit card when you miss a payment: hits your credit score

guess which one actually changes behavior

[due.box @_duebox]

@Leentynstech exactly why we built it

[due.box @_duebox]

every habit app has the same problem: you can just close it. there's no consequence for ignoring the reminder. that's not accountability, that's a suggestion

[due.box @_duebox]

you don't need another app to track your habits. you need something real to lose if you don't follow through

[due.box @_duebox]

@Leentynstech you'll be first to know

[due.box @_duebox]

Beeminder charges your credit card. stickK sends money to charity. We use ERC-20 allowance - your USDC stays in your wallet until you fail. No custody. No chargebacks. Just consequences.

[due.box @_duebox]

prediction markets let you bet on other people's outcomes. we let you bet on yourself. put USDC on your own deadline, miss it and you lose it

[due.box @_duebox]

Q1 is almost over. Count how many goals you set for this quarter that you actually finished.

Now imagine if you had real money riding on each one.
