About this project

The problem it solves

A location based scavenger hunting platform

Eureka turns everyday walks into treasure hunts with real on-chain rewards. In a world where we spend hours in digital spaces, Eureka brings you back to the streets — reconnecting you with your city through gamified, privacy-respecting exploration. Here is a video of me actually playing Eureka and earning on-chain rewards : Video

Live Deployments

🧭 How It Works

  • Follow AI-generated cryptic clues to uncover hidden gems nearby, or get whitelisted to add clues manually(connect to get whitelisted on the contract)
  • Arrive at the location, snap a photo proof of discovery
  • Share it as a "proof of location" collectible
  • Earn 5 USDC on Base for each verified quest (early users only)

🔑 Key Features

  • Interactive map showing nearby quests
  • AI-generated clues customized to real-world spots
  • Privacy-first location verification via zero-knowledge proofs
  • Built with ERC2771 (Account Abstraction-ready)
  • Shareable digital collectibles for each find

  • ZK Proofs to verify location without revealing it
  • On-chain incentives to reward real-world exploration

🚀 Live Traction

  • Mainnet launched
  • 10+ active explorers, 20+ discoveries
  • Early users will win rewards from a pool of $100 USDC
  • Every quest completed(3 places explored and 3 POAPS earned for the same) earns 5 USDC

📈 Growth Loop

With our "Create Quest" tool(any whitelisted user can add a clue):

  • Anyone can add locations
  • Local businesses sponsor clues to drive traffic
  • A self-sustaining ecosystem where:
    • Explorers earn
    • Businesses gain footfall
    • Eureka grows through user-generated quests

Challenges we ran into

  • Integrating Witness chain AVS on Eigen required us to be whitelisted and the setup itself took some time
  • UX and UI for such gamified experience was quite complex
  • Migration to mainnet needed audits + double checks + tests + fixing lots of bugs
  • Re-iterating at each step based on user feedback
