FAQ's

Gaming4Good is a Web3-powered solution market where users stake crypto to solve real-world challenges through collective intelligence. Rather than betting on outcomes, participants contribute to consensus-building that leads to actionable impact and measurable results.

To join a collab:

  • Connect your crypto wallet.
  • Select or propose a live collab.
  • Stake crypto (converted to stablecoin) on your preferred solution.
  • Contribute ideas or upvote new ones during the deliberation phase.
  • Vote during the consensus phase and earn rewards if your solution wins.
  • Earn Hero Points for insight, engagement, and impact — your on-chain reputation that can unlock future perks, recognition, and governance power.

Staking is how you signal belief and commitment to a proposed solution. When you stake tokens, you contribute to the prize pool and decision weight. If your choice wins, you earn a proportional share of the rewards. Some contests also reward contributors of new winning options.

Unlike DAOs that focus on governance voting, and prediction markets that speculate on binary events, Gaming4Good introduces solution markets — structured, incentivized contests designed to solve problems, not just forecast them. It blends staking, collaboration, and consensus into a transparent, gamified decision engine.
