Picture this

Who it is for

Six stables promise a return. Every minute the contract compares what each paid against what it promised and moves a third of the worst one's share to the best. Stables post a bond and lose it if they fall too far behind.

Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

What is new

Continuous, contract enforced reallocation by kept promises was not found.

Closest things out there

Yield aggregators like Yearn.

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

What you own

The whole app, not a starter kit.

The complete Contest app: savers put USDC in a pool where yield providers race against their own public promises every minute, with bonds that pay savers first, plus a paywall and steward agent built in.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The recipe (how it is built, the data, costs, risks, build order, the pitch and the demo script) is unlocked when your app is paid in full.

The need

Savers who park USDC with a yield provider usually learn it missed its promised rate weeks or months later, in a report. By then the money sat earning less, or nothing, and moving it was a manual job.

What exists and what is new

Yield aggregators such as Yearn already move deposits between strategies to chase the best rate, and many vaults rebalance automatically. What the research did not find is continuous, contract enforced reallocation judged by kept promises: providers publish a rate and post a bond, the contract compares paid against promised every minute relative to the field, and moves part of the worst share to the best while slashing bonds below a line. Research verdict: high novelty for the mechanism; the underlying idea of automated reallocation is not new.

The data it runs on

Unlocked when your app is paid in full

1.The mission

Make a yield promise something a provider has to keep in public, every minute, with its own money on the line.

2.Why people can't resist it

Watch it like a race A live board ranks providers by promises kept. Savers check it the way they check a score.

Bond pays first If a provider falls far behind, its bond covers the gap before depositors lose anything.

Sunday race card One weekly card with the field ranked by kept promises, a streak for checking, and one tap to leave.

3.How it works for real

Unlocked when your app is paid in full

4.Pricing

Cost per use: unlocked when your app is paid in full.

Saver Free to join
Deposit, withdraw and see the board. The owner takes a small share of yield instead.
Pool fee 0.25% of yield earned
Taken only from yield actually paid, never from deposits.
Provider listing $200 per month
Yield providers pay to be in the field, in addition to posting their bond.

5.Growth loop

The weekly race card is shareable and ranks providers in public, which providers themselves will promote when they rank well. Start with one community, such as a SACCO or a savings group, then open more pools with different fields.

6.Risks and guardrails

Unlocked when your app is paid in full

7.Build order

8.Where this is going

  1. Now
    One pool, a few providers, a live board that shows who keeps their word.
  2. Next
    Many pools with their own fields and rules, chosen by savings groups.
  3. Later
    Kept promise records become a public reputation that providers carry between pools.
  4. The big picture
    Anyone, anywhere, can save with providers that have to prove every minute that they deliver, instead of trusting a brochure.

Nine routes from one vessel. Tap a port to open its chart.

Why own Contest

Contest: Your savings ride with whichever yield provider is keeping its promise, and money moves away from any that fall behind. Using someone else's version means their rules, their brand and their revenue. Owning Contest means it is deployed under your wallet, carries your name, and every customer, partner and result builds your track record instead of theirs.

What’s stopping you?

“I am not technical.”

Contest arrives deployed with a guide. Running it is settings and sharing links, not code. If you get stuck, we help you ship it.

“What if nobody uses it?”

Start with ten people you already know. The first move below takes under an hour and tells you fast whether people care.

“I do not have time.”

Each step is sized in minutes. Most owners spend an hour a week, and the app does the repetitive part.

“Will it make me money?”

Nothing is guaranteed. The playbook gives you a clear path and honest numbers, and you decide how far to take it.

The million-dollar ladder

Charge the people who get the most value from Contest: a monthly plan for groups or teams, plus setup fees for anyone who wants it done for them.
