Profile

Hey HN, I built Gauntlet (gauntlet.bet) — a platform where you challenge friends to fitness activities on Strava with real money on the line. Stakes are held in USDC on Base L2, so payouts are instant and transparent. No internal ledger — everything is on-chain. How it works: - Create a challenge (e.g. "Run 10K before March 1st — $25 stake") - Invite friends or make it open - Everyone stakes USDC via an embedded wallet (Privy) - Strava verifies completion automatically - Winners split the pot, losers lose their stake Tech stack: Laravel 12, React 19, Inertia.js, Tailwind, MySQL. Blockchain side is a Node.js sidecar using viem for USDC transfers on Base. WebSockets via Laravel Reverb for real
