Every Sports App Resets Your Streak Eventually. Mine Can't. 🔒⚡
This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Passion Edition What I Built Loyalty Ledger — a fan loyalty tracker where your check-in streak, badges, and history live on Solana instead of some app's database. Live app: https://loyalty-ledger-blond.vercel.app Here's the problem I kept coming back to. Every sports app wants you to check in, engage, "prove your loyalty" — collect points, build a streak, unlock a badge. Cool. Except every single one of them throws that history away the second you stop opening the app. Switch apps and your streak resets to zero. Get banned, or the app shuts down, or they just quietly decide to wipe inactive accounts one day — and your history is just... gone. Because it was never actually yours. It was a number sitting in someone else's database, and they could reset it, inflate it, or delete it whenever they felt like it. You had zero say in it. And that bugged me way more than it probably should have. Like — we figured out how to make ownership portable for money, for domain names, for digital art. But "I've supported Argentina since 2019" 🇦🇷 still lives and dies inside one company's backend, and nobody's really questioned that. So I kept the weekend scope deliberately small: prove one fan's loyalty to one team, for real, end to end — instead of sketching ten features that are all half-fake. You connect a wallet, pick a sport and team, and check in. FIFA World Cup is the fully working path here ⚽ — that check-in sends an actual transaction that creates or updates a program-owned account, not a row in my database somewhere. Your streak count, your badge tier, the actual badge tokens — none of it exists anywhere I control. Which honestly felt a little weird to build, in a good way. Once that core loop worked, I built the rest of the identity around it: a Fan Passport that shows your streak, a derived "Fan Score," your tier (Rookie → Devoted → Veteran → Legend 🏆), a progress bar toward the next tier, an achievements grid with locked/unlocke
