What Is DAYSTARTER dApp (DST)?

DAYSTARTER is a Web3 Lifestyle dApp that improves your lifestyle and helps you instill new habits and reach your goals by focusing on "Wake-Up Routine," which is an essential part of your daily life.

DAYSTARTER is a Morning Routine and Habit Coaching Alarm dApp with the primary purpose of guiding people through the start of the day to help them live better, happier, and healthier. Often on other "Play-2-Earn (P2E)" or variations of "Move-2-Earn (M2E)" apps, users only use apps to earn tokens, deviating from the apps' intended purpose and abusing the apps for profits. It means they do not find the apps useful for the intended purposes and do not form an emotional attachment. Eventually, they stop using the apps when the price of the tokens drops, or it gets too difficult or competitive to generate profits. DAYSTARTER is designed to address this issue by creating a sustainable endless cycle of an economy that incentivizes users to continue using it as their daily life companion by forming emotional attachments and a community support system that motivates each other to keep them on their path toward their goals.

DAYSTARTER aims to help accelerate the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies by bridging and encompassing traditional non-crypto mobile app users who have not yet adopted cryptos to the crypto space seamlessly through familiar and easy-to-use mobile app design, achievable milestones and incentives.

DAYSTARTER detects and determines users' performance of the required Wake-Up Routine action using various sensors on users' mobile phones. Users will carry out assigned Wake-Up Routines that help them wake up in a good mood and earn DAYSTARTER Point (DSP), its utility token. DSP is used to obtain a new NFT or level it up. Users can request to exchange it into DAYSTARTER Token (DST), the ecosystem governance token, through the daily Token Generation Event (TGE).

What Makes DST Unique?

DAYSTARTER intends to create a transparent and self-sustainable service by combining the dApp ecosystem, Web3, and Metaverses in the rapidly emerging cryptocurrency market.

DAYSTARTER is a decentralized lifestyle coaching application incorporating crypto tokens and NFTs as rewards and incentives, focusing on its intended usage to improve users' lives. The incentives structure based on users' habits and tokenomics plays an essential role in driving their behaviors, keeping current users earning, spending, and consuming in an endless cycle to create their own economy in the long term to instill new habits. Thereby generating transaction fees shared back to the users.

DAYSTARTER is the bridge between the old and the new to bring people over from the old app system to the new dApp blockchain system. People use products and services that are useful, provide benefits, or increase their quality of life. Human nature is universal to want a better, more abundant, and happier life. That's why the market size of the self-development or Life and Personal Coaching industry in 2022 in the US alone is USD 1.4 Billion. They are highly motivated users who want to improve themselves and their life. Yet, the majority of them are not involved with cryptos. The untapped existing market potential that will transition over to crypto is enormous. US annualized life coaching market growth is 3.2% from 2017 to 2022. DAYSTARTER plans to capture them as one of the leading players in the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies by admitting traditional non-crypto mobile app users to embrace cryptos painlessly.

DAYSTARTER is simple and free to use to allow easy adoption by the mass. First, not to exclude users in less wealthy countries, DAYSTARTER lowered the barriers to entry into the crypto space by allowing users to download and use DAYSTARTER for free and start earning DST tokens without purchasing an NFT. Other dApps require users to have or purchase an NFT to use their platform (Financial Barrier to Entry for First-Time Users). The enormous smartphone user base in those countries cannot be ignored. They will have an opportunity to grow and improve their lives with the upcoming adoption of new technology. On Web3, global communities are essential. Currently, DAYSTARTER plans to have English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and Korean moderators on various social media platforms covering most of the world's population.

Second, DAYSTARTER chose an activity that should be performed daily and that you are already doing anyways. Our dApps help users transform their lifestyles and incentivize new habits and behavior patterns toward their goal of improving their lives (Toward-Motivator). Other traditional lifestyle apps simply annoy users to take action (Pain-Motivator).

DAYSTARTER aspires to overwhelm existing traditional alarm applications in two main ways:

First, a practical biomechanical approach and forming an emotional attachment relationship keep users active and loyal to our dApps as integral companions in users' lives with communities and support groups built around dApps (Higher user retention rate). Others do not approach user retention from an emotional approach and user incentivization from a biomechanical approach. DAYSTARTER has a group mode inherently built-in feature to create and synergize communities. A Rally mode is in development where groups can compete with each other for prizes. Users enjoy it more when they participate together in a group.

Second, Adaptable, harmonious, and symbiotic design (Non-Direct Competition) elements allow DAYSTARTER to grow with various other projects. Other projects are stand-alone projects that compete with one another and do not have a complementary relationship with the more established projects (Direct Competition).

DST is the native governance token that is used for:

1. DST holders can receive voting power for governance operations through "staking lock" DST Tokens and redistribution of the fees incurred on the ecosystem.
2. DST is used to purchase Achievement SBT.
3. DST is used on the Marketplace to trade Membership NFTs, Benefit NFTs, and Giftbox NFTs.
4. DST is consumed to initialize Benefit NFT attributes reset cost.
5. DST is the governance token of the Life3 ecosystem. This Web3 lifestyle ecosystem platform hosts all other lifestyle dApps to be released in the future by DAYSTARTER. Various matters concerning the ecosystem's operation are decided through voting and executed through the DAO.

DST tools include:

DAYSTARTER Creator Kit (DCK): https://docs.daystarter.life/dck
Through DCK, even non-experts can easily develop various elements that make up the DAYSTARTER ecosystem. Content creators who contribute through DCK receive the fees from the Marketplace as redistribution when other users purchase the content.
