Blockchain-powered influencer & affiliate marketing platform. Replaces flat-fee influencer payments with performance-based, on-chain verified commissions. Influencers select real products, mint NFT product bundles as shoppable links, and earn commission only when actual sales occur.
Building — YounFit as First Brand
Chain: EVM-compatible L2 · Pilot brand: YounFit.com · Market: $30B+ influencer marketing · Status: Onboarding influencers, selecting KYC'd fiat + crypto payment rails
The Problem: Brands spend billions on influencers with no connection between spend and sales. Influencers get flat fees regardless of results. Nobody knows what content converts.
The Model: Influencers choose products from brand catalogs (skin in the game), create content, mint NFT bundles as shoppable links. Consumer clicks → items added to cart on brand's e-commerce site. Tiered commission: higher for featured items, lower for session add-ons. Smart contract escrow holds commission until return period expires.
Pilot: YounFit.com — real e-commerce store, real products, existing network of athletes and coaches.

MVP Live — Pitching
Chain: EVM · Market: $13T construction · Status: Presenting to developers and potential investors
The Problem: The construction industry has no standard, tamper-proof way to issue, track, or verify warranties. Paper-based systems are lost, falsified, or disputed.
The Solution: Immutable on-chain warranty records. Contractors issue, property owners verify, insurers validate — all from a single dashboard. Smart contracts enforce warranty terms automatically.
Stakeholders: Contractors, property owners, warranty providers, insurers, government regulators.

Personalized health intelligence platform for coaches and nutritionists — programming, sessions, and client data unified in a coach-branded workspace. Sits on top of existing booking tools rather than replacing them. Built with AI to surface the client who has drifted before you would think to look.

Category: Health Intelligence / Solopreneur SaaS · Target: Independent coaches and nutritionists · Status: MVP live, applications open
The belief: You cannot out-train a bad diet. Test, do not guess. Body transformation is a team sport. Results matter. A coach plus structured, data-informed guidance is the highest-leverage health intervention available.
What it does — three pillars:
· Information. Build once, deliver everywhere — programming, plans, libraries, lab notes. Hosted on the coach’s domain, in their brand, their voice.
· Interaction. Two sides of the same screen — sessions, messages, check-ins. Coach keeps their existing booking page; nothing migrates.
· Data. Labs, body metrics, adherence, progress. The system surfaces the client who has drifted before the coach would think to look, so the next conversation starts with the right question.
Why now: The creator economy plus AI is making one-person coaching practices viable at scale. Precious Health is the intelligence layer underneath them.
