Forest Onchain is a smart contract project inspired by the popular web2 app Forest — a productivity tool based on the Pomodoro Technique that helps users stay focused and build better work habits.
This on-chain version brings the same concept to Web3, introducing transparency, automation, and gamified incentives through blockchain technology.
The Pomodoro Technique divides focused work into timed sessions (typically 25–60 minutes), followed by short breaks.
In Forest Onchain, every session and break is tracked and enforced by smart contracts.
To ensure fairness and automation, the contract uses Chainlink Automation to trigger the end of each focus session automatically.
-
Custom Categories:
Users can create categories for different focus areas — for example, Study, Work, Exercise, etc. -
Timed Sessions:
Within each category, users register focus sessions ranging from 20 to 60 minutes. -
Mandatory Breaks:
A short break is required after each session to maintain balance and prevent burnout. -
Progress Tracking:
The app tracks how much time each user has focused per category.
-
Users must set focus goals, defining:
- The number of sessions to complete.
- The deadline for completion.
- The amount of ETH to stake as motivation.
-
Goal success:
If the user completes all sessions within the deadline, their staked ETH is returned. -
Goal failure:
If the goal is not met in time, the staked ETH is used for charity to grow trees. -
The stake amount is proportional to the number of trees (sessions) the user plans to grow.
After each completed session:
- A virtual tree is grown, representing your focus and progress.
- The more sessions you finish, the denser your on-chain forest becomes.
- Missed goals still contribute to the global tree count — ensuring that every bit of effort contributes to growth.
- Smart Contracts: Solidity (Ethereum-compatible)
- Automation: Chainlink Keepers (Automation)
- Framework: Foundry (for development and testing)
- Blockchain: Ethereum / Layer 2 compatible
