🚀 Inspiration
Mental health tools are often reactive, clinical, or intimidating. We wanted to build something playful yet meaningful—a gamified self-care platform powered by AI, where users build healthy habits, not just track them. Blockchain adds transparency and optional reward incentives for personal growth.
⸻
💡 What it does
MindfulChain offers AI-guided mental health check-ins, journaling, emotion tracking, and mindfulness quests. Users earn XP and onchain NFT badges for consistency. A personalized AI agent supports mood improvement, while optional Web3 rewards encourage daily self-care and resilience.

🛠️ How we built it
We used React for the frontend, Supabase for user/auth management, and Groq API + Gemini for fast, context-aware AI agents. Onchain logic (like XP badges) is powered by custom Solidity smart contracts on Base testnet. The UI is gamified with animated streaks and emotion charts.
