Blockchain-powered work tracker with automated payments - track work hours, submit to blockchain, earn USDC automatically

Kapture

Unlock Your Days

Get paid your full salary upfront, then unlock it daily by proving you worked.

What Is This?

Kapture flips traditional payment on its head:

Traditional Way:

• Work for 2 weeks or a month
• Wait until payday
• You get paid

The Kapture Way:

• Get your full monthly salary upfront (e.g., $3,000)
• It's locked in a blockchain vault
• Each day you hit your work quota → That day's portion unlocks (e.g., $150)
• Miss your quota → You lose that day's payment
• Everything is automatic and verified on the blockchain

Example:

You're a UX engineer earning $3,000/month. On day 1:

• Your employer locks $3,000 USDC in a vault for you
• You need to work 8 hours/day to unlock $150/day
• Kapture tracks your work automatically throughout the day
• At the end of the day, proof is sent to the blockchain
• If you worked 8+ hours → $150 unlocks to your wallet
• If you worked less → You lose that $150
• Repeat for 20 working days

Who Is This For?

• Companies with remote workers - Ensure accountability without micromanagement
• DAOs - Pay contributors with built-in verification
• Freelancers - Build trust with new clients through provable work
• Self-discipline - Lock your own money to force yourself to work
• Bootcamps/Education - Students unlock refunds by completing daily work
• Anyone who wants automatic, trustless work verification

How To Use It

If You're An Employer

Setup (takes 5 minutes):

2. Choose "Employer" when asked
3. Create a payment vault (the app will guide you)
4. Put USDC into the vault (e.g., $3,000 for one employee for one month)
5. Set the rules:
   • Daily work hours needed (e.g., 8 hours)
   • Daily payment amount (e.g., $150)

Daily usage:

loggerheads start

Just work normally. Kapture captures your activity automatically. At the end of the day:
