Eristica is a revolutionary P2P-platform that drives participation in challenges and online competitions. The project was launched in 2015 and has already got more than 1.2 million users. The platform enables each participant to launch and accept challenges, provide video footage of challenges completed and get ratings based on the results. Eristica users are also allowed to generate viral content with the videos of challenges getting millions of views on YouTube, and the winners becoming stars. The system of rating, reputation and ranking creates a powerful incentive for active participation. Competitive incentive makes players fight for top places in the rating, in the quest for fame and prizes.

Tokenization of the platform’s economy will offer the opportunity to get a reward for winning challenges, receive virtual reward from successful predictions and buy access to all services of the platform. Eristica is a universal platform, where each member of the community benefits from the synergy created within the ecosystem.
