Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm David, and I just launched AfterShock after spending the last 30 hours building it from scratch. Why I built this: I did 13 years in prison. When I got out, the system gave me nothing—no bank account, no housing support, no one invested in my comeback. Just a $50 bus ticket and expectations I'd fail. 68% of people released from prison end up back inside within 3 years. Not because they want to, but because the system is designed that way. So I taught myself to code and built the platform they should've built. What AfterShock does: Communities stake crypto on someone's 90-day reentry success: - Choose 6 milestones (housing, employment, savings, etc.) - Navigator (peer supporter) verifies progress weekly - Hit 6/6 milestones → unlock funds + community earns 20% return - Hit 3-5 → everyone breaks even - Hit 0-2 → funds go to crisis services No waste. Just accountability and skin in the game. Why blockchain: People with criminal records can't get bank accounts. 83% are denied. Crypto wallets don't check credit scores or backgrounds. Financial inclusion from day one. What's live: - Smart contracts deployed to Sui testnet - Full React dApp with wallet integration - Real on-chain transactions - 6 routes, 3 user roles, mobile responsive - All code open source: [github.com/dagifromdmi/aftershock-dapp](http://github.com/dagifromdmi/af...) Where we're going: - Pilot with 5-10 participants in Denver - Data-driven validation - Mainnet launch in Q2 - Scale to 12,000 annual releases in Colorado - Eventually: 600,000 nationwide **What I need:** Feedback from people who understand tech, blockchain, or reentry. This is testnet—break it if you can. Tell me what's missing. And if you know anyone in criminal justice reform, send them my way. AMA—happy to answer anything about: - Building with Sui/Move - Prison tech access (or lack thereof) - Designing for financial inclusion - Reentry system failures - Solo founder building in public Thanks for checking this out. The system wrote me off. I'm proving it wrong. 🔗 Live demo: shock-dapp--[theupside.replit.app](http://theupside.replit.app) 💻 GitHub: [github.com/dagifromdmi/aftershock-dapp](http://github.com/dagifromdmi/af...) ⛓️ Built on: @SuiNetwork - David

Congrats on the launch! Love how AfterShock uses milestone‑based staking on Sui to align incentives around 90‑day reentry success while still routing missed goals to crisis services—powerful, mission‑driven design.

@zeiki_yu Thank you so much for the support. Most blockchain based initiatives aren't pro-social, I aim to use the tech to really help solve a real problem. Any feedback or suggestions highly appreciated.
