A platform encouraging long-term holding of ERG with treasure chests and various fund-locking options, rewarding users with NFTs.

Hodlbox is a gamified savings platform that encourages long-term holding of ERG through time-locked deposits and NFT rewards. Users can lock their ERG in "treasure chests" for specified periods, receiving unique NFT rewards upon completion of their holding commitment.

The platform implements time-locks through ErgoScript smart contracts that prevent early withdrawal. This creates credible commitment to long-term holding, which some users find helpful for maintaining investment discipline. Different lock periods offer varying rewards, incentivizing longer commitments.

Hodlbox adds an entertaining layer to the serious practice of long-term investing. The treasure chest metaphor and NFT collectibles create engagement beyond pure financial mechanics. The platform demonstrates how DeFi can incorporate gamification elements while maintaining trustless execution through smart contracts.
