the problem
Tinder, Hinge, Bumble — they all monetize loneliness. They don't care if you find someone. They care if you keep paying.
They monetize loneliness
Pay $30/month to see who already liked you. The app profits when you stay single.
Matches ghost
Endless swiping into a void. Conversations die. No accountability.
No skin in the game
Right swipes are free. Everyone swipes on everyone. Signal is meaningless. Women's inboxes are flooded with low-effort spam.
Your friends are already betting on your love life.
Who's going to hook up at the party. Whether Jake and Emily will last. If your situationship is going anywhere. This happens at every brunch, every group chat, every late night debrief.
The prediction market already exists. It's just informal, unstructured, and no one's getting paid.

LOCK makes dating a spectator sport with real stakes.
Men commit real money to show interest — women get paid just for being liked. Matches become prediction markets. Friends become bettors. Getting chosen actually pays.
how it works
Dating was always a market. We just added price discovery.
Commit & Pay
Men commit real money to show interest. Part of the stake goes directly to her as a commit fee — she earns just for being liked. The rest goes into escrow.
Commit $25 → She instantly earns $2. Higher stakes = higher in her stack. No stake, no match.
Match & Market Opens
If she swipes right, his escrowed stake becomes the first liquidity. Prediction markets open automatically. If she rejects, she keeps the fee and he gets the rest back.
Markets: Date Happens, Second Date, Kiss, Exclusive in 30 Days, Together at 90 Days.
Date & Attest
Go on the date IRL. Within 24 hours, both parties attest to what happened. Matching attestations resolve markets automatically.
Optional: Go live. Stream your date. Let the audience tip and bet in real-time. AI tracks body language and shifts odds live.
Get Paid
Markets resolve. Winners split the losing pool minus 10% rake. If you're chosen for a second date, you earn 5% of the total volume.
Your reputation updates. Win rate. Fill rate. Market cap. All on display. Being desirable has literal financial upside.
Jake & Sarah matched.
The market is open.
Jake staked $25 on his swipe. Sarah matched. His stake became the first liquidity. Now their friends are betting on whether they'll actually go on a date, kiss, or end up together.

the bigger vision
LOCK becomes the prediction market layer for the creator economy. Anyone with an audience can let that audience bet on their life. Dating is just the first vertical.
For Creators
New revenue stream
5% of every pool, no content creation required. Just live your life.
Engagement tool
Fans have reason to follow your real life, not just your content.
Content fodder
"My fans are betting on my date tonight" is a TikTok, tweet, and story.
For Fans
Skin in the game
Parasocial connection becomes financial. You're invested.
"I know her"
Fans think they have edge from watching content. Maybe they do.
Profit potential
Same dopamine as sports betting. If you're right, you make money.
The math for creators
Creator with 10k engaged followers. 5% engage with LOCK markets.
500 fans × $20 average bet = $10,000 per market
10% rake = $1,000 to LOCK
5% to creator = $500 per date
4 dates/month = $2,000/month passive
Who can use LOCK:
Creators bring audiences. Audiences bring liquidity. Liquidity makes markets work. It's a user acquisition channel disguised as a feature.
