Overview

Bula

Brothers Jack and Josh Booty — with professional sports backgrounds — identified a gap: existing social platforms excel at sharing highlights but lack authentic competition mechanics like challenges, video proof, judging, and accountability.

Bula (Fijian for 'life'; playful slang for 'pay up') enables users to issue challenges, upload video evidence, and appoint judges to determine winners.

The Challenge

What we needed to solve.

The technical mandate was stringent: build a 'Web3-first' application where blockchain complexity remained invisible to users.

The team needed a sleek, TikTok-like interface supporting instant engagement without navigating crypto wallets or technical friction.

MVP had to ship within six months and support high-performance video playback while managing secure blockchain-based settlements behind the scenes.

The Bula app is simple, elegant, and unlike anything else in gaming or social. We pushed the boundaries of blockchain, storage, and login technology and came out with a product at the absolute forefront of Web3.
