AfterShock – Community-backed reentry program leveraging blockchain

Summary: AfterShock enables communities to stake cryptocurrency on an individual's 90-day post-prison reentry success by verifying milestone achievements. Built on the Sui blockchain, it provides financial inclusion for people with criminal records who lack access to traditional banking.

What it does

AfterShock allows communities to stake crypto on six reentry milestones verified weekly by a peer supporter. Meeting all milestones unlocks funds and returns for the community, partial success breaks even, and failure directs funds to crisis services.

Who it's for

The platform targets formerly incarcerated individuals seeking support during reentry and communities invested in their success through accountable, blockchain-based funding.

Why it matters

It addresses the lack of financial access and support for people with criminal records by using crypto wallets that do not require credit checks, enabling accountability and funding during critical reentry periods.
