The primary incentive for using our apps is curiosity stimulating, enlightening self-discovery. Add to that achievements-engine sweeteners to make it more rewarding for you and the planet.
Blockchain. We’re not using the blockchain because it is the buzzy thing everybody is confused about. Its purpose is to unlock opportunities to invest in oneself while potentially making money trading Artifacts. Our blockchain’s virtual wallet allows multiple currencies, including the dollar. (How retro.)
Plant trees. Humans are hard-wired to give back, a good thing since we owe a debt to mother Earth. Planting trees is one of the easiest ways to spruce her up. Bad pun alert. If you spend dollars in our app, trees will be planted through American Forests as well as added to your virtual grove on the app.
Rewards for self, wallet & planet. Integrating blockchain capabilities and planting trees offer a win- win-win eco-system that fuels our products, our people (“Users”) and our planet.
Everything flows from attitude. It is the one thing we can control, regardless of circumstances. Through a series of quirky quizzes and modern data mash-ups you’ll see a broader perspective of you. Along the way you can build your personal book of wisdom.
A brief note from our lawyers: Boris has never been to med school (no opposable thumbs) and we do not offer medical advice. We’re here to light a spark so that you take better care of you. Here’s a health tip from Hippocrates (~500 BC): have a real-life relationship with a real-life doctor.
OK, so you’ve crushed candy and seen enough party pics that didn’t include you. It’s time to consider the un-game and un-Facebook; a place to unearth the most important person on your family tree: YOU. Your cousin may disagree.
Our wish for you: May you discover yourself over and over again, and may that learning help you live—really live—every day of your life.

In TapRoots, Users are not only guided by the vast wisdom of the ages, but also by the bristly wiles of our wild spokes-boar, ancient symbol of the raw power and bravery that lies within all of us. The year of his birth has been lost to the mists of time or by his clever use of the delete key, but when pressed he will admit to not having been carded for a while.
Boris (Slavic for “warrior”) is resourceful and intelligent with a personality so magnetic that he’s unable to carry credit cards. He has counted to infinity – twice. His sock drawer organizes itself. He has taught old dogs a wide variety of new tricks and is always there to help friends when they ask.
