Could you build this?
Partial The app itself is simple, but holding and refunding real staked money requires payment infrastructure and legal review (gambling, money-transmission, and escrow rules) that vibe coding does not cover.
What it would actually take: The technical stack is typical: web/mobile front end, a backend with goal verification, and Stripe-style payments with manual or escrow-style holds. The hard part is compliance: the product must be structured so it is not treated as gambling or unlicensed money transmission in target jurisdictions, which needs fintech legal counsel and possibly a licensed payments partner.
