MEET THE APP!
2Cents - where civics and gameplay meet.
2Cents is a platform that makes civic engagement simple, rewarding, and fun. It’s all about helping people take action, stay informed, and connect with their community—whether that’s through voting, volunteering, or education.
LEARN * PLAY * VOTE * ACT
LEARN
IMAGINE......
...you open the 2Cents App on your mobile phone, to be greeted cheerfully by Penny, your smart civic tour guide. Penny is quick, witty, and plugged into your world. Ask anything civic or app related and get the real time, up to date, 411 on the topic.
PLAY
Open the door to Penny's ARCADE...
Where civic education turns into interactive games and mini-challenges. Learn laws, local policy, and history the fun way — and get rewarded for it.
...and open the door to civic education that's fun for all ages...
VOTE
You’ll answer quick polls, keeping you on your toes about issues that matter (and don't)
Polls can be personal, local, cultural, political, or just for fun, and the entire experience is built to feel like an interactive social feed that you play instead of doom-scroll.
ACT
Now this is the part of 2Cents where the app stops feeling like “social media” and starts becoming real life.
The core idea is simple:
You give your two cents, and the community responds in real time.
Check the community pulse on any topic, and when enough people agree, a threshold activates — and boom — your community gets a real, actionable mission to take on together.
You scroll through the feed normally, polls, opinions, quick takes, and then you hit these “missions.” They look like posts, but they’re not just content. They’re real community actions started by real people: a garden build, a digital literacy class, neighborhood safety patrol, cleanup days, food drives, whatever the community wants to push forward.
Each mission shows you exactly what it needs:
✔ how many people
✔ when it starts
✔ where it is
✔ what issue it tackles (education, safety, environment, etc.)
Instead of liking or commenting, you can join it. When you tap Join Mission, you’re not just voting — you’re signing up to help.
Real consensus.
Real people.
Real change.
TRANSPARENCY - with teeth
You’ll earn points through our I.N.S.P.I.R.E. Score System for learning, acting, voting, and helping others within the app— turning civic participation into a game everyone can play. Every tap, vote, and action helps level up your score and neighborhood.
The I.N.S.P.I.R.E Score is a dynamic reputation system that tracks how individuals, leaders, regions, and businesses actually behave. Each person builds their score through real civic actions—voting, volunteering, supporting projects, and showing up. Those individual scores roll upward: political leaders inherit a collective Inspire Score based on the engagement and trust of the people they serve; regions gain a score from the performance of their leaders and residents; and businesses earn theirs through transparency, community impact, and how they treat people. Every layer generates its own score, but all layers feed back into the same ecosystem, creating a living metric of participation, accountability, and influence.
Behind it all runs a Civic Transparency Network — connecting data from public sources so you can see what’s shaping your community in real time. Who supports what, where the influence flows, and how it affects your everyday life. Don't forget to ask Penny what’s happening near you, and she’ll show who’s moving power — who’s making changes, and how you can join in.
The VIBE:
bright, animated, retro-game energy — but the purpose is real.
You see what people think.
You see where communities align and where they split.
It’s fast, transparent, and honestly addictive.
Accountability is long overdue because every part of our system—individuals, leaders, regions, and businesses—has operated without a clear, shared measure of impact. 2Cents ends that gap by turning actions into visible responsibility.
The whole idea is simple:
use the same energy people waste on social media, but redirect it toward something real, local, and useful.
2Cents takes the constant stream of opinions, reactions, and community energy and turns it into a 3D civic heat map — a living model of what your city actually cares about right now. You don’t just scroll and forget. Every tap, every vote, every suggestion pushes the social needle in your community.
People submit ideas.
The community chooses which ones matter.
And when enough people lean the same way, the map lights up.
Hot topics rise to the surface — literally — as glowing hotspots on the map. And when one gets hot enough, it doesn’t stop at awareness. It activates a real-world mission: a Community Objective tied directly to the pathways, groups, and local systems needed to make something actually happen.
This isn’t social media that dies in a feed.
This is social energy becoming visible — and then becoming action.
Your voice becomes a signal. Enough signals become momentum.
Momentum becomes change.
