Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) announced Mooresville's Yunjia Quan as the winner of the Tenth District's 2022 Congressional App Challenge. Yunjia created Habit Cash, a motivational productivity-oriented software to combat burnout and lack of motivation.

Yunjia also wrote a Whitepaper for a digital token, ‘Habitcoins’. Users of Habit Cash can earn Habitcoins while studying and trade it for real money, with every transaction on a blockchain. 

"Congratulations to Yunjia on winning this year’s challenge with her ingenious design to motivate her peers and the millions of others who struggle to stay on task." said Congressman McHenry, "As an advocate for blockchain technologies, I was especially impressed she wrote a Whitepaper for Habitcoins. I am grateful for students like Yunjia who are using their intellect and skills to improve blockchain technologies and contribute to the digital asset space."
