Singapore's government dating app pilot uses Gale-Shapley matching algorithm

Singapore has piloted FirstDate, a government-run dating app for public servants aged 21-35, built on the Gale-Shapley stable matching algorithm that won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Economics. The app ranks users' preferences, produces one mutually-stable match per cycle with a 72-hour decision window, verifies identity via Singpass, and only reveals contact details when both parties agree.
