The app aims to lower global carbon footprints by incentivizing physical activity to create a healthier and more active world. Sweatcoin pioneers a move-to-earn (M2E) style game, which is similar to a play-to-earn game, where users can earn monetary rewards for their participation. In this M2E game, users can actually earn crypto for being physically active in their day-to-day lives.

The team states that their app has increased their users’ physical activity by an average of 20% and has partnered with the NHS to help create a healthier society and reduce burdens on global healthcare systems. Moreover, though Sweat Economy states that they have never sold their users’ data, users will have the option to sell their movement data to healthcare companies.

STEPN has kickstarted the move-to-earn trend in early 2022 — with reportedly over 3 million users, it is the leading player in the M2E sector. While there are a wave of M2E incumbents joining the crypto space, Sweat Economy already has an existing application and global user base before launching a token and transitioning into a Web3 “lifestyle application”.
