Bitcoin-earning walking apps: the emergent crypto fitness fad
In the ever-evolving world of technology, fitness and finance are merging in an innovative way. A new breed of applications is offering rewards in cryptocurrencies for walking, running, and exercising, making health and wealth go hand in hand.
One such app is Cashwalk, a free platform that pays users for every step they take, whether indoors or outdoors. This app counts each step and converts them into cryptocurrencies that can be exchanged for gift cards or cash.
Sweatcoin, another popular choice, syncs with a smartwatch or can be viewed on the web. Users monetize every step they take with Sweatcoin, with a daily maximum of 10,000 points earned for every 1000 steps walked. The app records steps in the background, saving battery life, and is available on Apple's App Store and Google Play.
sMiles, developed by Standapp Inc., is another interesting option. This app allows users to earn fractions of Bitcoin (sats) by walking, shopping, and playing. To use sMiles, a Google Fit account is required, and the app uses the Lightning Network to reward users with Bitcoin. sMiles is available in countries where the Apple App Store operates, implicitly including Germany and potentially other countries supporting iOS apps.
Fitmint, another app in this niche, tracks users' steps and allows them to exchange FITT coins for popular cryptocurrencies. Fitmint uses data from Apple Health or Google Fit to track daily steps and provides information on user progress and performance. Fitmint rewards users with FITT cryptocurrencies by completing established challenges and is available on App Store and Google Play.
The app product 'sMiles' is just one example of how app development is a steadily growing niche due to the endless needs and preferences of people. Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, are being used as payment methods in various apps, particularly those related to fitness.
Moreover, some apps are offering additional incentives. For instance, sMiles refunds up to 30% Bitcoin for purchases, and Sweatcoin offers a Premium version to double earnings. Fitmint's sats can be used for shopping, and Sweatcoin's virtual currency, Sweatcoins, can be exchanged for real-world rewards.
Walking can now not only benefit your health but also your personal finances. With these apps, every step you take could be a step towards a healthier lifestyle and a more prosperous future.
