What is Sweatcoin? How does the Sweatcoin App work?

We recently had this article written by a Sweatcoin Club member as an open letter to Sweatco. We are not 100% on-board with every one of these 10 but felt it was important to share.

Sweatcoin is a digital currency backed by physical movement. Sweatcoin verifies and converts movement into currency. Users can then donate it to charity, transfer to other users or spend on products, services, and experiences provided by Sweatcoin vendors and user community. If you have not already joined Sweatcoin click here now to join the best fitness app on the market.

1. Desktop sign-in is something that has needed to happen for a long time. I can't tell you how many times I have wished I could transfer Sweatcoins to someone on my computer. It is not like Sweatcoin would have any trouble doing it either! Sweatcoin makes you put in an email and a password to create an account so it should not be an issue to implement in the near future. This is a necessary feature if Sweatcoin moves onto a blockchain because most crypto-trading is done on computers. 


2. Official Sweatcoin Exchange - ability to make money from walking is what Sweatcoin is supposed to be all about right? Well that is only going to happen if Sweatcoin moves onto a blockchain. Then there is the problem of supply and demand. Because one Sweatcoin is created every 1000 steps there is technically an infinite supply of Sweatcoins, which means it will be very hard for Sweatcoins to retain value. However, this could be fixed if Sweatcoin put a halving mechanism in place, which is where the amount you earn is halved whenever a certain amount of people join. This would then help stop the infinite supply problem.

3. Better Marketplace Offers - At some point all of us have been by the offers in the marketplace. It seems that all of the offers are for a discounted product or a free trial that we don’t need. I am certain that if Sweatcoin simply got better marketplace offers, Sweatcoin would see a lot more users come in. I’m sure if Sweatcoin started offering gift cards to places such as Amazon or ITunes, Sweatcoin would see a lot more users. This is probably the most important thing Sweatcoin can do right now.

4. Sweatcoin Lottery - A lottery for Sweatcoins would be amazing. Sweatcoin could have a one sweatcoin entry fee and have a drawing every Sunday. There are tons of shady Sweatcoin lotteries but no official ones. Therefore an official lottery would stop people from giving their hard earned Swetcoins to horrible scammers. This feature would add some fun to the app and give people something to look forward to every Sunday and give people another way to get Sweetcoins. This would overall increase the activity of Sweatcoin users.

5. Leader boards - Haven't we all wished that we could go head to head against our friends on a leader board, and see who gets the most steps. Sweatcoin could even have a separate friend leader board and a world leader board to make things more fun. Prizes could be awarded daily to whoever walks the most. This would make people more motivated to walk because they are going against other people for a grand prize. This would be an overall smart and fun feature, that would probably help increase the Sweatcoin communities activity and would make people more likely to download the app.

6. The Official Forum Sweatcoin has plenty of unofficial trading and community forums but it does not have an official one. It would be amazing to finally have an official Sweatcoin forum. The forum could have announcements, ideas and even giveaways. This would be a great way for the very large Sweatcoin community to connect with each other. This would help Sweatcoin become a better app overall.

7. Feed From Who You Are Following - If you get live feed from your friends this would make Sweatcoin like a social media site. Everyone would be able to share their steps and photos with each other. Sweatcoin could even implement a dedicated messaging feature to let people connect with each other even more. Overall a live feed feature for Sweatcoin would make the app a much better experience and would boost the apps reputation.

8. Better Step Conversion - This is less a feature and more something that Sweatcoin needs to work on. On my phone only about half of my steps count and none of my indoor steps count. This is VERY important because they are paying you to walk, so they should perfect what they are doing. Also not getting your steps completely counted is very frustrating to me and a lot of other people. Just look at the App Store and Google Play Store and you will see that 95% of bad reviews are because of bad step conversion. I do understand that the indoor step counting feature is new and they are still working out the bugs, but that it still no excuse for outdoor steps to not be counted.

9. Unlimited Step Membership Option - Have you at some point have gotten more than 20,000 steps and wished, why can’t I get more? Well let me tell you, you are not the only one who has thought that! It would be so nice if you get as many coins as you want. Although, there are a few issues with implementing this feature. Hacking or manipulating the system would probably be more widespread. On the contrary this could be fixed if Sweatcoin bput more security and anti-cheating algorithms in place. This feature would be great for runners, or people with jobs that require a lot of movement. Overall this feature would draw in more hardcore runners and walkers, therefore strengthening the Sweatcoin app and Sweatcoin community.

10. Make It Possible To Get Sweatcoins Without The App Open - This is THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE YET. If Sweatcoin could find a way to let us get Sweatcoins without having the app open then TONS more people would download it. This would decrease the amount of battery people use on their phones and it would let people use Sweatcoin even if their phone is almost dead. If you combine that with an unlimited step plan then Sweatcoin would be an unstoppable force in the fitness and health industry. A lot of people complain that Sweatcoin uses too much battery, so if Sweatcoin implemented a feature that let people use Sweatcoin without the app open, then it would completely change the app.

Overall Sweatcoin is an AMAZING app already but it could be so much more if Sweatcoin could just implement a few of these features. 

If you have any suggestions for Sweatco LTD, we would love to hear from you and post them on our site. Let us know what you think Sweatcoin can do to improve.

Web  3 Move to Earn and play to earn applications are part of a growing  trend that allows users to exchange their personal data or activities  for compensation in the form of digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies  or non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These applications leverage Web 3.0  technologies, such as blockchain, smart contracts, and decentralized  networks, to create new digital economies and opportunities for users to  own, control, and monetize their data and actions.

Play  to earn applications are games that reward users for playing them,  usually by farming or collecting crypto and NFTs that can be traded or  sold on internal or external marketplaces. Some examples of popular play to earn games are Axie Infinity, CryptoKitties, and Decentraland1.

Move  to earn applications are fitness apps that reward users for being  active, such as walking, jogging, or swimming. Users typically need to  stake or own some NFTs, such as sneakers or wearable devices, that  influence how much they earn. The rewards are usually in the form of  native utility tokens that can be used within the app or exchanged for  other cryptocurrencies. Some examples of move to earn apps are Sweatcoin, STEPN, Step App, and SportE.

Both  play to earn and move to earn applications aim to align the incentives  of users and brands, promote user engagement and retention, and empower  users to benefit from their data and activities in the Web 3.0 era.
