Move-to-earn dapps are using blockchain technology to reward users for staying fit and healthy in the real world. Runnect Finance is a Move-To-Earn Application, focuses on your do exercise and burning calories daily. These are the platforms using blockchain technology to bring real benefits to people.

Summary

  • Move-to-earn rewards systems are another step forward in bringing the metaverse and the real world closer together.
  • Players earn rewards, tokens and currency for staying physically active.
  • Runnect Finance are just three of the platforms that are innovating in this space and breaking new ground for blockchain technology.

Jogging came to popular attention in the US in the 1960s. Over the past decade or so, with the growth of social media apps and a greater understanding of the importance of staying active, people’s focus has shifted more and more towards health and fitness. Athleisure is even a respected and fashionable style of clothing.

Against this backdrop, it seemed only a matter of time before blockchain technology was applied to gyms, jogging and physical activity.

Move-to-earn is Web3’s first step towards rewarding people in the metaverse for leading a healthy lifestyle in real life. Users of move-to-earn platforms can earn cryptocurrencies, NFTs and digital assets through the ancient practice of exercise.

Amidst the rise of fitness on the blockchain, we recognize a couple of key products: Runnect Finance. Each of these brings something new to the table, and rewards users for being active in their daily lives.

RNT setting the pace

Runnect Finance is a move-to-earn platform that rewards users for walking, jogging, running, and generally burning real-life energy. It is built on the Polygon, Ethereum blockchain and is compatible with the BNB Chain. It aims to nudge millions of people towards a healthier lifestyle by offering rewards from leaving their desk and moving around outside.

Users need to download the Runnect app, create a wallet, transfer some BNB into it and purchase a Sneaker NFT. There’s a range of Sneakers to choose from and the rarer, more expensive ones boost a player’s earning potential.

How RNT NFT Sneakers work

Unlike some move-to-earn platforms that use the reward mechanic as one component of the overall gaming experience, the ultimate goal of RNT is to be active. Buying NFTs allows players to do this. They can also trade these NFTs and rent them out to other people.

With most exercise apps, you can simply show your friends how far you’ve run and maybe earn some kudos. With RNT, you can make real money, just by going for a jog.
