Sweatcoin launches its first blockchain game to bring real-life steps to Web3

Sweatcoin, one of the leading Web3 step-counting apps, has launched its first blockchain game, Sweat Hero. Sweat Economy has released the game as part of a step battle, showing that the physical steps are the core part of the game, but users will have a chance to buy Leg non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Sweatcoin to release its first-ever blockchain game

The game offers a bi-dimensional approach that combines the Sweat Hero NFTs and steps made by a player in real life. When these metrics are combined, the total score made by the user is calculated.

Sweat Economy announced the release of this game on Twitter, with the company also saying that the platform would bring real-life steps in the web3 world. The platform would bring together the real physical steps with a user’s in-game skill.

“Sitting down to the game won’t make you a superstar. You’ve got to engage in healthy movement habits to win! That’s Sweat Economy,” the tweet read. The Sweat Hero gameplay revolves around tapping the steps on the “perfect zone” treadmill. The accuracy highlights the difference between a boost for the character and several virtual steps with which the user will earn rewards.

Sweat Economy offers three types of leg NFTs: Lean Legs, Toned Treads and Pedal Pushers. In the latter, the user gets maximum energy of 5/5, allowing them to earn more per step. On the other hand, the Lean Legs NFTs come with a common trait, with the earnings being notably less.

The gameplay largely revolves around steps. Players’ physical steps will be the base for the game. Additionally, the player can obtain virtual steps by playing Sweat Hero. The accuracy of the player determines the virtual steps that they will get. When the player gets more total steps than their opponent, they win SWEAT tokens.

Sweat Economy’s native token is still popular

The game is set to release its beta phase. SWEAT is the native cryptocurrency for the Sweat Economy and is currently being affected by adverse events in the cryptocurrency industry. The SWEAT token has plunged by nearly 90% since it peaked shortly after its launch in mid-September 2022.

At the time of writing, SWEAT was priced at $0.01035, according to data from CoinGecko. Despite the price drop, the move-to-earn concept remains largely popular. The staking program on the Sweat Wallet has already reported more than 2.5 Growth Jars, showing that users view SWEAT as a long-term investment opportunity.

The Web3 app has also seen more than 120 million users globally within a short time. Despite the bear market, it has also emerged as one of the most successful blockchain projects of 2022.
