This substantial community growth confirmed the high demand for applications that empower users to have healthier and more active lifestyles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Walken is a mobile app that utilizes smartphones\u2019 movement capabilities to count users\u2019 steps and reward them with WLKN tokens and NFTs. It\u2019s in the public beta phase and downloadable in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/apple-store\/id1594168445\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">App Store<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.milkywayapps.walken&amp;pli=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Play<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The team,\u00a0<em>who also built Appyfurious and GetFit Apps<\/em>, is dedicated to onboarding millions of web2 users to web3. The registered Walken users had surpassed one million in August 2022, and despite the market downturn, the growing trend continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-walken-s-gameplay\"><strong>Walken\u2019s gameplay<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many factors have played crucial roles in this success. In addition to the app\u2019s sustainable tokenomics, easy user interface, and no entry barrier, the addictive gameplay has been an important factor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, Walken connects walking with online gaming and offers users opportunities to earn crypto. To this end, it uses mobile phone tracking abilities to count users\u2019 steps. The app also supports wearable devices to count the steps, including Apple Watch, MiBand, and Garmin. Besides walking, the app also counts steps while running as well as steps gained via running or walking on treadmills.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Walken<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Users can earn GEMs simply by carrying out these daily sports activities. GEM is an in-game soft currency, not a cryptocurrency. At the time of writing, 1000 steps equal 1 GEM. When users reach the 10,000 target steps daily, they can earn 5 extra GEMs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Users can spend earned GEMs to upgrade their in-game NFT characters, known as CAThletes. When you first join the app, you\u2019re given one free CAThlete. These characters enter battles in PVP matches to win rewards paid in WLKN<em>, the app\u2019s native token<\/em>. The number of crypto tokens a user can earn depends primarily on the level of their CAThlete character.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Walken\u2019s referral program<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Walken distributes a unique\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@walken.io\/walken-referral-program-explained-545942b1a5c0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">referral<\/a>\u00a0code to each user, which they can share with friends. Existing users earn 10 GEMs for each new referral. Newly registered users receive 5 WLKN and 10 GEM tokens for a fast start. When you refer a friend to the application, you\u2019ll also earn 5% of the WLKN amount spent by that friend during the referral period. The duration period depends on the number of users you refer. For example, if you invite 1\u201325 friends, the period is 30 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1_b9AxJ9Hx9HDwFhQbMsss5Q.webp?resize=763%2C429&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62170\" width=\"763\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1_b9AxJ9Hx9HDwFhQbMsss5Q.webp?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1_b9AxJ9Hx9HDwFhQbMsss5Q.webp?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1_b9AxJ9Hx9HDwFhQbMsss5Q.webp?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nftnewstoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1_b9AxJ9Hx9HDwFhQbMsss5Q.webp?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 763px) 100vw, 763px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Walken<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Walken\u2019s ambassador program<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can join the\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/walken.io\/ambassadors\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ambassador<\/a>\u00a0program of Walken to support and promote the app. You can,\u00a0<em>for instance<\/em>, run local communities, create local content, onboard new players, educate the community with AMAs, or spread the word on social media.
