Sweatcoin

Sweatcoin is a fitness app that tracks your outdoor steps and converts them into a digital currency called Sweatcoins. You can spend these coins on gadgets, sports kit, or donate them to charity. They recently launched a crypto token ($SWEAT) to give real value to your steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does it pay real money?

Not directly. You earn 'Sweatcoins' which can be redeemed for discounts, products, or gift cards in their marketplace. However, the new $SWEAT crypto token can be traded on exchanges for real money.

2. Does it track indoor steps?

Historically, it only tracked outdoor GPS steps, but newer updates now count indoor steps (like on a treadmill) more accurately.

3. Is the app free?

Yes. The basic version is free. There is a 'Premium' subscription that doubles your earnings for every step, which costs money (or coins).

4. Does it drain battery?

Sweatcoin runs in the background. While it uses GPS, they have optimized it to be battery-efficient, though it will use more power than a standard app.

5. How many steps to earn 1 coin?

You earn roughly 1 Sweatcoin for every 1,000 steps. There is a daily cap on how many steps count toward earning unless you upgrade.
