Move2Earn on the attack

Not so long ago, we wrote about a new form of earning in cryptocurrency — Play-to-Earn. The principle is simple, just play games to earn assets. The assets can then be tokenized and withdrawn as real cash. This form of earnings allowed people to make a living only by playing. This used to be available only to a small group of people who participated in esports competitions.

Along with the P2E games category, a new form of Move-to-Earn gaming has appeared. In times of a pandemic, this was a great solution for people in quarantine. And just like in P2E games, the player earns money by playing M2E, the game is about moving. Physical activity is tracked via the smartphone’s GPS, accelerometer, magnetometer, proximity sensor and gyroscope. It is said that the use of such technology to check physical activity is a step towards creating smart devices for the fitness industry.

In M2E games, you can develop your character based on the player’s movement. For people who already exercise, run or play other sports, it can be a form of passive income. For others, it can be a good motivation to get moving and stay healthy. The most important message is — every move you make will pay off.

STEPN is one of the most popular games of this type. To start, you need to buy a pair of sneakers in the game. Then the application tracks the player’s steps using GPS and the virtual money earned in the game can be exchanged for quite real cash.

Another SWEAT game works on a similar principle and the prize appears on the player’s account every 1000 steps.

Yet another MetaGym game rewards its users with MetaGym Coins for every “mission” they complete. And it can be cardio rening, strength training or simply healthy sleep.

Now that the borders of all countries have opened again, a new trend in M2E games is predicted: Travel-to-Earn. And as the name suggests, you will have to make a real journey to receive a salary in such a game. Of course, GPS plays a major role here. This eliminates cheating and makes the game even more fun.

Due to how fresh this industry is, we will probably see its growth in the near future. It is also interesting in which direction this development will go. The fact that more and more people change their lifestyle to a healthy one and work on their condition is a very positive trend. So why not take advantage of it and start earning money?
