Solo Mode

Users in Solo Mode are given NFT sneakers and must move in order to earn $STEPS tokens. Earning $STEPS tokens require spending energy. In the WalkN app, for every 5 minutes of move2earn movement, user would spend 1 Energy. To replenish Energy of your NFT sneakers, user need to use $STEPS tokens. These tokens can be either bought from DEX/CEX, swap $WALKN to $STEPS, or a user can use already earned $STEPS tokens from his wallet.

The WalkN app would enable a user to see a status indication their activity based on their speed. It would be walking, jogging or running.

In case of a weak GPS detection, it will be displayed on the app and user won’t be able to earn $STEPS tokens but also they won’t spend any energy.

Every minute of movement, a token will be rewarded based on four key parameters:

1. Type of Sneaker

Each sneaker NFT has a different base $STEPS return based on its type.

2. Efficiency of Sneaker

The more efficient a sneaker is; the more $STEPS it earns every minute. There is a total 30 levels, 0-29, users can only earn $STEPS. At the highest level, Level 30, users will be given the option to choose either continue earning $STEPS or unlock additional accessories such as mystery box, upgrades. Users at this level will have control over their earning types and they can switch back and forth as they want.

3. Comfort Attribute of Sneaker

The higher the level of comfort of a sneaker, the more a user can earn. At the highest level, Level 30, users will be given the option to choose either continue earning $STEPS or unlock additional accessories such as mystery box, upgrades.

4. Speed of Movement of Sneaker

Speed of movement of a sneaker is very important aspect to earn $STEPS.A user must stay within the sneaker’s range in order to achieve higher earnings. Anytime a user goes out of the optimal range of a sneaker, their earnings can drop by up to 80%, depending on the difference between the current speed and the optimal range.

Earnings will stop after the energy is finished but a user can still continue tracking their movements or manually exit Solo Mode from the app.
