Sweatcoin works by tracking and verifying your outdoor steps using your phone’s accelerometers and GPS location, using our verification algorithm. Your steps get converted into our currency - Sweatcoins.
1,000 outdoor steps = 0.95 Sweatcoins. We charge a small 5% commission per Sweatcoin created. This is so we can keep our lights on, and continue to provide Sweatcoin for free.
Currently, Sweatcoin can only convert outdoor steps because GPS is one of the inputs. This means that your indoor steps (including gym, treadmill, etc.) will not count… for now! We’re working to develop the functionality to do this, but it will take some time.
We created Sweatcoin with the desire to help people move more and stay motivated along the way. We are a small passionate team and want to deliver you all the best product possible, but understand that there are still some things that can be improved. We'll get there soon!
