Main Takeaways
Binance Labs has invested in Moonwalk Fitness, a fitness accountability app that combines gamification and financial incentives to promote healthier lifestyles. The app offers gamified fitness challenges that allow users to earn real-world value.
Moonwalk Fitness encourages users to hit daily step goals by staking USDC, SOL, or BONK. To win, users must either meet their crew’s step goal or maintain pace with the leader’s highest completed days. Failing to do so results in forfeiting a portion of their stake, which is then redistributed among the winners.
Moonwalk Fitness is part of an emerging wave of blockchain-based apps that prioritize simplicity and accessibility for non-crypto users. Built on the Solana blockchain, the platform seamlessly integrates blockchain technology to manage rewards, while keeping the user experience intuitive and user-friendly. Moonwalk Fitness abstracts the complexities of crypto, allowing users to earn rewards that can be easily converted into real-world value, seamlessly introducing Web3.
With this funding, Moonwalk Fitness plans to accelerate product development to make its upcoming iOS and Android app more accessible to non-crypto users. Additionally, the app will broaden its focus beyond step challenges to include other health-focused activities, driving mass-market growth through its rewards system.
“By combining fitness with financial incentives, Moonwalk Fitness is not only promoting healthier lifestyles but also demonstrating how blockchain can offer real-world utility in an intuitive and accessible way. At Binance Labs, we support early-stage projects that prioritize meaningful innovation and real-world adoption, and we’re excited to help Moonwalk Fitness bring Web3 to the masses,” said Max Coniglio, Investment Director, Binance Labs.
“We are thrilled to have Binance Labs join us on this journey,” said Sol, Co-Founder, Moonwalk Fitness. “With their backing and strong support, we’re one step closer to bringing Solana and blockchain technology to the mainstream. By making fitness fun and financially rewarding, we believe we can inspire more people to lead healthier lives.”
