What is move to earn (M2E)?
Have you ever had a challenge with your colleagues or friends to take as many steps as possible in a certain period? The reward? A team outing to don’t know a lot, but it’s free, so we want that. Everyone on your team gets a pedometer so you can go out together during your lunch. And in the evenings also an hour’s walk because those colleagues, you really don’t let them win, do you? Classic example of how competitive we humans are and how gamification works. But what’s better than winning a silly outing? Money, exactly. Bring it on!
Move-to-earn (M2E) is the development in crypto that allows you to receive free crypto when you move enough. Complete fitness goals, get x number of steps every day and compete against friends and family in a real fitness challenge. Work on your health and earn free crypto in a playful way. Life can be so beautiful! Although this M2E development is new to the world of crypto, it has been around longer than we think.
Health issues
The world suffers from a large number of obese patients, with America leading the way in this unhealthy trend. Shamelessly eating a record number of calories and a few years later struggling with health problems that their health insurance barely covers. It seems obvious that we will start living healthier, but a pandemic has certainly not stimulated us to exercise more. And the gym? With high inflation this is not feasible for many people. Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives. Now you no longer pay to live a healthy life, you are paid for this. Good life!
Gamification
Standing aimlessly on a treadmill hoping to burn off all that excess fat? Dull. And the makers of various game consoles also know this. The use of gamification stimulates the process. This is therefore used in almost all daily tasks. Do you have an iWatch and do you therefore exercise a little extra every day to achieve your exercise goals? Challenge your network and go for the most calories burned. Ready, set, go.
And how about learning a new language? Think for example of DuoLingo where you learn a new language in a playful way and can reach different levels. Get an update every day on how many levels your opponents have already completed. Are you competitive? Then you will probably do your best to catch up with him or her. But there are also numerous applications that stimulate physical activity.

Wii Sports
Chances are you’ve played tennis against a television screen or hit a bowling alley. Or were you the person who preferred to imitate all kinds of dances to score as many points as possible? No useless TikTok dances for as many views as possible, but score points to dominate the leaderboard! Now these forms of sport are of course minimal and they will not solve the obesity problem, but it is better than sitting on the couch with a bag of chips. And yet, by getting points and passing levels, you as a player are extra motivated to keep going . Need to check what happens when you get paid for it at all.
PokémonGO
Are you from a later generation? Then you undoubtedly know Pokemon GO. Literally the whole world was on fire and everywhere you saw both young and old obsessively looking at their phones in search of rare Pokemons. The chance that a Pokemon suddenly sat next to you was small, so you had to go out into the street. Put on walking shoes or running shoes and spend an hour catching Pokemons through the streets . The more the better. With what purpose? Just become the best.
But while you were so busy with the game, you are working on your health. And we did that en masse. With millions of users and a turnover of no less than $ 3 billion in 2020, we all went on the hunt. And while everyone thinks sports are boring, we fought for better health in a fun way with millions at the same time. It was so addictive for many that physically was no longer an issue, another half hour. Okay, another half hour, okay? Win win situation. Thank God for Augmented Reality (AR).

AIA Vitality
The South African company AIA Vitality also saw future music in this technology. As a health institution, physical health is central to them and they provide various tools to get everyone healthy. How? By launching its own health program where members receive points for their physical activity. These points can be exchanged for, among other things, shopping vouchers. And the real pushers can even lower their insurance premium when they have enough points . The benefit for AIA Vitality itself? Healthier users, in turn, lead to fewer insurance claims. Smart Thinking!
Blockchain games
Blockchain games seem to be popping up like mushrooms. From the popular DeFi Kingdoms to the new Evoverses game. It just shows how big the gaming industry is and how much money is involved. Move-to-earn is the next development in which it rewards users for exercising enough. And these are successfully received. Let’s briefly discuss some protocols in this blog.
STEPN ($GMT)
STEPN is a web3.0 fitness application built on Solana’s blockchain that pays you to walk or run . Yes correct, no expensive fitness subscriptions but you who receive money to exercise. They themselves speak of a combination of SocialFi and GameFi. And it’s not just a game, the creators have a clear goal:
- In this way they hope to motivate millions of people to lead a healthier life . Investing in your health is not a goal for many people, money, on the other hand, is a motivation for many people to do things.
- This is an ideal way to introduce people to the developments and possibilities of web3.0
- It is also good for climate change : because users are encouraged to walk and/or run, they will use the car less, which is better for the environment.
Sneakers
Before you can make the road unsafe, you need good sneakers. STEPN has its own NFT marketplace with tons of sneakers. Each sneaker is a non-fungible token that you need in the game. Each sneaker NFT is unique and has different properties. You can choose hiking boots, running shoes or trainers. Each of these also have a different uniqueness: ranging from common to legendary. The advantage? The more unique your shoe, the more rewards you will receive. At the time of writing, you have the cheapest sneakers for – hold on – around 1200 dollars.
You will receive sufficient instructions with each shoe. For example, in the example below you have to walk / walk between 4 to 10 km per hour to get rewards. With a simple interface like other running applications like Runkeeper, everyone is ready-to-go.

Genopets ($GENE)
Genopets is reportedly the very first move-to-earn NFT game. Just like Stepn, this is built on Solana’s blockchain. Do these beastly NFTs look familiar? Not by chance. The team was inspired by the success of the popular Pokemon Go game. This in combination with the Tamagotchi’s of the 90’s. Match made in heaven. Each Geopet is unique and is your own “ nft spirit animal encoded with your personality ”.
At the start you will receive a short questionnaire in which you can choose between 2 options. Based on these results you get a unique Genopet. It is not just a game but your NFT evolves with you. Based on in-game decisions change like you as your NFT. How does it work? Connect your app to Strava or Fitbit or other well-known tracking applications and get started. Join fitness challenges and earn free crypto .
This can be a number of steps per day, but also walking in a certain area near you. Your Genopet will also become stronger, more fun and more unique as you gain more points . In the future there may also be a connection with Apple Watch. In addition to these challenges, you can challenge other Genopets owners to a mini duel. The winner of this duel will again receive free crypto.
This game clearly combines the play-to-earn principle with that of the move-to-earn. One reinforces the other. If you do not participate in your daily fitness challenges, your Genopets will not develop and become stronger in the game. Consequence? You will have a harder time competing against other Genopets in the game. In this way, every user is motivated to be physically active as well.
Connection physical world and NFTs
Blockchain and crypto remains an abstraction for many. Complicated codes and blockchain layers? It is often difficult to understand something when we don’t see its applications. With the development of play-to-earn, the crypto world has welcomed many new users, especially gamers who see a new revenue model in these blockchain games. With the advent of move-to-earn, we hope that people are now massively motivated to move and work on their health . If money can’t motivate them, what can?
This also makes the boundary between the world of NFTs and the physical world very tangible. Where previously NFTs were useless digital pictures that sometimes trade for millions of dollars, these sneakers are now a valuable NFT with very clear utility in the physical world. This can also remove a barrier to the unknown world of crypto for novice investors. We are increasingly seeing interfaces between the physical world and the world of NFTs . The best of both worlds.
Conclusion
Video games often have a negative connotation. Young people who waste their days, are not very productive and above all have few ambitions. But to what extent is this image correct? With the advent and development of play-to-earn, this negative image has already changed. Gamers of blockchain games have one goal, which is to earn as much money as possible . And gamers from low-wage countries? They see their future change in days when they earn a monthly salary playing these games.
But more needs to be done. Global warming continues and more and more people are struggling with health problems and obesity. We now know that crypto and blockchain are the future, so why not join forces? Thanks to the integration of play-to-earn and the use of gamification, the development of move-to-earn is another important step in crypto adoption . Actively moving, working on your health and being richly rewarded for this. What a wonderful life!
