Quick answers to the questions we hear most. For deeper detail, follow the links into the relevant section.
Getting started
Do I need crypto experience?
No. Download the app, connect or create a Coinbase Wallet, grab a sneaker and start moving. Base's low fees mean you never worry about expensive gas. See Quick Start.
Which devices are supported?
Native iOS and Android apps with HealthKit and Google Fit integration, plus an installable web app (PWA). Apple Watch and Wear OS sync are supported.
Is there a free way to start?
Yes — a free starter sneaker is available during onboarding so you can try the loop before buying or minting anything.
Earning
How do rewards actually work?
Each activity consumes your sneaker's energy and is verified by GPS and sensors. Your reward is calculated from energy spent and sneaker attributes, paid roughly 70% USDC and 30% BFIT. Full details in Rewards & Energy.
Why is this more sustainable than past M2E apps?
Rewards are funded primarily by real platform revenue and paid in stable USDC, instead of relying on infinite token printing. Burn mechanics and capped per-sneaker earnings keep the economy healthy.
What happens when I run out of energy?
Earning pauses, but your movement still counts toward stats, streaks and quests. Energy refills over time and grows as you upgrade sneakers.
Security & fair play
How do you stop cheating?
A six-layer system: GPS validation, sensor-fusion gait detection, AI photo verification, random peer review, session cooldowns and one-account-per-device binding. See Anti-Cheat.
Are the smart contracts audited?
Contracts are slated for independent audits before launch, with a bug bounty program. Only ever interact with official contract addresses published by the team.
