Moonwalk is a platform that gamifies fitness activities and promotes a healthy lifestyle through Web3 technology. Users set daily exercise goals and earn on-chain token rewards for achieving them. This provides a new form of fitness motivation in today's sedentary society.

In the modern digital age, while technological advancements bring convenience, they also promote a sedentary lifestyle, leading to an increase in obesity rates. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), global obesity has nearly tripled since 1975, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported an obesity rate of 42.4% in 2017-2018. This increasing trend is primarily due to increased screen time and lack of exercise, increasing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and mental health problems.

To address this crisis, recent studies have shown that financial rewards are effective in promoting health. A study from the University of Western Ontario confirmed that providing financial incentives through a step-counting app increased activity levels and sustained habits. Moonwalk aims to promote this kind of financial self-responsibility and provide a platform for users to voluntarily engage in fitness.

Moonwalk employs a novel approach to encourage users to exercise by leveraging financial rewards. Users create crews (teams), set daily step goals, and wager cryptocurrency (USDC, SOL, or BONK).

If the goal is achieved, they keep their deposit; if they fail, a portion is distributed to other successful crew members. This mechanism creates a greater sense of responsibility and community connection, providing strong motivation for users to achieve their fitness goals.

Participation in Moonwalk is through crew member invitations. The crew leader sets the game duration, goals, and stakes, and the entire crew works together to achieve those goals. Individual participation is also possible, allowing users to pursue their goals with self-responsibility. First-time users can quickly join the platform by connecting their Solana wallet and selecting a step provider such as Google Fit or Apple Health.

Moonwalk's vision is to make exercise a part of daily life and to make healthy habits fun and sustainable through technological advancements. By gamifying personal fitness goals, it aims to improve not only self-improvement but also the health awareness of the entire community. Furthermore, through Web3 technology, it provides data transparency and security, creating an environment where users can confidently use the platform.
