Stay Fit, Earn Gems: Discovering Walken (WALKN) and its Potential

Can you picture yourself making money just by walking? I know it's too good to be true. However, the truth is that it is truly possible! And to think that we currently live in a world where this kind of stuff exists is just so incredible. To earn money simply by walking? Really?

Walken is a play-and-exercise in-app game, and the game's characters are NFTs, thus players not only can earn tokens but can also create NFTs that can be purchased and sold in NFT marketplaces. Well, of course, this amazing idea became possible entirely because of DeFi.

Its native token, WALKN is used for operating in the Walken NFT game and it can be bought on a crypto exchange or earned by using Walken

• Walken’s first-anniversary celebration 

Walken pulled out all the stops to celebrate its first-year anniversary. Not only did they launch the highly anticipated NFT Lootbox Lottery, but they also brought back Walken Runner, making it bigger and better than ever before. But that's not all! The team went the extra mile by updating their roadmap, giving us a glimpse of what the near future holds for Walken. And to top it all off, they included the PvP mode, a logical development that appeals to Walken's competitive nature.

• Recent Listings

Coinstore and KuCoin are two of the crypto exchanges that listed WALKN on their platform. This listing represents a significant achievement for Walken as it gives investors and enthusiasts more options to buy and sell the token on well-known exchanges.

To celebrate, KuCoin even initiated a campaign yesterday that will run until May 22, 2023, at 10:00 (UTC) to reward qualified KuCoin users with a WALKN prize pool totaling $30,000.

The KuCoin event for Walken is an interesting one, I would say. It provides users with three fun events to take part in, each with a distinct reward fund. It offers users three exciting activities to take part in, each with its own dedicated prize pool. When you add it all up, an impressive total of $30,000 is up for grabs.

Author’s Note

Overall, I believe that the real advantage of the Walken platform lies in its direct interaction with DeFi platforms, which motivates new cryptocurrency owners to start maximizing the value of the tokens they earn by leading healthier lives.

I also agree when they say that their unique advantage is their ability to rapidly acquire new users for the app because of their years of experience building an in-house marketing team and technology platform so I'm hoping that they stick with the approach of popular motivating apps like Strava and Apple Activity by offering users rewards for leading healthier lifestyles.
