Fitmint - a web3 fitness app

Fitmint is a move-to-earn project that rewards people for putting in the work to make themselves the best they can be. When they exercise, users will earn rewards in $FITT tokens simply by exercising. They can walk, run, play sports, or lift weights – and Fitmint will reward them. No cryptocurrency or blockchain knowledge will be required to earn through Fitmint. It’s open to everyone. All users have to do is mint a pair of Fitmint’s NFT sneakers and they are ready to burn calories and earn money for doing so.

Fitmint will create a gaming and social ecosystem that helps users be accountable for their fitness goals, and be able to share their progress with like-minded people. It will combine Game-Fi and Social-Fi – the next evolution of DeFi – to bring a world class exercise platform that is fully integrated with Web 3.0. It will have built-in social features so that the users can band together to create exercise competitions. These will be fully customisable, giving groups and tournament organizers boundless ways to create their own unique tournaments. It’s a fun, involving, social way to keep the user on track for their exercise goals. To get involved with Fitmint, users will purchase their ‘OG Basics’ sneaker in the form of an NFT. Just as we need shoes everywhere we go, a user’s Fitmint sneakers will unlock everything in the app. The NFT sneakers will unlock daily passive income.

Each pair of sneakers will have their own stats. Users can level their NFTS over time and further unlock gameplay rewards. There will be five types of sneakers, ranging from basic to Athlete and all the way to Legend. Users can upgrade their sneakers, breed new sneakers, and unlock more gameplay through their efforts. This in turn creates a thriving secondary marketplace where users can sell their prized sneakers to new users who want to get involved in the fitness revolution.

As soon as the user has a pair of NFT sneakers, they can start earning $FITT. All types of exercise will make $FITT tokens pour into the user’s wallet. $FITT tokens are the oil that lubricates the entire engine of the exercise economy. $FITT can be used to level up sneakers, repair them, boost their attributes, and be wagered in exercise competitions with friends and strangers.

Fitmint has raised a total of $1.6M in funding. Viren Baid, Rohit Sharma and Anurag Meena are the founders of Fitmint.
