Fitness tracking application StepMania has recently launched on Telegram and is gaining attention for its integration of physical activity with blockchain technology.
Players can track their steps through integration with Apple Health and Google Health Connect, and earn in-game rewards such as coins and raffle tickets for real-world prizes.
Whilst similar to move-to-earn games like Stepn, StepMania distinguishes itself by eliminating the need for users to purchase NFTs in order to participate.
