Step App revealed today the agenda for its Step App Tokyo Conference, featuring celebrities, leading thinkers, builders and founders from across the blockchain landscape to commemorate the app’s transition from public beta to main app launch. Step App Conference will be hosted at Raise in Ginza, Tokyo on Dec. 1, 2022. Step App’s mission is to grow and empower the ecosystem around its flagship app — an amalgamation of fitness and finance. The platform transforms everyday exercise activities like walking the dog or a daily jog around the park into social activities or competitions with friends and strangers that encourage consumers to earn tokens as they exercise. The platform has a move-to-earn gamification, which follows a player-vs-player match-making model, allowing users to combine their fitness with social experiences at a local, regional or global level.

Step App wants to be a potential partner to mainstream novice crypto brands and corporations seeking to branch into the value potential of the crypto user base. The features include augmented reality, where users’ Metaverse characters grow and evolve as they fulfill fitness quests. The app is easy to use and for all kinds of fitness levels. Players can start to earn from day one.

A power-packed conference program

Step App Conference’s programming will highlight top founders and investors from both within and beyond the Step network. Registrants will have an opportunity to discuss with blockchain leaders and other interesting figures and attendees in the Web3 space and learn how to set up Step and onboard themselves within the move-to-earn ecosystem. They can also meet and greet famous guests such as eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt and Japanese baseball legend  Kazuto Taguchi, while enjoying live performances from AK-69, Fehrplay and more. Attendees and the Step community will also have the opportunity to connect with the Step Team, receive exclusive merchandise and attend the afterparty.

Interested participants can attend the event through one of the three packages: Fan, Believer and Pioneer, ranging from $50 to $250 in price. The Pioneer package is the biggest offering and includes a meet-and-greet with Usain Bolt. Believer and Pioneer ticket holders have a chance at winning five exclusive Step NFTs. Every attendee will get exclusive Step App merchandise.

Hear from leaders around the world about how blockchain technology that empowers cryptocurrencies can relate to the fitness sector. These days, blockchain technology has penetrated every industry, and the health and fitness sector is no exception.

Kirill Volgin, CEO of Step App, said:

“We are looking forward to bringing the Step App community together, in person and in Tokyo this December. We invite all who are interested in the move-to-earn movement to join us as we revolutionize the potential of blockchain technology and motivate society to adopt a healthy lifestyle. The launch of Step App is just the beginning of what’s to come within the Step ecosystem. We are excited to continue bringing innovative product offerings to our community worldwide and change how people view integrating exercise into their daily lives.”

The highly anticipated beta launch gave more than 20 million pre-signed users access to exercise, socialize, play and earn through the platform’s advanced tech, and introduced the brand’s Sneaks — digital footwear that users can buy, trade and wear digitally on the platform. Now fully available to the public and accessible on both Android and iPhone, consumers can earn KCAL tokens with each step and unlock economic opportunities in developing markets worldwide.

Built on Avalanche, Step App’s rapid, low-cost blockchain is rich with composable intellectual property as well as ready-to-deploy SDKs for smart contract solutions, NFT infrastructure and more. Step App is the stepping-stone and core potential partner to mainstream, crypto novice brands and corporations seeking to branch into the value potential of the trillion-dollar crypto-fitness crossover audience. The app encourages users to lead a healthy lifestyle and rewards them for doing so by monitoring the user’s geographic location and rewarding them in proportion to the number of physical activities they perform.

The full agenda and speaker lineup is up on the site.
