Your movement holds the power to reshape the world. In an era defined by sedentary lifestyles and digital overload, the global economy is silently bleeding. 1.8 billion people worldwide are inactive—28% of adults and a staggering 81% of adolescents—driving an economic misalignment that costs the U.S. alone annually in healthcare and lost productivity. Obesity, fueled by this inactivity, piles on an additional annual burden, from medical expenses to increased sick days and disability claims. This isn’t only a health crisis—it’s an untapped opportunity.
"Movement Is All You Need", the title of this whitepaper, encapsulates a groundbreaking vision: the Movement Economy. Since 2014, Sweatcoin has laid the groundwork through the invention of Move2Earn, proving that physical activity can generate economic value. Now, we’re elevating that vision with $SWEAT, the world’s first tokenized asset class for physical movement.
The Movement Economy is already worth trillions of dollars across sectors such as healthcare, insurance, productivity, fitness, sportswear, and wearables. Yet, despite its vast value across these sectors, no one has successfully captured its full potential until now, with $SWEAT transforming movement into real, tangible economic value for millions worldwide.
$SWEAT is the key to unlocking this immense value. Through the Sweat Wallet, $SWEAT does more than reward steps. It empowers millions to own their effort, transforming movement into a tangible asset. Your steps become capital, your energy a stake in a new economic frontier. Already embraced by 20 million users, $SWEAT is unlocking the Movement Economy’s vast potential—a value that, until now, has remained uncaptured across industries poised for transformation.
This is a radical new economic paradigm shift.
We’re not here to simply encourage better habits. We are here to redefine the value of movement, empower individuals as economic agents, and create an entirely new global asset class, powered by human effort. Just as the Attention Economy capitalized on scarce human resources and became a $7 trillion industry, the Movement Economy is emerging as the next great economic frontier, powered by your movement.
This is about more than fitness; it’s about building a healthier, wealthier future where your movement is your equity. Live on NEAR, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and BNB Chain with Bitcoin, Solana, and TON integration on the horizon—$SWEAT is the key to a paradigm shift that redefines how we live, work, and thrive. Join us in this bold journey. Discover how the Movement Economy, powered by $SWEAT, turns your next step into a world of possibility.
