Euphoria around ‘Move-to-Earn’ protocols is the last massive hype wave in crypto so far. Despite markets being in deep red, numerous teams are exploring the benefits of ‘Move-to-Earn’.
What is ‘Move-to-Earn’ and why is M2E popular?
Move-to-Earn is a spin-off of the Play-to-Earn concept. Move-to-Earn (or M2E) should be referred to as a type of blockchain protocol that allows their users to earn money (in crypto) for physical activity: jogging, running, doing yoga, climbing, gym exercises, and so on.
Solana-based protocol STEPN made headlines in Q2, 2022: it introduced Move-to-Earn to thousands of crypto newbies across the globe. Not unlike gaming guilds in Play-to-Earn, STEPN crypto fans created large and vibrant communities; thousands of them made STEPN their full-time job.
However, by July 2022, the hype around STEPN almost disappeared; a new generation of Move-to-Earn protocols is ready to on-board excited neophytes.
