1. Introduction

Walkers is a Cardano-based NFT project that seamlessly combines GameFi elements . Its innovative “move to earn” model uniquely rewards holders based on the distance they walked. By engaging with the Walkers app, users not only contribute to their own well-being but also immerse themselves in a GameFi experience. Holders of WalkersCNFT are empowered to accumulate XP, earning valuable points that can be exchanged for $WLK tokens and additional partner tokens or coins. Notably, Walkers has been a part of the Cardano ecosystem since its inception on August 28, 2022, and is entirely self-funded.

Walkers is an innovative amalgamation of diverse elements, seamlessly blending artistry, a commitment to a healthy lifestyle, and an engaging GameFi experience.

3. Walkers Now

Walkers proudly unveiled the MVP version of its app on August 28, 2023.
Getting Started and Earning with the App

Android users can access the app through the following link: Walkers on Google Play, while iOS users can find it on the App Store here.

The Walkers MVP app is currently in a testing phase, exclusively available for WalkPass holders. Actively seeking feedback from these users, we continuously refine and develop the app based on their valuable suggestions.
This iterative process results in regular updates, with the latest version, V.1.6, that will be released on November 20. Comprehensive details about these updates can be found on the Walkers website: https://walkerscardano.xyz/ .
Notably, this version introduces the integration of the DexHunter swap option for all Walker holders, enhancing the overall user experience.

Additionally, on November 21, the Walkers app will open the minting of electricity generators.
This milestone marks the commencement of usage for holders of partnership projects, further expanding the utility and reach of the Walkers ecosystem.

4. Tokenomics Iteration

In crafting the tokenomics and shaping the entire in-app economic framework, we have worked with Noma Tokenomics.
Collaborating closely, Noma Tokenomics has meticulously crafted a comprehensive document for the audit of Walkers’ tokenomics. This audit encompasses:

  • Competitor analysis
  • Review the token flow
  • Supply and demand sensitivity analysis
  • Identify monetary policy levers
  • Token distribution & allocation
  • Token utility analysis
  • Stress test & recommendations report

Stepn Analyses

  • You only earn when you have an NFT (digital sneakers) and move outdoors with GPS

With Stepn, we saw the dangers of over inflation when price of the token is driven by demand from addition of new users.

Create sustainable levers to maintain it stable so that buyers do not expect only return and look for net positive sinks (in addition to negative sinks).

  • Stepn relied on new users to enter the economy and purchase NFT using the tokens, thus creating demand for the tokens. When demand from new users dipped, the existing users were still earning tokens and supplying tokens to the market, which crashed the price of the token.
  • Axie Infinity on the other hand is a good example of unintended consequences. The high barrier to entry (which rose as high as $350) at a point led to the creation of guilds with rent seeking behaviour. NFT owners earned tokens from their ‘investments’ without actively participating in the economy and sold their tokens on the market. The supply outstripped the demand, which led to a crash in the price.

During the $WLK presale, 10% of the token supply will be offered for purchase using partner tokens/coins, thereby establishing initial pools within the reward wallet to fortify the Walkers ecosystem.

The expansion of the Walkers user base relies significantly on the active involvement of partnership project holders. By engaging in the Walkers economy, they contribute to sustainable growth, mitigating the risks associated with over inflation.

Each partnership project holder has the opportunity to mint an ELECTRICITY GENERATOR at an exceptionally affordable price of 10 ADA plus 25 ADA (in partner tokens/coins). This participation directly contributes to the Walkers reward pool, which is distributed concurrently with the distribution of Walkers tokens when users reach level 5. The percentage distribution of partner tokens/coins aligns with that of $WLK, contingent on the points earned in the app.

Every user of the Walkers app stands to earn rewards in the form of ($WLK + partner tokens/coins) based on the points accrued within the app. The strategic utilization of $WLK across various aspects of the Walkers ecosystem creates negative sinks, ultimately feeding back into the reward wallet.

The Walkers app provides users with diverse avenues to gain XP, extending beyond walking alone. As users progress through levels, they accumulate points, fostering a dual eco-system economy. At each level, users can exchange earned points for alternative rewards or swap for a combination of $WLK and partner tokens/coins.

The $WLK token serves a versatile role, allowing users to stake for additional $WLK rewards or partake in the various utilities embedded within the expansive Walkers ecosystem. This multifaceted approach ensures a dynamic and engaging experience for users within the Walkers community.
