Potentials of Move to Earn Projects with Artificial Intelligence (AI) Techniques for Improving Our Quality of Life: A survey Research of "STEPN"

Abstract

Move to Earn (MtoE) initiatives emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. STEPN, the leading MtoE walking applications (app.) using various artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, allows users to earn rewards by walking, jogging, or running with their mobile devices while wearing Non-Fungible Token (NFT) shoes. Although MtoE games have huge potentials to improve our quality of life (QOL), there is no scientific papers to point out the possibilities. This work describes present situation of MtoE and importance of AI to establish MtoE projects, and proposes several potential applications of MtoE, including as an aid to support athletes, international students, and bedridden individuals. This is the primitive survey research of MtoE projects as a trigger to start scientific discussions.
