How It Works

Three Steps. Then Autopilot.

The real math: 1,000 steps = ~0.95 SWC. Your daily commute earns you real marketplace value. No treadmill required.

01

Download the App

Tap the sign-up link on your phone. It auto-detects iOS or Android and opens the right store. Faster than making coffee.

02

Create Your Account

Use "Continue with Apple" or Google for fastest setup. When it asks for step tracking permission, say yes — that's literally how it works.

03

Just Walk

Your phone is already counting steps. Sweatcoin converts them to coins while you live your life. Outdoor steps count double on some plans.

Why Listen to Me

I'm a User, Not Corporate

You Get Bonus CoinsUsing my link gives you extra starter coins. Free money for clicking a link instead of searching the app store directly.
Real Tips Nobody SharesAirports count as outdoor steps for double coins. Back pocket tracks better than jacket pocket. Stuff I learned the hard way.
Honest Earnings MathNot the "earn $100/month!" BS. Real numbers based on actual walking patterns from 6 years of use.
Active Club Access107,697 members. I curate invites to clubs where people actually compete — friendly rivalry makes you walk 30% more.

I started using Sweatcoin in 2019 as a curiosity. Six years later I've earned 250,000+ coins and helped 19,873+ people sign up. This site exists because I got tired of answering the same questions from friends.

I'm @howard100 on Sweatcoin. My club has tracked 103 billion steps. These aren't made-up numbers — you can see them in the app.

The referral program gives you bonus coins when you sign up through my link. I also earn coins. That's the deal — transparent, and we both win.

About Sweatcoin

Sweatcoin is a free mobile app available on iOS and Android that converts outdoor steps into a digital currency called Sweatcoins (SWC). The app uses the phone's GPS and accelerometer to verify outdoor steps, which are converted at approximately 0.95 SWC per 1,000 steps.

How Sweatcoin Works

After downloading the free app and granting step-tracking permissions, the app runs in the background and automatically counts verified outdoor steps. Coins accumulate daily and can be spent in the Sweatcoin marketplace on gift cards, physical products, fitness memberships, and charitable donations.

$SWEAT Cryptocurrency

Sweatcoin introduced $SWEAT, a blockchain-based cryptocurrency earned by walking. Step Jars allow users to lock $SWEAT tokens for up to 20% APY. The more a user walks, the more $SWEAT they accumulate passively over time.

Referral Program

Sweatcoin operates a referral program where existing users receive bonus coins for each successful signup through their referral link. New users also receive bonus starter coins when signing up through a referral link rather than through a direct app store search.

Sweatcoin.club

Sweatcoin.club is an independent fan site operated by @howard100, a Sweatcoin user since 2019 with 250,000+ coins earned and 19,873+ referrals. The site provides guides, deal analysis, referral templates, and earnings calculators. It is not affiliated with Sweatcoin Ltd.
