Players’ avatars are called CAThletes. Every thousand steps are converted to one GEM, its in-game token used to upgrade the player’s avatar attributes: speed, strength, and stamina. CATheletes can also compete with other players and earn WLKN token, the games governance token.

Walken Tokenomics

Walken has two tokens: GEM, an in-game token, and WLKN, its governance token. 

GEMs are accumulated based on the number of steps a user makes. With 1000 steps, a user can be rewarded with 1 GEM. Players with 2 or more CAThletes has increased Gem rewards on its multiplier. 

GEMs and WLKNs are used to level up CATheletes. Free CATHeletes become an NFT when they become level 6.

WLKNs, on the other hand, are earned by competing in Battles. WLKNs is the main currency in purchasing and selling CATheles in the in-app marketplace. The higher the level a CAThlete has, the greater WLKN the user earns.

Players can stake WLKNs and vote for major decisions of the project in the future.

Solana (SOL) is the currency used to purchase and sell hats, t-shirts, shorts, sneakers, and artifacts in the in-app marketplace. These items add to the attributes of the CATheles: Strength, Stamina and Speed.

How to play Walken in the Philippines?

There are two game modes in Walken: the earning of GEMs as the user walks and Competitions.

The player earns Gems based on the number of steps they make. Walken has a built-in algorithm to prevent players from cheating the game. For every 1000 steps, the player earns 1 GEM.

The success of the CAThlete relies on its three attributes:

  • Strength: The ability to overcome a certain resistance with the help of muscular efforts. Higher values of strength are crucial for Urban running, with many obstacles that can prevent a CAThlete from being the first to reach the finish line.
  • Stamina: This allows a CAThlete to resist fatigue during long runs. So, stamina is most vital for a marathon, a long race and a tough challenge for a CAThlete.
  • Speed: This indicates how fast a CAThlete covers the distance per unit of time. Speed is a key characteristic for sprint, that is running as fast as possible for very short distances.

Players can also breed two CAThletes to produce the ideal attributes for their offspring. A CAThlete has a limit of three breeding capability.

Walken: What is Energy?

Each CAThlete has three energies. The use of the energy is for the user to earn WLKNs and for every battle, 1 energy is consumed. The level of the NFT determines the cooldown of when the energies will be replenished.
