A new fitness tracking application named StepMania has been released on the messaging app Telegram. The app aims to convert daily step counts into digital rewards for players, and it is planning to launch a future token on The Open Network (TON).
The application integrates with Apple Health and Google Health Connect, allowing users to earn in-game benefits through physical activity. The game features leaderboards, squad challenges, and tournaments hosted by influencers.
StepMania follows a similar approach to the move-to-earn pioneer Stepn, which is built on Solana. However, StepMania does not require users to purchase an NFT in order to earn token rewards.
At present, players can earn in-game coins and raffle tickets. The latter can be entered into a drawing for a chance to win real-world prizes, including an iPhone 16 Pro, PlayStation 5, Huawei wearable fitness tracker, Telegram Premium subscription, and more.
A representative for the game has confirmed that the developers have committed to launching a token in the future. Telegram apps with crypto integrations are obligated to launch on TON due to a recent exclusivity agreement.
StepMania is supported by The Open Platform (TOP), a prominent venture builder in the TON blockchain ecosystem. In the following months, the company plans to expand by partnering with TON-based projects, brands, events, and wearable companies to enhance the platform’s offerings.
