How much $SWEAT can I earn a day?

💡 Update : In July 2024, the community voted to change the minting window mechanism. Before 2024, users could earn $SWEAT for every step up to 10,000 per day according to the minting curve. After July 2024, users earn $SWEAT for steps from 3,000-10,000, according to the minting curve. $SWEAT is minted, or earned, from your steps. When you walk, your steps are validated via the Sweatcoin app, and you mint steps according to the plan you are on. Users on the Free Plan earn $SWEAT for every step they take between 3,000 and 10,000 a day. Users will also earn sweatcoins from steps 0-10,000 a day. Users on the Sweatcoin Premium Plan earn $SWEAT for every step from 0 to 20,000 per day — there is no 3,000-step warm-up on Premium. Users will also earn sweatcoins from steps 0-20,000 a day. SWEAT MAX subscribers (Sweat Wallet's premium subscription — separate from Sweatcoin Premium) also convert steps from 0 to 20,000 per day with no warm-up, roughly doubling what the free tier can earn. SWEAT MAX is live and available in all countries. With both subscriptions active (SWEAT MAX + Sweatcoin Premium), steps from 0 up to 30,000 per day convert to $SWEAT. You can also earn $SWEAT by completing short lessons, using the Spin the Wheel feature, and winning rewards. Why can I only earn $SWEAT after 3,000 steps a day? We’re on a mission to make the world more physically active. To that end, we held a community vote in 2024 where more than 70% of voters chose to change the Minting Window (from 0-5K steps a day to 3K-10K steps a day).

TGE (Token Generation Event) – what it was and what happened to the tokens

What was the TGE? The Token Generation Event (TGE) marked the official launch of $SWEAT on September 12th, 2022. At that moment, the Foundation took a snapshot of users' sweatcoin balances and allocated $SWEAT at a 1:1 ratio — one $SWEAT for every sweatcoin held by users who had opted into crypto. Over 5 billion $SWEAT tokens were distributed to more than 13 million users. Sweatcoin balances were not affected. These tokens were locked in a smart contract and set to unlock gradually over 24 months, with the final unlock on September 12th, 2024. What happened to unclaimed TGE tokens? The community voted to burn all unclaimed TGE tokens. Following the vote, approximately 1.5 billion unclaimed $SWEAT were permanently burned and the TGE lockup smart contract was destroyed — making any further claims impossible. Can I still claim my TGE tokens? No. The deadline has passed and the smart contract no longer exists. Unclaimed tokens were burned as per the community's decision. How did the burn affect my balance? If you claimed your TGE allocation in time, your balance is unaffected. If you did not claim before the deadline, those tokens were burned and are no longer recoverable. Why was this done? Burning unclaimed tokens reduces the circulating supply, helping to maintain $SWEAT's value and ensuring that only active, engaged users hold the token. What if I missed the deadline? Multiple notifications were sent ahead of the deadline, and a 30-day grace period was provided. Unfortunately, tokens that were not claimed during that period cannot be recovered.

Why Has My $SWEAT Minting Been Paused?

If your $SWEAT minting has stopped, there are four possible reasons. The first two are about inactivity; the other two are not, and they need different handling. 1. You haven't opened the Sweat Wallet app for 60 days or more Minting is paused until you log back in. Open Sweat Wallet and minting resumes right away. 2. You haven't opened the Sweatcoin app in the last 30 days The Sweatcoin app validates your steps, so it must be opened at least once every 30 days to keep minting active. Open it and minting resumes right away. 3. A security check on your steps is holding your earnings If you are using both apps every day and minting has still stopped, an anti-fraud check on your steps can hold your earnings back pending a review by the team. This is not something you can clear from the app. Contact support with your username, the email address linked to your account, the dates your minting stopped, and the exact text of any message you saw — that is what the review needs. 4. Your wallet is no longer connected to Sweatcoin ("near_disabled") If you or the app see the state near_disabled, this is not a security pause. It means your wallet is not connected — or no longer opted in to crypto — on the Sweatcoin side, so there is nothing validating your steps into $SWEAT. Opening both apps does not fix this one. Go through the connection steps in How does $SWEAT connect to Sweatcoin? to re-connect the wallet to your Sweatcoin account. What happens to my existing $SWEAT? It stays safe in every case above. Your existing $SWEAT is not affected by a pause, and minting picks up again once the cause is cleared. Keeping minting active Open Sweat Wallet at least once every 60 days and the Sweatcoin app at least once every 30 days.

How does $SWEAT connect to Sweatcoin?

Important (1 October 2026): Sweat Wallet and SWEAT as they exist today end on 30 December 2026. Sweatcoin is a separate app operated by Sweatco Ltd and is not affected — you keep earning sweatcoins there as before, and you keep earning $SWEAT from your steps until 30 December 2026. Everything you need to do, with screenshots, is at update.swe.at. Sweatcoin is a centralized app for people who cannot access, or do not want to access, crypto. The Sweatcoin app validates your steps, which can be converted into sweatcoins (akin to “Air Miles”). You can exchange sweatcoins for goods and services in the Sweatcoin marketplace. Alternatively, you can choose to donate them to a range of charities. Sweat Wallet is a non-custodial crypto wallet application that allows users to manage their Sweat tokens, as well as other assets in the future. $SWEAT is a new, decentralized crypto asset created to unlock the value of your movement. Connecting your wallet to Sweatcoin Your wallet only mints $SWEAT once it is connected to your Sweatcoin account. Connect it from the Earn component on the Sweat Wallet home screen, then confirm the connection dialog in the Sweatcoin app. "Connect to Sweatcoin" does nothing on a brand-new wallet If you have just created the wallet and the connect step silently does nothing, the wallet's registration on the network can still be catching up — this can take a day or more. Retry later instead of creating another wallet; making more wallets does not speed it up. If it still fails after 48 hours, contact support.

How do I delete my Sweat Wallet account and my data?

You can delete your account in the app: Profile → Delete account. The option is at the bottom of the Profile screen, below Log out. It needs app version 175.0 or later — if you don't see it, update the app. (Sweat Wallet and SWEAT as they exist today end on 30 December 2026 — see update.swe.at.) Before you delete - Back up your private key or seed phrase, or move your assets out. Deletion removes the off-chain personal data associated with your NEAR account (such as your Apple or Google ID, email and app sessions) and performs no on-chain action: your account and its keys stay on the blockchain untouched. After deletion, Apple or Google no longer opens your wallet in Sweat Wallet — only a saved secret phrase does. Your exported private key or secret phrase also still opens the account in other NEAR wallets. Back up in Profile → Security. - Cancel SWEAT MAX if you have it. Deleting the account does not cancel the subscription: billing continues through Apple or Google until you cancel it in the App Store or Google Play. How it works 1. Open Profile and tap Delete account. 2. Read what deletion means for your wallet. If your wallet has no secret phrase, the screen shows the funds that would become unreachable. Tick I understand that funds on this address will be lost to continue, or tap Create a secret phrase first. 3. Swipe to confirm. 4. Confirm it is you: sign in again with Apple or Google, or, if you log in with a secret phrase, unlock with your phone's Face ID, fingerprint or passcode (if your phone has a screen lock). 5. Your account is deleted right away. Occasionally the app shows Deletion requested instead; the deletion then completes within 24 hours. What deletion does not do - The blockchain address itself cannot be erased. A wallet is an anonymous public address on the NEAR blockchain — the public ledger is immutable by design. What deletion removes is your app access and the personal data linked to your account; the address itself holds no personal information. - Your Sweatcoin account is not affected (see below). - We keep a hashed copy of your email to prevent abuse. - Simply uninstalling the app does not delete anything — your wallet stays on-chain and your tokens remain safe as long as you keep your login (activation email / seed phrase). Can't open the app or log in? Contact support with the email address linked to your account and your Sweatcoin username, and ask for account and data deletion. Both details are needed to identify the account. Formal right-to-erasure requests (GDPR / CCPA) can also be sent this way; a person handles each one, and you will be told once the deletion is complete. Deleting your data on the Sweatcoin side Your Sweatcoin account is separate, and you can delete it yourself in the Sweatcoin app: Profile → Settings → Help → Account → Delete Account.

How do I report a scam, and what are Sweat's official channels?

Scammers impersonating "Sweat support" are common on Telegram and other social platforms. The rules that protect you: - Sweat support will never message you first on Telegram, X, Discord, or any social platform. - We will never ask for your seed phrase, private keys, backup email link, or login codes. Anyone who does is a scammer — no exceptions. - We will never ask you to send funds to a "verification", "unlock", or "synchronization" address. - There is no "wallet recovery service" that can restore a lost wallet for a fee — Sweat Wallet is non-custodial and nobody can do this. Recovery-for-payment offers are always scams. - Since the announcement of 1 October 2026 (Sweat Wallet and SWEAT as they exist today end on 30 December 2026), anyone offering to "recover" your $SWEAT, to "migrate" your account, or asking for your key is not us. Everything you need to do is at update.swe.at, and nowhere else. Official Sweat channels Our only official websites are swe.at, sweateconomy.com and whitepaper.swe.at; our support address is support@swe.at. The official communities are on X (Twitter), Discord, Reddit, and Telegram — always reach them via the links inside the Sweat Wallet / Sweatcoin apps or the official website, not via search or DMs. Support happens in-app (chat with support / MIA) or at support@swe.at, never through private messages on social media. Found an impersonator? Report the account through the platform's own report function, and tell us in-app support with the account handle and a screenshot — the team escalates takedowns. If you already shared your seed phrase or backup link with a scammer: treat the wallet as compromised and immediately move your funds to a new wallet.

What is Multichain ("1 1 1") in Sweat Wallet?

Sweat Wallet's multichain experience is as simple as "1 1 1": - 1 Wallet — manage assets on any supported chain without creating separate accounts, saving separate keys, or funding each chain with its own gas token. - 1 Key — the one key you use with Sweat Wallet (social login / Magic Key, upgradable to a seed phrase) manages your accounts on every chain, via NEAR Chain Signatures and an MPC network. - 1 Token — $SWEAT pays gas on every supported chain. You never need to buy ETH, BNB, or any other gas token — you can literally pay your fees with your feet. The $SWEAT that pays the fee is always taken from your NEAR-side balance; see Paying for transactions on other chains below. Supported chains: NEAR, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and Binance Smart Chain (BSC). More chains are planned. Do I need to activate anything? No — multichain works out of the box. You get a unified view of all your assets across all chains on one screen, and you can send, bridge, swap, buy, and receive any supported token. (Older app versions had a one-tap "Activate Multichain" step; it has been removed — no activation is needed anymore.) Paying for transactions on other chains - The fee for a transaction on any chain is paid in $SWEAT drawn from your NEAR-side balance, and it has to be liquid $SWEAT — $SWEAT locked in a Grow Jar cannot pay it. Holding ETH or BNB in your wallet does not help; the app does not use them for fees. - "Not enough to cover transaction" means exactly that: not enough $SWEAT on the NEAR side. It does not mean you are missing a gas token for the destination chain. - SWEAT MAX free transactions cover NEAR-network transactions only. Transactions on other chains are charged normally. - Bringing $SWEAT back from Base or Ethereum to NEAR costs a fee that can exceed 10 $SWEAT, and that fee does not depend on how much you move — bridging a small amount back can cost more than the amount itself. Keep enough liquid $SWEAT on NEAR before you start. A bridge that looks stuck or "successful" but changed nothing A bridge attempt can show a success or pending state without having executed. Do not retry it blindly — if the first one is simply delayed, a retry can send twice. Instead: 1. Force-refresh your balance in the app. 2. Check the transaction in your in-app history. 3. Only consider retrying once you have confirmed the source balance is unchanged after the refresh — and if you are unsure, contact support with the transaction hash. dApps With WalletConnect you can connect Sweat Wallet to dApps on any supported chain and confirm transactions in the wallet.

Sweat Wallet and SWEAT end on 30 December 2026 — frequently asked questions

Sweat Wallet and SWEAT as they exist today end on 30 December 2026. The app works until then and you keep earning. Everything you need to do, with screenshots, is at update.swe.at. The five steps are in the article Sweat Wallet and SWEAT as they exist today end on 30 December 2026 — what to do now. The announcement What exactly is ending on 30 December 2026? Sweat Wallet and the SWEAT token as they exist today: the app, the minting of SWEAT for verified movement, and the services around them (jars, offers, raffles, quests, the DAO, fee payment with SWEAT). The token itself continues to exist on NEAR and on the EVM chains where it is bridged. Why is this happening? The economics of the current model have not held. A prolonged downturn in crypto markets, the loss of exchange listings for SWEAT, the cost of responding to the security incident of April 2026 (after which all user balances were restored) and slowing growth in new users put sustained pressure on the Foundation's revenue and treasury. The team worked to reach sustainable profitability and came close, but did not get there. The board decided to end the current model in an orderly way, with a full 90 days' notice, rather than let it run on until it could no longer meet its obligations. Does the app keep working until 30 December? Yes. Until 30 December 2026 the app, the token and the smart contracts run as they do today, and you keep earning SWEAT for your movement. What happens after 30 December 2026? The app and the services around it end in their present form. The Foundation will publish at update.swe.at, in the first week of December 2026, the changes and dates that apply from January 2027. Nothing is promised for after 30 December beyond the continued existence of the token contract on-chain. Will there be a new version of Sweat Wallet or SWEAT? The Foundation is examining whether the app and the token can continue in a new form and will publish its conclusion in the first week of December 2026. No new form is promised. Your account and your private key Why do I need to back up my private key? Every Sweat Wallet account is a NEAR account. The private key is what controls it. If you have the key saved outside the app, you control your account and everything in it from any NEAR wallet, even after Sweat Wallet is gone. If you do not, you may lose access to your account and assets when the app ends. How do I back up my private key? In the app: Profile → Security → View private key → Copy private key. Save it in a password manager or another secure place, together with your NEAR account ID. View private key asks you to type your secret phrase and shows the key derived from it, so the secret phrase itself is also a complete backup. If you do not see View private key, your wallet has no secret phrase yet: tap Add secret phrase first (small gas fee; write the phrase down), and the option then appears. If the app asks for a secret phrase you never created, you cannot export yet: keep your Apple or Google login, do not reset or delete the wallet, and wait — the backup is being made easier to find no later than 15 October 2026. Never share the key or the phrase with anyone, including us. Do not remove any magic keys (Apple/Google sign-in) or the secret phrase login methods — that can make the backed-up private key unusable. Does backing up the key change anything in the app? No. The key stays in the app and the app keeps working. Backing up means you also hold a copy. Which wallets can I use with my key? Any NEAR wallet that supports importing a private key, for example Meteor Wallet or HOT Wallet. Import the key and your account, with all its balances, appears there. What is a seed phrase and should I create one? It is optional and it is the best protection: you create a seed phrase for your account and use it to import the account into any NEAR wallet. In Sweat Wallet you add it under Profile → Security → Add secret phrase (small gas fee); write it down and never share it. Do not remove any keys from your account. I lost my phone or deleted the app. Can I recover my account? Only with your private key or seed phrase (or, while the app runs, with a login method you linked earlier — see Logging in to Sweat Wallet on a new phone). The Foundation cannot recover an account without them. Claiming SWEAT How do I claim my earned SWEAT? In the app, open your balance and claim. Claimed SWEAT sits in your NEAR account. Do I keep earning SWEAT for my steps until 30 December? Yes. What happens to SWEAT I have not claimed by 30 December? Unclaimed SWEAT from Grow Jars will be transferred to the owner's NEAR account at some point after 30 December. The usual 30-day claim window for SWEAT earned from steps still applies, so claim your earnings promptly. Grow Jars What happens to my jars? Jars keep working and earning until 30 December 2026. Since 12 October there is no minimum term, so you can withdraw principal and yield at any time: in Grow, tap Empty All. Keep a few liquid $SWEAT for the network fee. I have a jar whose term ends after 30 December. Do I lose the yield? No. Since 12 October the minimum term is removed, and you can withdraw principal and the yield earned to that point at any time — both arrive together when you empty the jar. Until when can I empty my jars? Until 14:00 UTC on 30 December 2026. From that moment jars earn nothing more, and emptying, claiming, Regrow and new deposits are no longer possible. What if I leave a balance in a jar after 30 December? It will be transferred to your NEAR account at some point after the window ends. Balances on other chains (Ethereum, Base, BSC, Arbitrum) What do I do with balances on other chains held in the app? Move them to another wallet you control, swap them into NEAR-based tokens, or bridge them to your NEAR account (if supported), while the app is running. What if I do not move them before the app ends? A technical route for managing those balances after the app ends, using your NEAR private key, will be published at update.swe.at before 30 December 2026. It depends on third-party infrastructure that the Foundation does not control, so moving your balances during the window is the safe choice. SWEAT MAX subscriptions What happens with my SWEAT MAX subscription? Your subscription runs without changes until 30 December 2026. If your paid period runs past that date, you can request a refund for the unused period through the standard Apple App Store or Google Play refund process. Will I be charged again? Annual subscriptions are no longer on sale. Monthly (and, where offered, weekly) subscriptions remain available for now and are withdrawn from sale before the end of the window. Renewals stop where the store allows. You can cancel at any time in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Deleting your account Can I delete my account? Yes, in the app: Profile → Delete account (app version 175.0 or later; update the app if you don't see it). Deletion removes the off-chain personal data associated with your NEAR account (such as your Apple or Google ID, email and app sessions) and performs no on-chain action: your account and its keys stay on the blockchain untouched. After deletion, Apple or Google no longer opens your wallet in Sweat Wallet — so delete only if you are confident that you have exported the private key or the seed phrase, or transferred all assets to another account you control. Deletion does not cancel SWEAT MAX: cancel it in the App Store or Google Play first. Steps and details: How do I delete my Sweat Wallet account and my data? Sweatcoin How does this affect my Sweatcoin experience? Sweatcoin is a separate app operated by Sweatco Ltd, and these changes do not affect your earning of sweatcoins or your participation in Sweatcoin app activities. During the 90-day window nothing changes for you: you keep earning SWEAT from your movement as you do today, and Sweat Wallet keeps working until 30 December 2026. For anything about the Sweatcoin app itself, please follow Sweatcoin's own channels. SWEAT on exchanges and in other wallets I hold SWEAT on an exchange or in another wallet. Do I need to do anything? No. The SWEAT token contracts on NEAR and on the EVM chains where it is bridged continue to operate, and nothing changes to them before 30 December 2026. Whether you keep, move or sell your SWEAT is your decision. The Foundation has provided liquidity to the SWEAT/wNEAR pool on rhea.finance; where and whether to convert SWEAT is each holder's own decision. Will SWEAT be delisted from exchanges? Listing decisions are made by each platform, not by the Foundation. Liquidity may fall. What happens to the token contract after 30 December? The Foundation has not decided and will publish its decision in the first week of December 2026. Nothing changes to the token contract before 30 December 2026. Lockup and grant holders I have SWEAT in a lockup or grant contract. What happens to it? The lockup and grant contracts continue on their existing schedules. Vested tokens can be claimed at any time; claimed tokens are released to your NEAR account. The treatment of these contracts after 30 December 2026 will be published in the first week of December 2026. NEAR validator I have NEAR staked with the Sweat validator (sweat_validator.poolv1.near). What do I do? The validator stops on 31 October 2026. Unstake or redelegate to another validator before then. Unstaking takes several epochs to complete.

Sweat Wallet and SWEAT as they exist today end on 30 December 2026 — what to do now

Sweat Wallet and SWEAT as they exist today end on 30 December 2026. The app works until then and you keep earning. Everything you need to do, with screenshots, is at update.swe.at. On 1 October 2026 The Sweat Foundation Ltd, the company behind the Sweat Wallet app and the SWEAT token, announced that Sweat Wallet and SWEAT in their present form will end on 30 December 2026. You have 90 days to secure your account and your assets. Key dates - 1 October 2026 — announcement. The app, the token and the smart contracts keep running as they do today. - 12 October 2026 — account deletion from within the app became available (Profile → Delete account, app version 175.0 or later), and the minimum term on Grow Jars was removed for all jars. - No later than 15 October 2026 — the private key backup in the app is made easier to find. - 31 October 2026 — the Sweat NEAR validator (sweat_validator.poolv1.near) stops. If you have NEAR staked there, unstake or redelegate before then; unstaking takes several epochs. - First week of December 2026 — the Foundation publishes at update.swe.at the changes and dates that apply from January 2027. - 18 December 2026 — the date by which we recommend you have completed the steps below. - 30 December 2026 — Sweat Wallet and SWEAT as they exist today end. What to do before 30 December 2026 Do these five things. Each takes a few minutes. Screenshots for each step are at update.swe.at. 1. Back up your private key and your NEAR account ID. In the app go to Profile → Security → View private key → Copy private key. Save it in a password manager or another secure place, together with your account ID (the name shown at the top of your wallet). Backing up the key does not change anything in the app: it means you hold the key outside the app and can control your account from any NEAR wallet that supports private key import (such as Meteor Wallet or HOT Wallet), even after Sweat Wallet is no longer available. View private key asks you to type your secret phrase and shows the key derived from it — so your secret phrase itself is also a complete backup (Meteor Wallet and HOT Wallet can import it directly). If you do not see View private key: the option appears only for wallets that have a secret phrase — tap Add secret phrase first (small gas fee; write the phrase down), and View private key then appears. If the app asks for a secret phrase you never created, you cannot export yet: keep your Apple or Google login, do not reset or delete the wallet, and wait — the backup is being made easier to find no later than 15 October 2026. Do not remove any magic keys (Apple/Google sign-in) or the secret phrase login methods — that can make the backed-up private key unusable. 2. Claim your earned $SWEAT. Open the app and claim any unclaimed $SWEAT into your wallet. 3. Withdraw from your Grow Jars when you choose. Jars keep working and earning during the window. Since 12 October there is no minimum term, so you can withdraw principal and yield at any time: in Grow, tap Empty All. Keep a few liquid $SWEAT for the network fee. 4. Move balances on other chains. If you hold balances on Ethereum, Base, BSC or Arbitrum inside the app, move them to another wallet you control, swap them into NEAR-based tokens, or bridge them to your NEAR account, while the app is running. A technical route for after the app ends will be published at update.swe.at before 30 December. 5. Optional, and the best protection: a seed phrase. If your wallet has no secret phrase yet, add one in Profile → Security → Add secret phrase (small gas fee) and write it down. You can use it to import your account into any NEAR wallet (such as Meteor Wallet or HOT Wallet) and confirm you have access to your funds. Do not remove any keys from your account. What happens next Until 30 December 2026 the app, the token and the smart contracts keep running as they do today. After 30 December 2026 the app and the services around it end in their present form. The SWEAT token continues to exist on NEAR and on the EVM chains where it is bridged, and can be held and transferred in any compatible wallet. $SWEAT left in Grow Jars will be transferred to the owner's NEAR account at some point after the window ends. The Foundation will publish at update.swe.at, in the first week of December 2026, the changes and dates that apply from January 2027. Where to get help Everything you need is at update.swe.at. Support: support@swe.at. We never contact you first by direct message, and we never ask for your private key or seed phrase. Our only official websites are swe.at, sweateconomy.com and whitepaper.swe.at. Anyone who offers to "help you recover" your $SWEAT is not us.
