StandApp has announced that it will soon launch sMiles, a Bitcoin Lightning Network-based application that allows users to earn cryptocurrency for performing simple daily activities such as walking, running, cycling, playing games or watching videos.

Igor Berezovsky – co-founder of the project and CEO of Shape, the company behind the IM + instant messaging app – stated that the new application aims to promote mass adoption of Bitcoin, while at the same time striving to make people “healthier and wealthier.” and happiness.”

The sMiles app, which stands for Miles and Smiles, is for everyone, not just people who already know what Bitcoin is.

Berezovsky said:

Besides the end-user application, we also have a background on the robust and scalable Bitcoin Lightning that we want to offer to application partners who are interested in micro-incentives for their users.

A satoshi – or “sats” is currently the smallest unit of a bitcoin, each representing one hundred million of a single bitcoin.

To measure the distances people travel, the sMiles app will use the GPS positioning service of smartphones.

According to Berezovsky, users will get one satoshi even while driving, although not as much as walking because the app wants to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Users will also get initial rewards for giving the app various permissions such as access to geolocation and notifications.

All accumulated satoshis can then be freely transferred to any external Lightning wallet, in addition, no registration is required unless you wish to withdraw more than 10,000 satoshis.

Berezovsky added:

There is no obligation to register a real username on sMiles, we are fully committed to your privacy and security of use.

He also noted that at this time sMiles is currently funded by family and friends, without institutional funding.

But the startup already plans to work with health insurers, advertisers and other partners in the future, and is currently in talks with several game providers who are interested in background mileage.

After launching sMiles, the startup also plans to integrate somewhat similar functionality into the IM+ cross-platform app.

Where, according to Berezovsky:

Of course there is a plan where you use IM + the sMiles backend.

My view is that people should earn bitcoins not just for steps, in the case of IM+, people should eventually earn bitcoins to use social networks.

Currently, developers are accepting closed public test requests for “sMiles”.

The application will be available for all different operating systems, including Android and iOS, as well as the Apple smart watch.
