Please introduce yourself and provide a detailed introduction of 5KM?
Rachel
Hi! I am Rachel, the Marketing Manager of 5km and I am a sweet girl😉❤️
5KM is based on the evolution of the 10KM sports APP founded in 2014, and the original intention is to link Web3.0 and create a richer and more social Move to Earn product.
Let’s “move to earn”🪐

What make 5KM different and unique from StepN?
Rachel
STEPN is the first to create the “Move to earn” model, and it also has a large number of users. However, the entry threshold of STEPN is relatively high, and a pair of running shoes NFT is at least 1,000 US dollars, so it will restrict a large number of users from participating.
A pair of 5KM MINT running shoes is about 0.05eth, 150u, which is a relatively low entry threshold and can meet the needs of most currency circles or new users.
In terms of products, 5KM is also a dual-token model, which will pay more attention to the content of the event and social sections, making running more interesting and more disseminated. At the same time, the rewards obtained by participating in the event will not be limited to running shoes nft, and users can get more benefits every day.
The rental market is also the core of 5KM. Users can pledge excess running shoes/in-game tokens to earn rewards, or they can run without sneakers and get random token rewards.

What are the benefits of holding more than a few NFTs?
Rachel
The mileage value for holding regular shoes is 5
While The mileage value for holding Genesis shoes is 50
The more mileage value, the higher the revenue
The amount of revenue obtained is directly related to the mileage value, but not linearly.
Jonty|Host
What are the intial token rewards KMT and Run?
Rachel
Kmt is a game token, and players can monetize kmt earned by running or walking
$Run is a governance token that will go live on the exchange, which was originally scheduled to go live at the end of May, but due to the recent bad crypto environment, we may postpone it
The「experience mode」of 5KM is ready for EVERYONE, and users can get up to 10 $kmt a day just need an activation code.😊

How about the background of team?
Rachel
The founder of 5KM is a full-stack engineer and a serial entrepreneur. He founded a sports app community in 2014 and often ran at that time, so he developed a running motivation system app to incentive those who complete run goals, the name is 10km. today, and then stopped for a while, which is also the predecessor of 5km.
At the beginning of 2022, He found the product stepn on social media, which is also a running motivation app, but in a web3 based way, which is very impressive for him.
However, He found that stepen is based on sol chain, while the evm series chain has more users yet has no related product, so He wanted to restart the previous 10km. today project and there was 5km. today founded story.
TWITTER ROUND
What are the benefits for Genesis NFT holders?
Rachel
Holding the genesis Shoes will have more airdrop benefits, such as $run tokens online
And can earn more than 5km shoes
