Post the success of STEPN, play to earn or fitness niche has gained a lot of traction. Recently there were too many new applications launched with similar concept of earning for doing fitness tasks. Walken is the new entrant and in this Walken review, I will detail down everything about Walken along with how you can grab one of its NFTs for free.
Walken Review – What is Walken?
Walken is a play to earn mobile application that rewards its user with WLKN token for every activity they do. It uses the movement detection capabilities of smartphones to capture the accurate step count of users.
It rewards its users with a free collectable as soon as they sign up and it’s a beautiful CAThletes which at level 6 gets converted to a tradable NFT. Each of the CAThletes comes with different statistics and levels which plays a major role in game.
Users can earn two type of assets by completing tasks in Walken app:-
- GEMs – You can earn GEM by walking, running or doing any kind of activities

Total supply of WLKN token is 2 billion and is available only in Solana network. Current price of WLKN token at the time of writing this article is $0.06875.
Getting Started with Walken
I came across this application when I was looking for STEPN alternative due to drop in price of STEPN’s native token GST. The thing that attracted me with Walken project is, you don’t need any investment to kick start with this project. Yes, you heard it right!
I do a lot of research before investing in any project and I did the same here even though this project doesn’t require any investment. The prime reason is my time and I did go through some of the videos, website, whitepaper before making my decision to try out Walken Application.

Walken app is available on both iOS and Android, so you can download the app based on the device you use. Let me quickly run through the steps to have the application up and ready to earn.
Setting up Walken Application
Run the application after the installation of Walken app. You will get a screen requesting to create an account. You can choose Facebook or Google for sign up.
You will then get a screen listing the Walken rules, just go through it once. Now comes the most important step to create your wallet. You will be prompted to save your recovery phrase and then click “Got it”. Next step is to verify your account and you are done!
Free Walken NFT
This is the best thing about Walken compared to any other walk to earn projects. You don’t have to invest anything to try out this application. You get a random collectable CAThletes – cute little cat, as soon as you are done with sign up. This collectable gets converted to a tradable NFT as soon as the CAThletes reaches level 6.
Walken NFT comes with three type of statistics – Speed, Strength and Stamina; each of it plays a major role in game play.
The Walken collectable is free however to convert it to a tradable NFT requires a lot of effort. Let’s see how you can level up your CAThletes now.
Level Up Walken CAThletes NFT
Levelling up your CAThletes will require both GEM and WLKN tokens. The no. of tokens required to level up increases with increase in level so for levelling up from 0 to 1 will require 7 GEMs and 1 WLKN token. Detailed break up with level and the tokens needed to level up is listed below:-
In order to convert your collectable to a tradable NFT, you will need to increase the level of your CAThletes to 6 which requires a lot of time, GEMs and Walken tokens which is approximately 399 WLKN tokens and 308 GEMs in total.
I am playing around with the application for now, will soon share more tips and tricks on the application.
Earning GEMs & Walken Token
The user interface of Walken app looks cool and it rewards its users to earn two assets – GEMs & Walken token (tradable).
Earning GEMs – Walken GEM Multiplier
This part of earning is quite simple and straight forward. Users earn 1 GEM as reward for every 1,000 step they walk and the reward multiplies with more the no. of CAThletes. Let’s know more about Walken GEM Multiplier…
Users holding 1 CAThletes will be rewarded with 1 GEM for every 1,000 steps however user with 2 CAThletes reward gets multiplied by 1.5 and so on.
- 2 CAThletes – Gems x1.5
- 3 CAThletes – Gems x1.9
- 4 CAThletes – Gems x2.2
- 5 CAThletes – Gems x2.4
- 6+ CAThletes – Gems x2.5
So higher the no. of CAThletes you hold in your wallet, higher will be the reward.
Earn Walken Token
This application comes with an add-on feature where you can compete with other users and get rewarded in the form of Walken token (tradable token).
Walken League Competition
Each league comes with three type of competition – Spring Running, Urban Running and Marathon Race.
- Spring Running (Speed) – A race over short distance (60 – 400 meters) at the top-most speed
- Urban Running (Strength) – A run around the city requiring strength, agility and explosiveness
- Marathon Race (Stamina) – A road race with a distance of 42.195 km where greater stamina is the key
Choose the competition based on the statistics of your CAThlete e.g. if your Cathelete has higher Stamina then opt for Marathon Race.
There are six leagues in all which gets unlocked as and when you level up your CAThlete. Higher the league, higher will be the reward (WLKN token) and tougher the competition. Below are the breakup of WLKN token you can earn in each of the leagues:-
- Possible Reward for League 1 – 0.1 WLKN token
- Possible Reward for League 2 – 0.19 WLKN token

- Possible Reward for League 4 – 1.03 WLKN token

You get 12 energies in a day so there is a chance of earning anywhere between 1.2 to 61.68 WLKN token (~$0.083 to $4.26 – at current price of $0.069/token) everyday depending on your level.
Is Walken App Good to Try?
Like I said at the start, this application doesn’t require any investment which means you can kick start with your earning with zero investment. The only thing that you may have to put in is effort and time by doing various activities like walking, running or jogging which is good for your health. It also tracks your steps automatically without any manual intervention, except for competition and level ups.
To conclude, this application motivates its users to stay fit with zero investment and it also rewards its users with a free Walken NFT and WLKN tokens. You may not be earning huge in terms of daily reward at current price however the token value may appreciate along with the NFT values so in a long run you will be rewarded.
