Sweat‘s Move-to-Earn Ecosystem Gets Smarter with AI
Sweat, the popular move-to-earn platform that rewards users for staying active, has taken a significant step towards a more user-friendly and expansive decentralized finance (DeFi) experience. The platform has launched Mia, a personalized AI assistant designed to streamline user onboarding, simplify asset management across multiple blockchains, and offer interactive guidance.
Mia, short for ‘Movement in Action,’ is powered by Near.AI, an open-source AI model platform with crosschain capabilities. Integrated within the Sweat wallet, Mia acts as a helpful guide, assisting users with bridging, swapping, and managing their crypto rewards without requiring extensive crypto knowledge.
Expanding into a Multi-Chain DeFi Ecosystem
Sweat has also expanded its infrastructure to support Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain. This multichain approach allows users to seamlessly bridge and swap native tokens across these networks within the Sweat app, with the option to pay gas fees using SWEAT tokens.
Oleg Fomenko, co-founder of Sweat, explained the platform’s vision: “We’ve shifted to championing the Movement Economy—an expansive, multichain ecosystem where movement is not only rewarded but also unlocks access to financial tools, health experiences, and self-sovereign identity.”
Mia: More Than Just a Technical Dashboard
Fomenko emphasizes that Mia is not simply a technical dashboard. Instead, it’s designed to be a “helpful friend” guiding users through converting steps into Sweat tokens, earning staking rewards, and performing onchain actions like swapping or bridging tokens. This personalized approach makes the DeFi world more accessible to users who may be new to the space.
Addressing Privacy Concerns
The integration of AI into crypto wallets raises concerns about data privacy and potential misuse. Sweat addresses these concerns by implementing GDPR-compliant data handling practices, secure anonymization protocols, and frequent external audits.
“By aligning with the highest privacy standards and prioritizing user sovereignty, Sweat ensures that AI serves as a helpful, secure, and trustworthy assistant in the Web3 journey,” Fomenko added.
The Future of Move-to-Earn
Sweat‘s adoption of AI is not unique. Platforms like StepN and Plena are also exploring AI integration to enhance their platforms and address specific challenges. For instance, StepN utilizes AI to improve anti-cheating mechanisms. The move-to-earn industry is evolving, and AI is likely to play a crucial role in its development and growth.
As Sweat continues to expand its ecosystem and integrate advanced features, the platform will be closely watched by industry observers and users alike. Mia‘s launch is a significant step towards a more inclusive and user-friendly experience, offering a glimpse into the future of move-to-earn and the potential for AI to empower individuals within the Web3 space.
