PUML is a virtual challenge and rewards Web3 platform that gamifies health and fitness challenges to reward users with Cryptocurrency (PUMLx) and NFTs. The move-to-earn challenges include activities like steps, sleep activity, hydration, mediation, along with the ability for fans to connect and engage with their favourite athletes.
PUML Better Health Founder Damien King said, “PUML is designed to incentivise healthy habits. PUML actively engages with and rewards participants with discount codes, merchandise, Non Fungible Tokens & PUMLx Coin, users are rewarded for being active.”
King, an engineer and early crypto native adopter, began mining crypto in 2012 and found himself struggling to incentivise his own health despite understanding the importance.
“We are excited to be making it possible for users to own their data in this way, as well as being able to create meaningful healthy habits in the community via these challenges. We are proud to be kicking things off with our Women in Sport campaign,” said King.
