Interview with w Yawn Rong - Co-Founder STEPN. STEPN is one of the world’s leading “move2earn” apps. Put simply, users get paid crypto tokens for physically going for walks. It has been a remarkable success in its short 12 month existence with 5M registered users and 650,000 daily active users.

They have done co-branded “phygital (digital/physical) sneaker” deals with sports company ASICS, Spanish football club Atletico Madrid and more. And they are backed by some big Web3 investors, Solana Capital, Morningstar Ventures and Sequoia.

Best of all it was started by two neighbours – just like Afterpay was founded by neighbours. Lesson for us all to keep an eye on next door – they might be the pathway to success.
