A Simple Take on Move to Earn 

Aglet has a simple take on a move-to-earn game that rewards players for walking, jogging, or running by allowing them to collect virtual sneakers and in-game currency, Aglet coins. The game features a map dotted with various spots such as Treasure Stashes for earning Aglets and Repair Stations for maintaining sneakers.

Players must strategically navigate these locations, considering the cooldown times for optimal visits. Sneaker selection is crucial, as each pair comes with specific attributes that affect earning rates, influenced by weather conditions and the sneaker's durability. By engaging in physical activity and making smart in-game decisions, players can enhance their collections while leading an active lifestyle.

How to Get Started 

Aglet is available for both iOS and Android devices. NFT sneakers, also called digital collectibles, can be bought directly from the in-game marketplace. They have a specific "NFT" tag to differentiate them from non-NFT sneakers. With Aglet's partnership with Immutable, it is soon expected that these NFTs will be tradable on other marketplaces aside from the in-game one.
