You decide: Upgrade $SWEAT’s minting windows?

By Sweat Team

Updated

We’re asking you to weigh in on one of the most important updates yet, and it comes with the debut of something brand new: Sweat Wallet Premium Subscription.

What is SWEAT’s Premium Subscription?

This will be a subscription inside the Sweat Wallet that unlocks the ultimate experience for movers. It’s designed to give you SWEAT, allowing you to mint from 0–20,000 steps (Premium subscribers on Sweatcoin app get an extra 10k mintable steps on top.).

For the first time, it gives our most active movers the ability to go further and enjoy a smoother, premium experience inside the Sweat Wallet.

There’s plenty of other benefits, which we will showcase in January.

And there’s more to it than just personal benefits: the Premium Subscription will generate revenues that bring SWEAT closer to profitability. Profitability enables buybacks and burns, which could help with strengthening the token for the entire community.

The Proposal

This vote decides whether we keep minting windows exactly as they are or upgrade them for subscribers while keeping Free users unchanged.

Option 1: No Change

Minting rules stay exactly the same for everyone.

Free users: 3,000–10,000 steps
Sweat Wallet Subscribers: 3,000–10,000 steps

Pros:

  • Everyone keeps the same familiar minting ranges.

Cons:

  • Premium subscription becomes less attractive.
  • Very active users get no additional value.

Option 2: Upgrade

Free users stay exactly the same.
Subscribers get an expanded minting window.

Free users: mint SWEAT on 3,000–10,000 steps (no change).
Sweat Wallet Subscribers: mint SWEAT on 0–20,000 steps per day.

Pros:

  • Active users can earn more by walking more.
  • Higher revenue for Sweat Foundation, helping start buybacks sooner.
  • Token supply remains controlled with only a small emission increase (estimated: 0.4%).

Cons:

  • More work for our development team.
  • Slight increase in token emissions.

This makes the base tier fair for everyone while giving movers the choice to earn even more with a Premium Subscription. Importantly, it also ensures that the total number of $SWEAT tokens minted each month changes only minimally.

By introducing SWEAT’s Premium Subscription as an optional subscription, we fulfil the demand for higher minting potential, while keeping supply stable and predictable.

That balance between supply and demand is what strengthens the long-term sustainability of The Movement Economy.

Why It Matters

This vote sets the foundation for:

  • A fair and stable base minting window for all Free users
  • A meaningful premium subscription for active movers
  • Stronger revenues to support future buybacks and burns
  • Sustainable long-term growth for The Movement Economy

Please note that SWEAT’s Premium Subscription* and these changes are still a few weeks away from launching, as this vote is to approve the minting windows as a core benefit of the upcoming subscription. This gives us time to refine the feature, address technical feedback, and ensure a smooth rollout.
