A little extra cash can go a long way, and it would be nice if you could earn some extra money just for walking around. Misfit, the fashion forward smartwatch company, is partnering with Bitwalking to make that possible.
The Bitwalking technology is designed to turn steps into a kind of digital currency or “W$.” Users will be able to generate W$ straight from their wearable devices. Every step is worth the same amount, no matter who or where you are.
Misfit is the first wearable technology brand to partner with Bitwalking.
“Misfit is different – they are not afraid to push boundaries, to create new spaces,” Bitwalking CEO Nissan Bahar said in a statement. “Misfit is at the forefront movement tracking devices and an exciting partner for exploring how the Bitwalking world will look beyond traditional mobile devices. The wearable space is a natural expansion for Bitwalking creating a technology that walks with us and recognizes our human value.”
