Automatically Detects Movement and Pauses with 'Auto-Pause Pass'
Positive Response in Pre-Launch Test

Proground, the operator of the reward-based healthcare platform 'Superwalk,' announced on April 28 that it has carried out a large-scale feature update to enhance user convenience and exercise immersion.


Superwalk currently offers two modes: 'Pro Mode,' which rewards users with cryptocurrency for exercising?such as walking or running?while wearing NFT (non-fungible token) shoes; and 'Basic Mode,' a pedometer version that can be used without any special equipment. The platform has rapidly grown, with a cumulative total of 410,000 registered users and a monthly retention rate of 81%.

The newly added features focus on improving the practicality of exercise and the intuitiveness of the interface. These features include: ▲ audio notifications when deviating from the target pace, ▲ auto-pause pass, ▲ quick item purchase mode, ▲ visualization of running metrics such as pace, cadence, and calories, and ▲ an NFT shoe energy guide.


In particular, the 'auto-pause pass' detects the user's movements and automatically pauses or resumes the workout. Its sensitivity can be adjusted, allowing users to flexibly adapt the feature to their individual exercise environments and styles.


These functions were verified for stability and effectiveness in a pre-launch test involving approximately 1,500 users. The test demonstrated positive results, with 74% of participants indicating their intention to reuse the feature.



Kim Taewan, CEO of Proground, stated, "We have actively incorporated feedback from actual users in the Superwalk community, effectively enhancing user immersion and convenience compared to competing services," and added, "We will continue to focus on advancing our features to encourage ongoing user participation."
