How does step validation and rewards work?

Walk. Validate. Earn !

Updated over a week ago

Every step you take brings you closer to daily rewards. The system is designed to motivate your physical activity by converting your steps into coins and bonuses. Here’s how it all works.

🎯 The purpose of the step validation system

A system built around consistency
Each day, you can validate your steps to earn Macadam coins. The system isn’t static. It adjusts to your rhythm and encourages you to stay active regularly, not just hit one big number once.

🎁 What rewards are available?

Coins and bonus packs
By simply validating your steps, you earn coins. But when you reach specific step milestones during the day, you unlock bonus packs. These contain extra coins and are available to everyone, regardless of your crown level.

The more milestones you reach, the more bonuses you receive.

⚙️ How are step goals calculated?

They evolve with your activity
Your required step count is dynamic. It increases or decreases based on your recent activity. If you’ve been walking more consistently, the system will gradually raise the bar to match your effort and keep the challenge relevant.

🥇 What’s the benefit of having a Silver or Gold crown?

More milestones, more rewards
Users with a Silver or Gold crown can access additional milestones beyond those available to Bronze users. These unlock higher rewards throughout the day and maximize your earning potential.

🔒 Why are some milestones locked?

Milestones are linked to crown levels
Everyone can validate up to 45,000 steps per day. However, some reward milestones are only unlocked once you reach a higher crown level. If a milestone is locked, it’s an invitation to level up your status and access more.

⏰ When do you need to validate your steps?

Midnight is the deadline
Your steps must be validated before midnight, based on your device’s local time. After 00:00, a new step day begins.

The app automatically adapts to your time zone, so there’s no manual setup needed.

ℹ️ Good to know: Coin rewards don’t stack

Only the highest milestone of the day counts
Let’s say you validate your steps multiple times in one day. The reward system will always take into account your best result, not add up all previous ones.

Here’s how it works in practice:

You validate
2,500 steps in the morning
→ You receive 15 coins

Later, you validate again
5,000 steps total for the day
→ Your 15 coins are automatically replaced by 25 coins

At the end of the day
→ Your total reward is 25 coins, not 15 + 25

The system always rewards you based on the highest step milestone you’ve reached ; not each one along the way.
