WalkABit is a platform that lets users earn cryptocurrency and € and $ while they are traveling. We give you crypto assets for visiting famous landmarks and we pay you cashback for using restaurants, bars, bike rentals, boat rides, guide tours and many more!

Yes, we are using 3 factor authentication of your location, to ensure that you are at the spot (doesn’t matter if it’s a landmark or our partner offering cashback).

Click top left corner of the app and the menu “Show categories” will appear. Tick only the categories you’d like to be shown on the map. The unmarked categories will be hidden.

Yes, there are two tabs “Map view” and “List view” in WalkABit app. In the tab “List view” all the places are shown in the form of a list and are sorted by proximity to your current location. The tab “Map view” shows them as pins.

It is the distance from your location to the place in straight line. To learn what’s the shortest walk to the destination, click on the chosen place and press “Show route”

They indicate the reward that you can get for visiting the landmark, or the percent of your spend that you will receive as a cashback for using the services.

Choose a landmark either by clicking on a corresponding pin in the tab “Map view” or by choosing one of the landmarks from the list in the tab “List view”. Click “SHOW ROUTE” and you’ll see how to get to the site. Arrive at the place and press “Get Reward” that will appear automatically at the bottom of the screen. Answer the question and the reward will be credited to your in-app wallet.

You are not close enough to the landmark. Come closer to the pin on the map and “Get Reward” will appear at the bottom of the screen.

Check what error message you got in the app and act accordingly

• Nothing: Try again as GPS might have lost the connection.

 

• Wrong answer: Look around for the answer, it doesn’t match with the correct one (Letter size doesn’t matter). Check if you didn’t press space after the answer

 

If the problem still persists, just contact us on help@walkabit.app, describe the problem and location and we’ll solve it with you.

 

At this point, you can only get landmark rewards in cryptocurrency (as opposed to cashback rewards which are currently only in €).

After earning exchange minimum, you can exchange any cryptocurrency into BTC, which can be exchanged into USD.

Some of the currencies have also pair with USD so you will be able to exchange it directly.

You will receive cashback in €.

We are working to implement possibility to choose cashback currency at each spot or globally for the whole app. Stay tuned…

Withdrawing cryptocurrency:

Please remember to make sure to check your crypto wallet address. Unfortunately, we cannot retract the transaction that has been sent. If you paste wrong crypto wallet address, your funds will be lost and we will not be able to refund them

IMPORTANT NOTE

• There are minimum limits for withdrawal of each currency – to check the minimums, please visit What are the minimum withdrawal limits?

It’s because we work with Bittrex cryptocurrency exchange platform. Their platform is responsible for all withdrawals and transactions of cryptocurrencies. Minimum limits are set by Bittrex and we don’t have impact on their level.

For each bank transaction there is a fee that we need to pay. We don’t charge you for it, but we need to make sure that transactions are substantial.

Minimum limit for EUR withdrawal is 7€ and for USD it’s $7.50

With every new currency added to our platform, we will be growing this list

EUR: 7€

USD: $7.50

BTC: 0.0002

DOGE: 505 DOGE

 

It all depends on the currency.

For cryptocurrencies: 

It is instant and you just need to wait for the blockchain to process your request. There are slower and faster cryptocurrencies, therefore it might take from 1 minute up to 2 hours.

For EUR and USD:

At this early stage, we offer only one option – regular bank transfer that can take from 2-5 days to reach your account. We’re currently working on more withdrawal options. Our goal is to reduce the time to instant transfers and give our users multiple options.

We don’t take any fees, since we’re not the exchange. We use our exchange partner technology and there are transaction fees indeed, however for the first 2 months we are taking them on us.

There is an option “EXCHANGE” in your in-app wallet. Each currency has 1 or more exchange pairs.

You will be able to exchange once you reach minimum exchange limit. Due to cryptocurrency exchange partner’s rules, we cannot change the minimum limits and they are defined by them.

 

With every new currency added to our platform, we will be growing this list

EUR: — exchange currently not available

USD – BTC: $1.40

BTC – USD: equal to $1.40

DOGE – BTC: 1351 DOGE
