Engineering Studio Engineering Studio Walk. Earn. Compete. Impact
Athlon is a move-to-earn mobile app that rewards users for walking. Each step counts towards earning Motions, redeemed as partner coupons for real-world products and services. Reliable step tracking is the currency of the whole system, so the app reads activity from a native pedometer backed by Apple Health and Android Health — accurate, battery-friendly, and resilient to backgrounding. On top of that foundation sits a full engagement layer: a coupon marketplace, in-app lotteries and giveaways, and — most recently — step challenges, where an administrator sets a goal (say, 30,000 steps in three days) with a prize, and users opt in and compete to hit it. Behind the app, a full management CMS lets administrators run partner stores, coupons, lotteries, and challenges, and read deep analytics — stats per device, total steps, averages, redemptions, and engagement. Athlon also tracks environmental impact, converting activity into ecological metrics, and is a proud Supporter Member of the We4All Environmental Alliance. Full push notifications keep every loop alive — new coupons, lottery draws, challenge milestones, and nudges to keep moving. Kukarika built the entire ecosystem: the cross-platform app, the management CMS, and the API that ties them together.
