# About Walken **Walken is the flagship app of the Cuze ecosystem and a blockchain game on the Solana network that connects healthy lifestyle, gaming, and crypto.** Together with *satellite hybrid-casual games* (Walken Runner, Walken Blocks, and Walken: Speed Crime are currently released ones) powered by web3, it forms a robust and sustainable ecosystem, offering players *tons of diverse experiences* and *boosted monetization* of their gaming skills. In Walken, players own NFT game characters called CAThletes and compete in running disciplines to earn rewards. The game incentivises players to lead a healthy lifestyle through **gamifying daily activity**: steps walked in real life are converted into the in-game soft currency - *Gems* - for further uses to level up **CAThletes** (in-game characters) as well as for an array of other in-game activities. CAThletes compete in running disciplines for **$WLKN tokens** - the native token of the Walken ecosystem. The more a player walks, the stronger their CAThlete gets, winning them more tokens per competition in. Thus, physical activity directly impacts players' income and how high they score in the game! Leveraging the **user-friendly UI** and **simple fun gameplay** spice up with **sustainable economy**, Walken brings a whole new level of adoption and engagement. We aim to onboard thousands of non-crypto people and let them experience what the blockchain and DeFit has to offer in different games **across the Cuze ecosystem**. **As of early 2024 Walken has gained significant traction, boasting over 4 million downloads & 200K+ MAU. Join the Walken community and embark on a rewarding gaming journey today!** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
