# Stride MVP

### Building the Foundation

The Stride App MVP represents the first stride towards our grand vision. Developed with a dual focus, the MVP serves not only as a precursor to our NFT collection marketing but also as the springboard for the $STRIDE Token Generation Event (TGE).

### Engagement Through Competition

In this preliminary phase, users don't earn $STRIDE directly; instead, they accumulate points through active participation. The MVP unfolds over two competitive seasons, each with its own set of rewards and incentives. Season 1 is designed to ignite the community's spirit, with the top 1000 participants guaranteed a Whitelist (WL) spot for our forthcoming NFT minting.

### The NFT Advantage

Why vie for a spot on the Whitelist? Here’s the twist: During Season 2, staking your Stride NFT within the app activates a massive 15x point booster, amplifying your ability to accumulate points and, subsequently, a more substantial share of the $STRIDE Airdrop.

### Cumulative Effort

Crucially, the points from Season 1 carry over to Season 2, ensuring that users' early efforts continue to pay dividends. This cumulative scoring emphasizes the importance of consistent engagement throughout both seasons.

### Leaderboard Dynamics

How do Striders rise through the ranks? It's not just about social farming; it's about moving, completing challenges, performing general tasks, and engaging with our unique SocialFi tasks. All of these activities contribute to your standing on the leaderboard.

### App Features

The MVP is rich with features designed to engage and grow our community:

* Easy onboarding process
* Profile customisation including demographics, profile picture, and social connections
* Real-time app notifications for engagement
* Solana wallet integration for seamless transactions
* Accurate step tracking with validation and claiming system
* Diverse challenges and general tasks to keep users engaged
* SocialFi tasks that blend social networking with finance
* A referral system to expand our community reach
* A dynamic leaderboard showcasing top performers
* An NFT staking system for enhanced rewards

### Goals of the MVP Phase

The MVP is more than a launchpad for Stride; it's a litmus test for community building and user engagement. Our objectives for this phase include:

* Exponential user growth on social platforms
* Laying the groundwork for a strong, cohesive community
* Gathering user feedback for continuous improvement
* Establishing trust within our community, with partners, and among potential investors by demonstrating our commitment and capability

The Stride App MVP is our first offering to the world, embodying our dedication to creating an experience where fitness, gaming, and social interaction converge to form a healthy, engaged, and competitive community.
