What is AIRian?

AIRian is a Web3 project that offers services related to Move-to-Earn (M2E), enabling users to earn cryptocurrency rewards through activities such as marathon, running, and walking.

Besides releasing the smartphone app "RUNNER X," which allows users to earn cryptocurrency rewards through physical activity, AIRian also issues a governance & reward token named "$AIR" and NFTs known as "AIRian Avatars."

Aiming to build "a rewarding and connected decentralized running community," AIRian focuses not just on bringing runners into the Web3 industry but on enriching runners' experiences with Web3 technology.

AIRian has partnered with "Dong-A Media Group," a prominent media conglomerate in South Korea known for organizing the "Seoul International Marathon" since 1931. The company manages numerous marathon and running events in Korea.

AIRian's ultimate goal is "to merge activities like walking, running, and marathoning with the fantastic features of Web3, providing participants with diverse experiences, adding more value while supporting those seeking a healthy lifestyle, and enjoying these activities in new ways combined with digital experiences."

Launched in 2023, AIRian is currently working on developing features like "ticketing functions, in-app community features, crew functions, and online walking, running, and marathon event features," expected to be completed by mid-2024.

Future plans for AIRian include:

• Negotiations with global exchanges: with announcements expected soon.
