Walk across India, place GPS-verified markers on Mantle blockchain, collect crypto coins, earn multi-chain tokens (gMNT/gPOL/gBNB), and chat worldwide.
GPS Runner Web3 is a blockchain-based location game built with Flutter that combines real-world movement with Web3 rewards. Players walk or run across India to place GPS-verified markers on-chain, collect crypto coins, earn custom game tokens, and compete on leaderboards.
Players physically move in the real world (walking/running) to:
Place GPS-verified markers at locations
Collect crypto coins spawned on the map (Pokemon Go-style)
Earn custom game tokens as rewards
Compete on city and global leaderboards
Chat with players worldwide in real-time
All location data is verified and stored on the Mantle blockchain, ensuring transparency and preventing cheating.
