Create a challenge (Sponsor)

Review the conditions and screen steps for creating a challenge.

  • Create a challenge with yourself as the Sponsor.

  • Creating a challenge uses crypto-assets or tokens from your wallet. If your wallet has no assets, you can’t create one.

  • If the wallet does not hold the required asset, check the network and assets currently supported in the app. If you use an external service, review that provider’s latest availability and fees before sending.

  • ESPL records the challenge on the blockchain. Check the challenge detail screen for the current step-submission period. A network fee may apply when steps are submitted; review the amount on the confirmation screen.

Three ways to join a walking challenge

There are three ways to take part in a walking challenge.

Sponsor

  • Creates a new challenge.
  • Provides the challenge funds that will be distributed according to the result.
  • Must be a registered ESPL user.

Challenger

  • Actually performs the walking challenge.
  • Must be a registered ESPL user.

Receiver

  • Receives the challenge funds assigned for success or a miss.
  • Does not have to be a registered ESPL user.
  • Must have a wallet address.

Create a challenge

  1. Choose the network to use for the new challenge.

  1. Tap the walking icon.

  1. Tap “Create challenge”.

  1. Tap “Create original challenge”.

  1. Enter a challenge name.

Use any name you like.

  1. Tap the Sponsor field and choose yourself.

The Sponsor can only be yourself. (When you export the challenge, other users can be chosen.)

  1. Tap the Challenger field and pick yourself or another person from the address book.

  • The Challenger can only be a registered ESPL user.

  • If nobody is in your address book, register them in the address book first, then pick the Challenger.

  • You can set yourself as the Challenger.

  1. Enter the amount of challenge funds and choose the asset.

Check the coin or token and network shown on the current screen, then enter the amount.

Decimal values are allowed — e.g., 0.0001.

  1. To receive an NFT on challenge success, enable that option.

NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are recorded on the blockchain. They can be linked to items such as images, video, audio, and other digital files.

  1. Tap “Next”.

  1. Pick the challenge start date and end date.

The number of challenge days is calculated automatically.

  1. Enter the daily step goal.

  1. Enter the minimum required achievement days.

Enter how many days within the challenge period must meet the daily step goal. Before continuing, review the period and required number of days together.

  1. Tap “Next”.

  1. To add a recipient for challenge funds on success, tap “Add recipient”.

Distribute the challenge funds based on the challenge outcome.

  • Tap the address-book icon to choose the recipient who receives the challenge funds on success.

  • If your address book has no entries, register the addresses first.

  • Recipient eligibility may change. Check the current screen for the wallet addresses that can be selected.

  1. Tap the % field and set the distribution share within the range shown on screen.
  • Move the slider to adjust the share.
  • The current operator fee is 2%. A separate network fee may also apply. Recipient shares therefore normally total no more than 98%, but review the current fee and total on screen before confirming.

  1. For multiple recipients, keep the total distribution within the limit shown on screen.

Confirm that the total, including the current 2% operator fee, is correct on screen.

  1. Set the failure-case distribution of challenge funds the same way.

The failure-case recipients and shares don’t have to match the success case.

  1. Tap “Next”.

  1. To allow give-up, enable the give-up option.

This sets whether the Challenger can cancel the challenge partway.

  1. Pick one of the give-up distribution rules.

Review each distribution method and choose the one that matches the arrangement agreed by the participants.

  • Refund the challenge funds to the Sponsor.

  • Distribute challenge funds to the recipients configured under “Success-case distribution” according to the achievement rate, and refund the remainder to the Sponsor.

Review the final distribution, operator fee, and any network fee on the confirmation screen.

  1. Tap “Next”.

  1. Review the contract details.

  1. Read the caveats. If you agree, check all four boxes.

  1. Tap one of the following.

(1) Send challenge

(2) Send challenge (advanced)

Tap to review the coin or token balance, network fee, and submission details before sending.

Tap to export the challenge to another device. Scan the QR shown on the other device, or copy the challenge address to use during import.

  1. The challenge is sent to the blockchain. Confirm the amount to be sent and tap “OK”.

  1. Enter your PIN.

  1. The challenge has been sent to the blockchain.
  • It takes some time for the transaction to be reflected on the blockchain.
  • You can share the created challenge via email or social.
