Questions.
For full eligibility and proof details, see the Edition 01 Rules.
What exactly do I have to do?
Register, complete one activity of at least 5 km between 31 October 2026 and 3 January 2027, submit reasonable evidence, and confirm the activity is your own. When accepted, you become a Founding Finisher.
Can I walk?
Yes. Run, jog or walk. There is no qualifying pace and no central start line.
What can I use as proof?
Examples include an activity-app screenshot, GPS watch summary, connected-platform activity or treadmill display, as long as the evidence shows the activity, date and distance. See the Rules for full details.
Do I need to own Bitcoin?
No. Bitcoin is the inspiration. No Bitcoin ownership is required to take part.
Do I have to invite someone?
No. Your own accepted 5 km earns your recognition. Inviting somebody else is encouraged because passing the movement is part of the mission.
Can my company or community join?
Yes. Communities, clubs and informal groups can create a free Founding Team. Companies use the Movement Pack, with a dedicated company route, a Company Hub and company recognition. Add visibility materials and merchandise to suit your plans.
