๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธMOVE-TO-EARN๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ on Solana. HDOKI Honest Review by Darox
Not a deep dive in the Solana Ecosystem.
What new can we find in Solana Ecosystem? Without looking for it too much. The best projects should be right at the top. So I'll save myself the search for a niche that no one has heard of yet. After all, I know that most when they hear the slogan "Solana Ecosystem" think it's just SOL.๐คฃ๐
I open one of my favorite sites and, like a police officer called to a car parked in a car accident, I investigate.
1,2,3 Booooooom!!! I found it! ๐๐
In the ranking of the most popular projects, HDOKI is in second place. ๐๐๐ฅ
The policeman would already consider it a job well done and return to his warm and comfortable car. I can't do that because an article on BULB would be too short to publish.๐คช
So I decide to dig deeper into the topic.๐โโ๏ธ๐๐๐๐โโ๏ธ
HDOKI is an Entertainment ecosystem
Wow!๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ Now they have my attention.
๐๐๐ENTERTAINMENT๐๐๐
This is definitely something for me. I think I'll write a blog beyond the minimum words needed for publication.
Entertainment + token + Ecosystem = X
Give the value of X. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
๐๐๐ X = EARNING ๐๐๐
Hurray, I was right. The only thing I don't like here is the word MOVE. ๐๐๐๐
Well, let's give them a chance. Maybe by moving I'll earn enough that I won't have to move anymore for the rest of my life. ๐
Let's see how much money can be made vs. how much the developers are making.
28% for free. I can accept it.
It's time to install the App
They have versions for Android and iPhone. Not bad, I have an iPhone.

I am in it....
WoooW I can have control over how much water I drink! ๐ฎ๐
In the old days, I used to look to see if my water bottle was empty. Now I have it on my phone. I love it!๐๐๐
I decided to try the HDOKI app
I allowed the app to download information from Health on my iPhone. I did the same thing earlier for the popular Move-to-Earn Sweatcoin app. Both apps were running. I will point out that Sweatcoin does not even need to be launched. Your steps are always counted when you have your phone with you. Sweatcoin has a very large and active community.
Very quickly I realized that HDOKI does not count steps when the screen is turned off, so I walked around with the screen on. It ate up my battery, but you have to give them a chance.
๐กTHEY CHEATED ME๐ก
See for yourself the results shown by the apps.
This is a screen shot from the HDOKI app. It shows that I only took 1628 steps during the whole day.
My legs hurt like I've been through a lot more than that.
I have to check it out with the original that is Health app on iPhone.
๐ฎWHAT?๐ก
10 014 steps at the same time!
๐คWhat will Sweatcoin show?
10 014 steps
My sore legs and smelly socks speak more for this option.
Let's see if GPS will count my steps better
HDOKI asks me if I will allow the app to track my location. I do so even though I think I am making a mistake. Sweatcoin does not require it.
Just after a few minutes cool zigzags appear on the map.
Maybe I was lucky. But I'd better leave the app on longer.
OK, half a day with the screen on should be enough. Let's check the result.
"Well Done!", that's what I think too...
Let's see how many steps....
WHAT???
After I had the GPS and phone screen on for half a day, the app counted only 433 steps. This is Very, Very Far from the actual result. Let's check how Sweatcoin counted...
This is correct!
Further doubts
If you want to be able to collect your coins you must have a registered HDOKI console. It is shared by all applications running in this ecosystem, which is a good thing. What I don't like is that in order to register the console you have to give all your data, first name last name, etc. Reading the privacy policy I learned that this data is collected by the company in France. Something like KYC but I don't play with that anymore. I did not take this step and do not have a registered console.
Conclusion
HDOKI advertises that every move counts. Unfortunately, this is not true. Neither counting your steps by syncing with the Health app nor sharing your location and using GPS counts your steps. It is thought that this application is made only to benefit from the hype that is around the Move-2-Earn and Solana blockchain. There are many Solana price predictions giving hope to developers to take advantage of the hype. Perhaps the application will be improved, but my concerns about privacy and centralization will remain.
