What is STEPN and how does it work?

Why in STEPN two tokens – GMT and GST?

In the STEPN application, you can use two assets at once: Green Satoshi Token (GST) and Green Metaverse token (GMT).

GST receives applications in the process of physical activity. You can spend them on the repair of “sneakers”, their improvement and purchase of additional pairs in the marketplace inside the application. GST tokens have unlimited emission, but when consumed by the user, they are burned to limit inflation.

GMT – control token. It can be bought on cryptocurrency exchanges or starting to earn with the help of NFT things when reaching the 30th level. At the same time, the speed of “production” GMT using sneakers is gradually reduced.

What is STEPN and how does the application work?

Due to the too high rate of emission of A unique avatar: new tokens and the fall in the popularity of the application, the cost of GMT fell from the peak reached at the end of April 2022, almost 4 times by the end of August. To maintain the price of cryptocurrency, the STEPN team began to conduct regular GMT redemption from the market and its further burning.

What depends on the profitability in the STEPN application?

At the initial stage of the game, the user receives GST tokens for every minute of active movement. The income depends on the five factors:

Type of STEPN sneakers

Each NFT has its own “speed mode”, which determines the desired type of user activity in which he receives GST:

  • “Walking” (Walker): Movement at a speed of 1-6 km/h brings 4 GST for each unit of spent energy.
  • “Jogger”: Easy run at a speed of 4-10 km/h gives 5 GST per unit of energy.
  • Runner: Running at a fast pace of 8-20 km/h, 6 GST per unit of energy.
  • “Trainer”: The user himself selects a pace in the range of 1-20 km/h and receives from 4 GST to 6.25 GST for each unit of energy.

Speed ​​of movement

To maximize the “profitability” of STEPN sneakers, the user must move in the speed range, which corresponds to their selected type. When speed goes beyond, earnings are reduced.

Quality

Each NFT has its own quality parameter: “ordinary” (common), “unusual” (uncommon), “rare” (RARE), “epic” (epic) and “legendary” (Legendary). The higher the quality, the more expensive the sneakers, the more they bring income.

Level

You can increase the characteristics and profitability of digital sneakers by increasing their level. To do this, burn a certain amount of GST. The higher the level, the more up tokens will be required for upgrades.

Efficiency

It depends on this indicator how many tokens the user receives in one minute of movement. Until the 29th level for physical activity, only GST can be obtained, from the 30th level it opens with access to the pharmacy GMT.

Sustainability

As the user moves, the sneakers wear out. With high wear, NFT receives a fine for profitability. If stability decreases to 50% – efficiency will decrease to 90%, with a decrease to 20% – efficiency drops to 10%. To restore stability, sneakers need to be “repaired” by spending a certain amount of GST on this.

What are the special collections of STEPN NFT?

How the STEPN project develops

Applications developers plan to add several additional game modes.

  • Marathons, in which applications users will be able to compete with each other. Each participant is guaranteed to receive remuneration in accordance with the Regulation in the leadership table. The winners of the weekly or monthly marathon will receive awards in the form of GST or GMT tokens, as well as a special NFT sign.

  • Quests. Various tasks will appear in the application, for the implementation of which users will receive achievements.

STEPN adheres to the status of carbon neutrality. According to the developers, for this they send part of the profit to buy special “carbon loans”. According to the project’s road map, GMT holders will also be able to purchase loans over time.
