STEPN is a Web3 lifestyle app with a mix of Social-Fi and Game-Fi elements in it. STEPN users equipped with NFT Sneakers – they can walk, jog or run outdoors to earn GST, which can be used to level up and mint new Sneakers or cash out for profit.
Players can also choose to lease or sell their NFT Sneakers on the in-app Marketplace. User’s GST earnings are stored in the in-app wallet that has a built-in Swap function.
Game Modes of STEPN
Solo Mode – Users are equipped with NFT Sneakers to earn tokens by moving. Energy is needed to earn Green Satoshi Tokens (GST). Every 1 Energy equals 5 minutes of move & earn. To begin, users need to select a sneaker of their choice and they start.
Marathon Mode – Users need to register under the Marathon Tab at least 24 hours prior to commencement. Two types of marathon such as Weekly Marathons and Monthly Marathons will be conducted.
Background Mode – this mode will count the steps directly from the user’s mobile device from the Health Data application when the app is not actively used by the users. By holding a sneaker and making 3,000 steps daily users can still earn GST.
