What is STEPN (GMT)

STEPN is a Web3 lifestyle app with inbuilt Game-Fi and Social-Fi elements. Stepn is hosted on the Solana blockchain and is a perfect example of using blockchain technology to incentivize people to take positive actions that are beneficial to society. 

It is an activity tracking app built on the Web3 which gives users the exciting option of earning money while they exercise or play its in-app games. 

Stepn is built around most people’s daily activities which involve a lot of moving around. The app is mainly composed of a “ Play to earn “ game feature and a “move to earn “ fitness feature. 

It was founded with the mission of becoming the leading Web3 health and fitness app. 

The creators of the Web3 lifestyle app hope to inspire people to a healthier lifestyle, introduce them to Web3 and combat climate change through the occasional purchase of Carbon emission offsets. 

To get a clear picture of what the Stepn web3 fitness app is all about. We are going to highlight its main components, what they do, and how they interoperate with each other to create the Stepn experience. 

NFT Sneakers

The NFT sneakers are a key component of the Stepn web 3 apps. They are virtual sneakers that users can buy and then proceed to earn tokens with it while doing their daily exercise. There are various modes of exercise available in the Stepn fitness app. To get a comprehensive view of them visit the Stepn Litepaper here. 

There are various sneaker types designed to fit different fitness levels. The higher the fitness level of the sneaker, the more tokens to be earned. In this way, the Stepn Web3 has a direct effect on the intensity of exercise its users do. 

Users can burn their earned tokens to either level up their sneakers or customize their features. The NFT sneaker is at the center of Stepn’s “ Move to earn”feature.

 

The current price of a Stepn NFT sneaker is approximately $700. 

STEPN marketplace

The Stepn marketplace is an in-house market area where users can sell or lease their NFT sneakers. New users who cannot afford to buy a fresh pair of NFT sneakers can lease from existing users for free to split their earnings later. The original owner of the NFT shoe keeps 70% while the renter takes 30%.  

STEPN Tokens

The Stepn Web 3 app has two native protocol tokens with two distinct roles. Crypto entities with two protocol tokens are said to follow a dual token model. The two native protocol tokens of the Stepn apps are  

1. Green Satoshi token or GST token
   The GST Token is the utility token of the Stepn app. It is the token earned by Stepn users doing exercise with their NFT shoes on. It has an unlimited supply and has some in-built features ( Burning mechanisms )that shield it from inflation.
   The GST token can also be called the Stepn game token alluding to its functionality in the Stepn Ecosystem. 
2. Green Metaverse token or GMT Token.
   This is the governance token of the Stepn web3 lifestyle ecosystem. It has a limited supply of 6 billion tokens. Users can only get this token when they reach a sneaker level 30.  

Carbon Offsetting Feature 

 The Stepn lifestyle app makes provision for users to donate its GST tokens to Carbon emission offsetting schemes. The Stepn app also commits a percentage of its donation to the same cause to help combat climate change.

How Does STEPN Work

 

Stepn is built on the Solana network and its consensus mechanism is a combination of Proof of history and Proof of stake consensus mechanisms. 

Stepn also uses the Byzantine fault tolerance feature which ensures that its ecosystem keeps running even if some of its 200 nodes worldwide get faulty.

The Proof of history consensus speeds up Stepn’s transaction time to about 50,000 transactions in one second.

The Stepn app works like any other “ activity tracking app “. It is pretty easy to set up and can be downloaded on both App Store and Google Play store.
