What about STEPN?
Can the new STEPN GO dance?
The STEPN team stated that they are launching a new fitness social application called STEPN GO, which is a lifestyle application that focuses on diverse reward mechanisms, connecting fitness, sports, and social functions.
According to Chain News, STEPN GO will introduce the following features to enhance the game’s playability and user experience:

New Tokens GGT:
GGT (GO GAME TOKEN) is an unlimited supply game token used for upgrading and enhancing sports shoes, creating clothing, and participating in social activities. Similar to STEPN’s GST token, GGT can be obtained through walking or running.
Stamina Mechanism:
The game has a daily stamina limit, and exceeding the limit will cause the sports shoes to overheat and temporarily become unusable. Users must burn some sports shoes to obtain stamina and increase the stamina limit for sustainability.
Sneaker Lending Feature Haus:
Users will be able to lend their sports shoes to friends or family members and share the running profits. The more frequently users use the Haus feature, the more reputation points they will earn and unlock more benefits.
Customizable 3D Virtual Characters:
Users can customize their avatars, appearances, and clothing in STEPN GO. Additionally, clothing has different levels of rarity and can be earned through running and traded on the market.
Social Interactive Map:
Users can place “chat boxes” on the interactive map in the application to interact with others and add them to their friend lists. They can also invite others for a run by burning GGT.
Physical Fitness Levels:
The system will assess users’ running frequency and intensity and classify them into levels such as “soft, sore, and strong.” Users’ earnings will be based on their activity levels, with a 50%, 100%, or 150% profit rate. If users do not run for a certain period, they will receive less earnings.
Clearly, this feature aims to reward active users and motivate inactive users to encourage regular use of STEPN GO and promote outdoor activities.
In addition, users will soon be able to participate in a lottery using locked GMT tokens during the STEPN GO Alpha phase and share the first batch of 6,000 pairs of STEPN GO sneakers.
It is reported that the STEPN team has changed most of their official community accounts to STEPN GO, including X, Instagram, Youtube, and Reddit. This move has raised concerns among long-time STEPN users, who are inquiring about the fate of their old STEPN accounts.
In response, the STEPN team, Find Satoshi Lab, stated that they will not be affected, and the OG STEPN application will remain unchanged. In other words, STEPN and STEPN GO apps and accounts will exist independently, and there may be potential connections between the two accounts through other incentive measures, although FSL has not disclosed many details.
While the teaser video is filled with excited and anticipatory comments, the official announcement has raised widespread concerns among users:
“You chose not to solve the original problems but started another project and made its mechanisms more complicated. I don’t think Stepn Go will be better.”
As a legendary Move-to-Earn game of 2022, STEPN was once seen as the dark horse application most likely to break through the cryptocurrency industry. During its peak, it had over 700,000 monthly active users and provided users with significant daily earnings of over $42 when the GST token price reached new highs in the game.

However, the good times didn’t last. The pressure of the bear market and the declining influx of new users led to a decrease in average income for both the team and users, accelerating the outflow of users.
Currently, STEPN’s lowest daily income is only $0.06, and the number of monthly active users last month was only 14,000.

Despite this, the STEPN team continues to focus on product updates and brand collaborations, including integrating Apple Pay into the app, launching the social PvP game Gas Hero, and announcing a collaboration with sports giant Adidas last month to release 1,000 NFTs.
However, the future development of STEPN or the new STEPN GO depends on whether new and old users foot the bill.
