M2E, Stephen

 P2E? Now, M2E (Move to Earn)!

Play-to-earn (P2E) is now a universal concept. It gained attention as a way to make money while playing games. Domestic game companies have also vowed to develop P2E games. This atmosphere is heating up not only cryptocurrency but also the stock market.

But I think you can think about this. What if I know P2E, but I don't like games? I don't have time to play games, and if I don't like games, I don't think I'll have many opportunities to experience P2E. For those of you, I'd like to introduce you to a new type of project. M2E (Move-to-earn) and StepN (StepN) who make money by walking and running.

Stephen is a project created by Solana, a rapidly growing blockchain platform as a competitor of Ethereum. It's a project that won 4th place in the Hackathon competition hosted by Solana as the main sponsor. Stephen can be described in one sentence below.

There must be an app that comes to mind while listening to the explanation above. It's called "Cashwalk." Cashwalk is a so-called money-making pedometer. Stephens are essentially a cache walk. However, the difference is that cashwalks give money if they walk, and Stephen gives tokens if they walk or run.

Stepn is a Solana-based app with social and game elements. If you have sneakers (NFT) and run the app (StepN) to walk or run outdoors (GPS), you can use up the set energy per day to get the items called coins and mystery boxes.

Sneakers (NFTs) can be grown (leveled up) using tokens and have different capabilities (stats, socats). Although the number of tokens you can get per day is limited, you can get them efficiently depending on your ability. Like actual sneakers, NFT sneakers wear out if you use them for a long time, so you have to use up tokens to repair them. You can also synthesize sneakers (NFTs) to create new ones (breeding).

The token earned through Stephens is called the Green Satoshi Token (GST) and you can make a profit by selling or exchanging this GST. Alternatively, you can level up your sneakers using GST or repair the durability of your sneakers. Eventually, you can choose to cash the tokens you get from walking or running right away, or you can consume them and grow your sneakers quickly to get more tokens.

Stephens can only be started if they have sneakers (NFT) that are basically the same as game items as the game items. First of all, the user must choose sneakers to match their fitness level. There are four main types of sneakers: Walker, Jogger, Runner, and Trainer. The number below each sneakers means the speed per hour. Stephens must select sneakers according to each player's level.

If you run with sneakers that don't match your usual running or walking speed, you may not get a token. So you have to choose jogger and runner rather than walker to use the steppen while running. Of course, you can get more tokens by spending the same energy when running than walking, but keep in mind that you have to choose the right sneakers for your fitness level.

Sneakers can be purchased at the marketplace in the Stephen app. However, in the case of sneakers, you have to choose carefully because the skill level is different. In general, the better the performance of the sneakers, the more efficient the token can be. Of course, the price will be expensive as the performance is good, right?
