The Haus Sneaker Lending

The Haus is STEPN GO's peer-to-peer sneaker lending marketplace. Landlords earn passive income from idle sneakers. Tenants play without buying.

What is The Haus?

The Haus is a unique STEPN GO feature that allows sneaker owners (Landlords) to lend their sneakers to other players (Tenants). Revenue from each earning session is automatically split between the two parties via smart contract on the Polygon network — no trust required.

The Haus is a STEPN GO exclusive feature on Polygon. Check the official STEPN GO app for current marketplace availability and listings.

How It Works

Step 01

Landlord Lists a Sneaker

The sneaker owner sets the yield split percentage, rental duration, and lists the sneaker in The Haus marketplace.

Step 02

Tenant Rents the Sneaker

A player browses available listings, accepts the terms, and immediately begins using the sneaker to earn GGT and pGMT.

Step 03

Earnings Auto-Split

After each earning session, yield is distributed automatically via smart contract — Landlord and Tenant receive their shares instantly.

Landlord vs Tenant

Landlord

Passive Income

Earnings

Receives their share of all GGT and pGMT earned during the rental period — completely passively.

Costs

Sneaker durability decreases during tenant sessions — repair and maintenance costs fall to the Landlord.

Ideal For

Players with multiple sneakers who cannot walk daily, or who want passive returns on idle assets.

Tenant

Low Entry

Earnings

Keeps their share of each earning session — percentage set by the Landlord at listing time.

Costs

No upfront cost — earnings are shared, not prepaid. No ownership risks.

Ideal For

New players wanting to try STEPN GO before buying, or casual walkers unwilling to commit to a sneaker purchase.

Revenue Split

The yield split is defined by the Landlord at listing time. A 70/30 split means the Landlord receives 70% and the Tenant keeps 30% of all GGT and pGMT earned. Rare or high-level sneakers typically command a higher landlord share due to their greater earning potential.

Key Considerations

  • +Sneaker durability decreases during tenant sessions — factor repair costs into your expected net yield as a Landlord.
  • +Higher rarity sneakers earn more per session, making them attractive for both roles but commanding a higher landlord split.
  • +Carefully evaluate the yield split before renting — a 90/10 split leaves very little incentive for the Tenant.
  • +As a Tenant, The Haus is the lowest-cost way to earn in STEPN GO and an ideal way to evaluate the app before buying.
  • +Smart contract enforcement means neither party can default on the split — it is trustless and automatic.
