Tokens: GST & GMT

Understand the two-token economy of STEPN OG — what they are, how to earn them, what they're used for, and strategic considerations for each.

GST

Green Satoshi Token

Unlimited supply

GST is the primary in-game utility token. Every user with any sneaker earns GST by moving. Because supply is unlimited and tied to user activity, GST price is highly correlated with the active user base.

Uses

  • Repair sneaker durability (HP)
  • Level up sneakers (Lv 1–29)
  • Upgrade gems (Lv 1–5)
  • Mint new sneakers
  • Open mystery boxes
  • Swap/trade on DEX

GMT

Green Metaverse Token

6B fixed supply

GMT is the governance and high-tier utility token. Fixed at 6 billion tokens, it has inherently better long-term price stability. GMT farming requires Level 30 sneakers with maxed Comfort.

Uses

  • Level up sneakers (Lv 30)
  • Upgrade gems (Lv 6–9)
  • Burn for governance votes (GMT DAO)
  • GMT Pay — Web3 payment
  • Access premium sneaker features
  • Swap/trade on DEX

Info

GST has chain-specific variants: sGST (Solana), bGST (BNB), pGST (Polygon). Each has its own price and market dynamics. GMT is cross-chain but requires bridge to transfer.

Token Economic Model

STEPN uses a dual-token economy designed to separate daily utility (GST) from long-term value (GMT). GST is intentionally inflationary to keep repair and upgrade costs predictable in real-world terms, while GMT's fixed supply ensures it can serve as a store of value.

The burn mechanism is critical for both tokens. GST is burned through repairs, upgrades, and minting. GMT is burned through Lv 30 upgrades and governance participation. More users = more burn = potential price support.

Tip

For long-term investment considerations: GMT has a deflationary pressure from burning while supply is capped. GST value depends entirely on new user inflow staying ahead of supply inflation. Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research).
