# GLOSSARY

STEPN terms, explained in a sentence or two. The Rules and Polygon pages link here.

## TOKENS AND ACCOUNTS

TOKEN

A digital currency, also called a cryptocurrency. STEPN uses GST and GMT, plus a little SOL, BNB or POL to pay fees.

NFT

A unique digital item, recorded on a blockchain (a public online register). In STEPN, every sneaker is an NFT. Its price can go up or down.

GST

Green Satoshi Token: the game token you earn by walking. It's used to repair and level up sneakers, upgrade gems and mint. Each realm has its own.

pGST

The GST of the Polygon realm.

sGST

The GST of the Solana realm.

GMT

Green Metaverse Token: STEPN's governance token, shared by all three realms. It's used for high levels and advanced upgrades.

SPENDING ACCOUNT

The in-app account you play with: sneakers, gems, GST.

WALLET

The crypto wallet built into the app, protected by 12 secret words. You use it to receive and send tokens.

P COUNTRY (P国)

Players' nickname for the Polygon realm.

## SNEAKERS

SNEAKER

The game's virtual shoe. You buy it in the app, then you walk with it to earn GST. It is an NFT: it belongs to you and you can resell it.

ENERGY

Rewarded walking time: 1 Energy = 5 minutes. It refills by 25% every 6 hours.

HP

A sneaker's Health Points. Below 20%, it no longer counts towards Energy; at 0%, it can no longer be used.

DURABILITY

A sneaker's condition, out of 100: it goes down with every walk and is repaired with GST. Below 50/100, earnings go down.

LEVEL

From 0 to 30. Each level gives attribute points; some milestones unlock gem sockets.

ATTRIBUTES

Efficiency (GST per Energy), Luck (Mystery Boxes), Comfort (HP and GMT), Resilience (Durability).

RAINBOW

A sneaker that only earns GMT. Also the name of a type of gem reserved for these sneakers.

MINT

Creating a Shoebox from two parent sneakers of level 5 or above.

SHOEBOX

What a mint produces. You open it to get the new sneaker.

MINTING SCROLL

The item you need to mint. You find it in Mystery Boxes.

ENHANCEMENT

Burning 5 sneakers of the same quality to get one of the next quality up.

FUSION

Burning a sneaker to try to improve the base attributes of another one of equal or higher quality.

## GEMS AND BOXES

GEM

An item that boosts an attribute. Each gem goes in a socket of the same colour; three gems of the same level can make one gem of the next level.

SOCKET

A gem slot on a sneaker, unlocked at levels 5, 10, 15 and 20.

MYSTERY BOX (MB)

A reward that drops at random while you walk. It contains GST, gems and scrolls.

## WHILE YOU WALK

KAIOKEN

A player technique: start walking just before an Energy refill, so you can spend more Energy in a single session.

The app isn't counting your walking (weak GPS or unnatural movement): no earnings.

AIRWALKING

Some session data is missing. You need to stop the session.

SMAC

STEPN's anti-cheat system, which checks every session.
