THE POLYGON REALM

Polygon is STEPN OG's third realm, alongside Solana and BNB. It replaced the Ethereum realm in August 2025. Its game token, pGST, cannot leave the realm; GMT, on the other hand, is shared by all three realms. The rules of the game are the same everywhere: only the economy is different.

DISCLAIMER

The Polygon realm is the riskiest of the three: its market is small, prices can fall quickly, and sometimes you cannot find a buyer. You can lose some or all of the money you spend. Nothing on this page is investment advice; check for yourself before you buy.

WHAT CHANGES, IN NUMBERS

As of 31 January 2026, according to @PolyGST.
POLYGON (pGST)SOLANA (sGST)
Tokens in circulation≈ 29 million≈ 4.4 billion (≈ 153 times more)
Token holders995783'141
Common sneakers for sale2259'100
Share of tokens held in Spending accounts22.4%—

WHAT IT MEANS

  • The realm produces little pGST: around 165'000 to 185'000 a day in total in February 2026. A rise in demand therefore pushes the price up quickly.
  • The realm inherited the safeguards introduced on Solana in 2022, including Minting Scrolls, so sneaker production there is limited.
  • No centralised exchange lists pGST: it is traded on DOOAR, STEPN's decentralised exchange. pGST contract on Polygonscan.
  • The market is small: prices rise and fall quickly, and sometimes there is no buyer at all. The stepn.jp website rates this realm “high risk, high return” and recommends Solana to beginners.

BURNED VS MINTED

The pGST destroyed (burned) and created (minted) each day, calculated from the contract's on-chain transactions. Burn bars point down, mint bars point up, and a line tracks the cumulative balance.

WHO PLAYS IN P COUNTRY

Mostly Japanese players and a handful of Europeans, several of them Swiss. More than 85% of the @PolyGST account's audience is over 35.

@PolyGST published the list of known players in its article of 22 February 2026.

THE IDEA: FROM A YIELD GAME TO A COOPERATIVE GAME

Today, newcomers' money ends up with longer-standing, better-equipped players, as in a game where one player's gain is another's loss. @PolyGST proposes playing like the owners of small businesses in the same country, drawing on game theory: in the prisoner's dilemma, everyone does better by cooperating.

Two voluntary rules, until pGST reaches a market cap of 10 million dollars:

  1. RULE 1Keep 100% of the pGST you produce in your Spending account, without selling or moving it.
  2. RULE 2Take profits only by selling gems, scrolls and sneakers.

Small accounts (under 200 pGST a day) are exempt. Once the market-cap target is reached, a P Country DAO would decide what share of their production each player may withdraw every month (25% is an example, not a decision).

This is a proposal: nobody has to follow it, and nothing is guaranteed.

CONTESTS THAT BURN

Contests give level 1 gems a use and burn pGST. They are also a low-cost way for players to build up their gear.

  1. JAN → JUN 20268 CONTESTSAbout 35'000 level 1 Resilience gems destroyed.
