❓ 5 Questions for @yawn_rong - Round 5

Ask your #STEPNGO question below this post for the next round! ✏️

Q1: Will the tickets from one round automatically transfer to the next round, or are they just valid for one round, requiring me to buy new tickets for each round?

A: Tickets are valid for ONE round only, plus the extra round.

Q2: If someone joins STEPN GO as a Guest, can they buy new Sneakers from the marketplace anytime afterward?

A: Anyone who joins STEPN GO and is not an Alpha Tester MUST bind with a Haus from the Alpha Testers. Neither Host nor Guest can break free from the binding until the time expires (2 to 4 weeks). ONLY after this, can the Guest get Sneakers and start independently.

Q3: What are the benefits of inviting a Buddy in The Haus feature of STEPN?

A: Your Buddy will have the benefit of starting STEPN GO at no cost 😂

Q4: How many Sneakers will be distributed before the Beta testing?

A: We estimate to release around 7,000 Sneakers:

1/ 6,000 Sneakers to 2,000 Alpha Prize winners;

2/ 1,000 Sneakers raffled in Discord and X.

Q5: Are there plans for STEPN and STEPN GO to interact with each other?

A: Currently, there is no plan for the two to interact.

#STEPNGO AMA Recap 📜

Missed today's AMA?

Read on to learn everything, and join our Discord to avoid missing the next ones: https://t.co/T5VNsjRK2L

Let’s dive in 👇

Q1: Can STEPN GO surpass STEPN?

A: Initially, we planned to add new features to STEPN, but due to complexity, we created STEPN GO. STEPN GO simplifies login, optimises gas fees, and addresses game asset inflation with a redesigned economic system and Haus system for increased user engagement.

Q2: Will STEPN be abandoned if STEPN GO succeeds?

A: No, STEPN’s original model remains unchanged. STEPN GO’s success will benefit STEPN without altering its core.

Q3: Can users use both STEPN and STEPN GO simultaneously?

A: We didn’t set any technical restrictions.

Q4: How is STEPN GO addressing network congestion issues seen in STEPN?

A: Extensive technical optimisations have been implemented to improve user experience.

Q5: Is STEPN GO a fully decentralised game?

A: Yes, but with measures to prevent cheating.

Q6: What role does GGT play in STEPN GO’s economy?

A: GGT functions similarly to sneakers or outfits, balancing the economy by generating and consuming GGT.

Q7: Can users design their Avatars and Outfits or collaborate with big IPs?

A: Yes, users can design their Avatars, and there are plans for high-quality collaborations with well-known IPs.

Q8: Can Outfits in STEPN GO be traded like game skins?

A: Only certain Outfits, specifically sets, can be traded.

Q9: Can STEPN GO be used on treadmills or indoors?

A: No, effective anti-cheat measures for indoor use are not yet available.

Q10: How will STEPN GO attract running enthusiasts?

A: By integrating social features and making the game accessible without requiring Web3 knowledge (be a guest in the Haus system).

Q11: How can users obtain Genesis Sneakers in STEPN GO?

A: We’ll release Genesis Sneakers through promotional partnerships.

Q12: Can GMT and GGT be converted, and can Sneakers be bought during the Alpha test?

A: No conversion or trading during the Alpha Test; these features will be available in Beta.

Q13: How many Sneakers will be available during the Alpha test?

A: Between 6,000-8,000 Sneakers for 2,000-3,000 users.

Q14: Will the Sneakers won from the Alpha Draw be differentiated by left and right?

A: It won’t happen that all 3 Sneakers are on the same side.

Q15: Will STEPN GO have VIP subscription features like STEPN?

A: There are no current plans for VIP subscriptions.

Q16: Will STEPN GO have a chat feature?

A: Yes, text-based chat will be available.

Q17: Will there be high-end Sneakers like Rainbow Sneakers in STEPN GO?

A: No, there are no plans for such features.

Q18: Will cheating by Haus Hosts or Guests affect others?

A: Cheating by one party will not affect others.

Q19: Can Guests only get Common quality Sneakers? Does the condition of the Host affect the Guest?

A: Guests only receive Common Sneakers, and the Host’s condition does not affect the Guests’ earnings.

Q20: As the Haus system controls the minting quota, does it mean that users can’t mint during the Alpha test?

A: Haus only shows the minting quota; it doesn’t control the minting quota.

Q21: Does the shake-to-match feature find nearby players?

A: The shake-to-match is a non-local social feature allowing users to connect and share running information without revealing personal data.

Q22: Will there be diverse exercise modes like jump rope or cycling?

A: Currently, there are no plans to add other exercise modes due to anti-cheat challenges.

Q23: Why is the draw ticket price set at 5 GMT for 2 tickets, and is the result verifiable on-chain?

A: To make participation affordable, enhance user experience, and increase winning chances. Yes, results are verifiable on-chain.

❓ 5 Questions for @yawn_rong - Round 4

Got a #STEPNGO question? Share it below and we'll address it in the next round! 📝

Q1: What is the biggest learning from STEPN, and how will it be applied to STEPN GO?

A: This is a very deep question. There are a few things we learned:

1/ The move2earn model worked, but only with a robust anti-cheating mechanism, so SMAC upgrades are an ongoing process.

2/ The dual-token model worked, but only if the game tokens are burned for non-productive purposes. For example, if the game tokens are burned for productive purposes, then more game tokens will be produced, leading to inflation. This is exactly why we developed the social modules—the Outfit, Interactive Map, and MoonBase are aimed at non-productive purpose game token burns.

3/ The Energy’s daily renewing system in STEPN is not working; it literally creates a perpetual machine. Therefore, we implemented the new Energy System in STEPN GO, where the only way to get Energy is through Sneaker burning.

4/ Although STEPN was the first Web3 app integrating a marketplace, game elements, wallet, and DEX all into one, it was not enough for Web2 onboarding. So we designed the Haus system and FSL ID, allowing Web3 users to seamlessly invite their Web2 friends or family to STEPN GO without crypto knowledge or spending anything.

Q2: Why will STEPN GO use GGT and not GST?

A: GGT is under an entirely new design with an all-new tokenomic structure. Its utility is different from GST. Allowing GGT and GST to bridge would introduce many uncertainties we cannot foresee and could potentially destroy the in-app economy.

Q3: Will the Sneakers in STEPN GO also have skins?

A: Yes. The Sneakers are now part of the Outfit System, meaning people can change their Outfit to modify their apparence in the app.

Q4: How do you expect to onboard the masses with STEPN GO?

A: Thanks to the Haus system and FSL ID, onboarding will be much easier than with STEPN. Additionally, the new SMAC-7 and Energy System will ensure much more stable user growth.

We continue building because we believe in creating a sustainable and stable ecosystem. Therefore, it is not about building creative stuff, but about building things we know will work for a long time.

Q5: Can you provide more details about the Trial Sneakers?

A: The Trial Sneaker will NOT be available until next year. It is mainly used for promotional purposes by giving it to Web2 users to try.

❓ 5 Questions for @yawn_rong - Round 3

Have a #STEPNGO question? Comment below for the next round! ✏️

Q1: If I mint a Sneaker during the Alpha Test, will it be soul bound?

A: No. All minted Sneakers can be traded freely.

Q2: Will multi-accounting be discouraged in STEPN GO? (e.g., one person filling their Haus with their own alternate accounts)

A: We don’t discourage multi-accounting; we simply won’t know if the Guest and the Host are the same person or different people. However, if people move with multi-accounts or devices, the SMAC will find them and punish them.

Q3: Will you be offering bug bounties during the Alpha test?

A: We will seriously consider this option.

Q4: What will be the phone/OS/system requirements for STEPN GO?

A: At the moment, I don’t think STEPN GO has high requirements, but once we enable the 3D Avatar and Interactive Map features, the system requirements will increase.

Q5: The Whitepaper says “Users can turn themselves visible on the Interactive Map.” Wouldn’t that result in privacy issues? What about the potential for stalking?

A: No, because people are by default invisible, and anyone wanting to be visible needs to actively turn on this option.

Plus, we will offer different settings such as delayed display of your location, inaccurate display of your location, etc.

❓ 5 Questions for @yawn_rong - Round 2

Ask your #STEPNGO question in the comments for the next round! ✏️

Q1: Does qualifying for the Alpha GO role on Discord make us Alpha testers?

A: No. It is the Early Bird role, the OG title of STEPN GO Discord.

Q2: Will collaborations with STEPN continue?

A: Yes, but for the next 6 months at least, the focus will be on STEPN GO. You should find collaborations in different forms in STEPN in the near future, though.

Q3: Will those who participate in the Alpha Testing receive exclusive Badges or other exclusive rewards?

A: Not at the moment. I mentioned the perk of being an Alpha Tester in my previous answer: Alpha Testers will be the only group of people who can start their Haus once Beta testing is open.

One thing worth mentioning is that during the Alpha Draw, there are different types of stickers you can collect, and you can complete three different sets of varying quality.

Q4: How many Genesis Sneakers will there be in STEPN GO?

A: The total number of Genesis Sneakers for both STEPN and STEPN GO is 20,000. The maximum number of STEPN GO Genesis Sneakers will be 20,000 minus the already existing STEPN Genesis Sneakers.

Approximately 8,000 Genesis Sneakers are still available.

Q5: Does STEPN GO have Rainbow Sneakers?

A: No. GMT earning will be enabled once there is enough GMT in the Schadenfreude Pool.

The GMT earning in STEPN GO is similar to the Rainbow system in STEPN; it is a PvP type based on your Karma value and daily Energy consumption, rather than the duration of your running session.

❓ 5 Questions for @yawn_rong - Round 1

Yawn answered 5 #STEPNGO questions from the community!

Ask yours in the comments for the next round! ✏️

Q1: Why the GMT 4-year lock in the Alpha Draw?

A: We aim to lower the cost of the Draw as much as possible, so we used the staking method with a low rate per ticket. This approach allows anyone to participate. However, when the cost is so low, some compromises are necessary to prevent foreseeable exploitation, such as massive borrowing of GMT from the exchange. Therefore, we decided the locking period must be very long.

We will unlock all users' Alpha Draw GMT at the next BTC halving, a time when there is typically significant market attention on the space.

Q2: Is there a guaranteed prize for the Alpha Draw?

A: No. After designing the Alpha Draw, we felt we should give additional chances, so we added the Extra Rounds. For each ticket participating in the Alpha Draw, the user will also receive one Extra Round ticket. The Extra Rounds will have 10 winners instead of one, compared to the Alpha Draw.

We also designed some stickers that people can find after scratching their cards, which are currently useless. 👀

Q3: Do you plan to do a reset after the Alpha test before the beta opening, like in Gas Hero?

A: The purpose of the Alpha test is to find bugs and test if the tokenomics and game mechanisms are robust. The real benefit for Alpha testers is that they are the only ones who can set up their Haus after the Beta opening. Therefore, anyone who joins afterward must go through these few thousand seed users' Haus.

So, even if there is a reset, these seed users will still have some advantages. Currently, we don’t know if we will do a reset or not.

Q4: How is STEPN GO different from STEPN?

A: To put it simply, STEPN GO significantly reduces the barrier of entry from Web2 to Web3. This allows us to onboard these new users to other FSL products easily with the FSL ID (STEPN, MOOAR, ans Gas Hero), enabling the entire ecosystem to benefit from the user growth.

There are three things STEPN GO can do that STEPN cannot:

Log in and create a Web3 wallet without the need to write down seed phrases.
Use GGT/GMT as gas.
A Haus System that allows Sneaker lending, so new users don’t need to buy one.

Q5: How do you think the new rental system will impact the gaming ecosystem?

A: Since the Energy Cap is limited by the number of Sneakers burned, users might not be able to reach 30/30 Energy as easily as in STEPN. The best way for them is to start a Haus and lend 5 Sneakers to 5 Guests.

This way, the Energy consumption from the Guests does not come from the Host’s Energy Cap, allowing the Host to start accumulating Mint Quota much faster and mint more Sneakers to supply the market.

This additional supply of Sneakers will help the ecosystem scale quickly, and these Guests will eventually be able to start their own Haus, creating additional demand for Sneakers.

The Haus System, therefore, creates both additional supply and demand for the Sneakers. Since STEPN GO no longer requires any Web3 knowledge, we expect the demand to be much larger and last much longer.
