If you like web3 and good food, keep reading…Whilst sitting in a Twitter Space a while back, I was browsing through the profiles of some of the speakers.

This is one for you…Finally, a project that I learned about outside of a twitter space. I’ve always fancied myself as the type to create something of my own, so when I heard of opportunities to align myself with the entrepreneurial crowd, I took them. Many of these have come thanks to the Flaming Galahs’ community, including...

Curious to hear more about the project that pays you to get active? Want to hear of the first-hand experience that I’ve had using the app? Keep reading…
Back at the start of April, while browsing one of my regular blockchain news sites, I came across an article reflecting on the soaring price of the $GMT token. What particularly caught my eye was the phrase ‘move-to-earn’. At this point, I’d just started to hear about and look into the ‘play-to-earn’ genre, so this idea of ‘move-to-earn’ was intriguing. After reading through the article, and coming to grips with the basic idea of the project (and noticing a mention of origins down under), I decided to take a closer look.
After reading the whitepaper, I was impressed by the motivations of the team, although there were some concerns that I still had. The main goals of the project as outlined in the whitepaper basically boil down to getting people active, simplifying the adoption of decentralised wallets for new users, and making a contribution towards carbon offsetting. As fantastic as the opportunities that these present are, I was still left concerned about the legitimacy of the project, as it very much appeared too good to be true. After a search around online found no claims of being scammed by the project, and some rough calculations put a complete ROI at about a month from investment, I decided to jump aboard and buy a sneaker NFT.
So, now’s the part where I cover my own experience with the app. My initial investment was 9.6 SOL (a month ago today, as of writing), for which I was able to purchase my sneaker [#597338375] and upgrade it to level 6. I spent the earnings from the next three days upgrading the sneaker to level 9. From that point, I made sure to cash out what I earned, to ensure that I would avoid being at a loss were the project to crash, which has added up to 10.03 SOL that I have cashed out as of today. Now that I’ve broken even, I may well decide to start reinvesting the earnings into more sneakers. After all, the added walking time certainly wouldn’t hurt.
Reflecting on my experience with the project, StepN has been a fantastic way to see my pursuit in web3 have a legitimate physical impact. It has been a great way to inspire myself to be more active, and I’m excited to see where it goes. The only concern I might voice is StepN’s longevity, but based on recent activity that doesn’t seem like anything to worry about anytime soon.
If this project is something that you feel like you might benefit from, go ahead and check out their website and whitepaper. Let’s get physical!
