1. GST Token Explained
GST stands for Green Satoshi Token.
It is the in-game token that players earn playing STEPN.
Furthermore, it has an unlimited supply.
But, a total of 60,000,000 GST tokens were created at the start of the project.
Half of it was minted in SPL and the other half in BEP20.
| Token Version | Supply |
| SPL | 30,000,000 GST |
| BEP20 | 30,000,000 GST |
The coin was further allocated as follows:
- 40 million GST tokens for liquidity:
20,000,000 GST (SPL) and 20,000,000 GST (BEP20) were used to add liquidity on Orca, Raydium, and Pancakeswap.
- 20 million GST tokens for cross-chain function:
10,000,000 GST (SPL) and 10,000,000 GST (BEP20) were locked to achieve a cross-chain between Solana and Binance Smart Chain.
Use Cases Of GST
1. Gaming Incentive
GST is used as an incentive to reward users of the STEPN app.
To earn this reward, a user must purchase STEPN’s NFT sneaker and burn some energy by moving around (as explained in this article).
Each sneaker can be upgraded from level 0 to level 30.
Also, STEPN has different gaming modes: Solo, Marathon, and Background mode.
Players who have levels 0 to 29 sneakers can earn the GST token by successfully playing either Solo or Background mode.
Furthermore, STEPN has 4 different types of sneakers.
The GST reward according to sneaker type can be seen in the table below.
| Sneaker Type | GST Reward |
| Walker | 4 GST / 1 Energy spent |
| Jogger | 5 GST / 1 Energy spent |
| Runner | 6 GST / 1 Energy spent |
| Trainer | 4 – 6.25 GST / 1 Energy spent |
Impressively, a player can earn a maximum of 300 GST tokens per day if he upgrades his sneakers to a certain level.
PS: Energy is needed to earn the GST and it is one of the features in the game.
Every 1 Energy spent equals 5 minutes of move-to-earn.
Players will immediately stop earning GST when their energy depletes.
2. In-game Actions
Players spend a small amount of GST to open a mystery box in the game.
Also, the GST token is burned to perform the following in-game actions:
- Repair or level up sneaker
- Unlocking socket and upgrade gems
Although the GST is inflationary by design, this frequent burning also makes it deflationary.
At the time of writing (May 2022), GST is valued at over $4 per unit, with over a $14 million market cap. (Info from Coinmarketcap).
2. Overview Of The GMT Token
The GMT (Green Metaverse Token) exists as a Bep-20 and SLP token.
It was created for the following use-cases:
- Governance
- Staking
- In-game token
At the time of writing, GMT majorly serves as STEPN’s in-game token.
How to earn GMT tokens on STEPN
Interestingly, while playing the STEPN, players can earn GMT tokens.
But, there is a condition: the players must have a level 30 sneaker and at least three energy.
Furthermore, GMT earnings are distributed randomly; the more users earn GMT at a given time, the rarer GMT earnings become.
Another way to earn GMT on STEPN is by subscribing to the Schadenfreude Pools, but this is still under development.
GMT Allocation
GMT has a fixed supply of 6,000,000,000 tokens.
This supply was distributed fairly, and only 24.9% was allocated to the STEPN game.
Also, GMT has a long vesting period that will end in 2030; 10% of its supply is now in circulation, according to CMC.
The total supply of GMT is expected to reduce in the future.
And this is because players need to burn a certain number of GMT tokens to perform the following functions in the game:
- Upgrade their sneakers and gems to level 5 and other higher levels
- Mint sneakers
- Increase their daily GST earning cap.
This ultimately makes GMT a deflationary token.
At the time of writing, the price of GMT is $1.96, and the market cap is over $1 billion.
The GST and the GMT tokens are now traded on multiple exchanges. Check out the top 5 below!

5. Are These Tokens Good Investments?
The GST token and the GMT token have seen a pretty bull run recently (Q2 of 2022).
Let me start with the GMT token.
GMT quickly became one of the most popular coins soon after listing on the Binance exchange at $0.13298.
Impressively, this coin increased by 1,230% immediately after its listing and subsequently by over 45000% in just 2 months.
An early investor would have profited almost $45,000 from this coin if he invested $100 earlier.
Also, information on Coinmarketcap shows that GMT has an ROI of 15792.06%. Woah, that’s a crazy return!
In fact, GMT is so popular that it once exceeded the trading volumes of Bitcoin on March 30th.
Although GMT’s price has now plummeted to $1+, it is still on CMC’s list of the top 100 coins, and early investors are still in profit.
Now, over to the GST.
The price of this token increased from around $3.4 in March to $9.03 in April. Impressive.
However, this coin is now down in May, and it is trading at roughly $4 at the time of writing.
Should you invest in these coins?
STEPN is a solid project, and some investors have made money by investing in its tokens, GMT, and GST.
However, I can’t predict whether they will be a profitable investment for you.
If you want to invest, remember that the crypto market is extremely unpredictable.
You should only invest the money that you can afford to lose.
