## STEPN's operation mechanism: dual token system

The core of STEPN lies in its dual token system: GST is used to reward users' sports activities; GMT is used for governance and ecosystem expansion. Users need to purchase or rent NFT sports shoes, each pair of shoes has different rarity and attributes, which affect the earnings. Users earn GST and mysterious boxes (containing NFTs and tokens) by wearing sports shoes for outdoor activities and consuming shoe energy.

In addition to earning through sports, STEP also offers a Sneaker leasing system, allowing users without NFTs to rent shoes to start earning, reducing the entry barrier. According to the STEP white paper, the leasing system is implemented through FSL ID, and users can get started with just an email and activation code, aiming to promote the adoption of <a href="/ja/web3" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Web3</a>.

STEPN's community governance is its important feature, users holding and staking GMT can participate in voting, influencing the platform's future development direction. For example, GMT can be used to vote on the use of the ecological fund or the introduction of new features, enhancing community engagement.

## STEPN GO: A new lifestyle application that combines social and gaming

In May 2024, STEPN announced the launch of a new social fitness application STEPN GO on the official X platform, which includes more social interactions such as easy entry through the Haus System, the ability to lend Sneakers to others, showcasing more designs on the interactive map within the application, and the introduction of a new token GGT (GO GAME TOKEN). GGT, as a game token, has an unlimited supply, while GMT remains the governance token. In STEPN GO, GMT is still used for upgrading sneakers, etc.

[STEPN](/price/stepn-gmt) The 2.0 version of GO has brought many innovations to the entire sneaker ecosystem, especially in the introduction of GGT tokens, the launch of the shoe rental system, and the more strategic entry threshold design. For early players, this is undoubtedly a new opportunity.

In addition, STEPN GO has also introduced GGT (GO GAME TOKEN) as a new utility token, further enriching the ecosystem. According to the official website of STEPN GO, GGT is used to incentivize users to participate in social and gaming activities, enhancing user stickiness.

## BurnGMT Plan: Temporary Boosting of GMT Coin Price

In November 2024, STEP announced the BurnGMT plan, with the team repurchasing approximately 6 billion GMT coins and donating these tokens to the ecosystem fund managed by GMT DAO. According to the official introduction, these tokens mainly come from early investors, advisors, and team allocations of unlocked tokens.

Subsequently, the team developed the BurnGMT.com platform, allowing users to lock GMT coins to vote on whether to destroy these repurchased tokens. The voting activity will last from November 21, 2024, to January 20, 2025, for a total of 60 days. Users participating in the vote will also receive a reward of 1 million GMT as an incentive.

The purpose of the BurnGMT plan is to enhance the deflationary properties of GMT by reducing the circulating supply. After the plan was announced, [GMT price](/price/stepn-gmt) Start to rise, reaching $0.40 by the end of 2024, showing the market's optimistic expectations for the BurnGMT plan.

This may be related to the volatility of the entire crypto market, or it may reflect investors' pessimistic expectations for the slow development of STEP N GO.

The implementation of the BurnGMT plan and the launch of STEPN GO have brought new growth opportunities for GMT.
