Over the past few days, STEPN has been intriguing us with meaningful posts and stories on his social media. On September 1st, some surprise awaited all users, but the community could only guess what it was.
It turned out that STEPN has a birthday in September – the project has a whole year. Over the past year, the total distance covered in the application is 104 billion miles or 167 billion kilometers. It’s like flying from the Earth to the Moon more than 400 times. Just think about these numbers! And of course, the creators could not help but please the community with nice bonuses in connection with their anniversary.
STEPN Movement
They once again emphasized the importance of their concept with the slogan “STEPN is a movement”, which manifests itself in the following aspects:
physical movement
This is not only an opportunity to earn on useful and simple activities (walking and running) but also health and well-being.
Social movement
Thanks to STEPN, people began to socialize after isolation during the pandemic.
environmental movement
Here, first of all, care for the environment is laid down through a healthy lifestyle embedded in people’s daily lives. Human health = planetary health. STEPN also sends $100,000 monthly to Nori to achieve carbon neutrality.
financial movement
The project has created several worlds for everyone to get financial freedom on various decentralized platforms. And the implementation of plans to earn GMT will add even more tangible value to the players.
Web3 movement
STEPN is a kind of bridge between web2 and web3. They managed to attract to web3 even those who were as far from this world as possible, and also gave NFT a whole new level of usefulness.
Competition
To celebrate the year and share the joy with the community, the project is introducing the #STEPNversary hashtag and is launching a weekly contest with a prize pool of 100,000 GMT to be distributed among the winners.
Week 1 (September 2-8). Before After
#STEPNbeforeafter
Share your progress in STEPN with Before/After screenshots. How has STEPN influenced you this year? What achievements can you boast of?
Week 2 (September 9-15). 12,000 steps
#STEPN1200
Walk 12,000 steps to get closer to nature. Did you know that 12,000 steps a day can help avoid nearly 10 pounds of CO2 in vehicle emissions? Share your success with #STEPNversary.
Week 3 (September 16-22). Burning burgers
#STEPNburgerburn
How many steps can you run or walk at one time? 19 calories per minute burned while running up the stairs for 13 minutes is a whole cheeseburger. Show how many burgers you burned per day during the week.
Week 4 (September 23-29). Running Friends
#STEPNBRFF
If you have a running friend that you go out for a run with on a daily basis, you’ll be more likely to adopt a healthy lifestyle, right? Share your longest run with a friend or group of friends during the final week of the STEPN competition.
What do you need to participate?
- Post the screenshot, video, or photo on social networks (Twitter or Instagram). An Instagram story doesn’t count, only a post is eligible for the contest.
- Make sure to use hashtags that match the entire contest (#STEPNEMBER, #STEPN) as well as the specific week (#STEPNbeforeafter #STEPN1200 #STEPNburgerburn or #STEPNBRFF)
- Follow the results on the official STEPN pages in these social networks
Distribution of awards
Recall that the total prize pool is 100,000 GMT. It will be distributed as follows:
- The top 20 participants in each challenge will receive 1,000 GMT tokens.
- An additional 20,000 GMT will be shared by those who manage to become the best in all four challenges at once. Thus, the total prize pool is 100,000 GMT.
Criteria for choosing winners
The best entries will be judged by STEPN Ambassadors based on the following criteria:
- video quality (should be high resolution and good lighting)
- content (something that is fun, engaging, interesting, and relevant to the theme of the particular challenge will be valued)
- level of involvement (retweets, reposts, likes – your additional advantage)
The winners of all challenges will be announced on September 30th via STEPN’s official Twitter.
On top of that, STEPN launched its official YouTube channel to share video content.
Summarize
STEPN is getting in touch with the community and that’s great. After all, periodic innovation is not enough for the project to flourish. It is necessary to constantly interest the audience, and increase interest in the game. Such a monthly interactive contest is a great idea to increase the popularity of the project against the backdrop of falling demand for NFTs.
Of course, it would be great if this competition was held in cooperation with a major sports brand, this would be additional support for the project’s economy. But let’s hope that such collaborations await us in a different format very soon.
