We think you are already familiar with significant marketplaces where you can purchase one or another NFT collection. Have you ever wondered where to buy a lot from the collection of STEPN sneakers?
All sneakers are traded for the internal coin of the world in which you plan to play. For example, on the Binance Smart Chain in STEPN, you can only buy sneakers with BNB tokens, and so on. Now let’s move on to the available sites.
Built-in marketplace
It should be warned immediately that this option is only available for Android users. This section is still relevant for IOS since the web marketplace has almost the same interface and functionality. So, what is the built-in STEPN market?
You can get to it using the grocery cart button in the lower right corner of the screen.
This is a very convenient market, which is divided into three sections:
- Sneakers _ _
- Gems (gems or precious stones)
- Others (scrolls for mint)
The names of the first two sections speak for themselves, but in the third, it seems that something else is planned to be sold. What exactly is still a mystery.
Each section has its convenient filters. The filter has the most parameters in the main section with sneakers.
Let’s take a closer look at filters.
Type of
This is the type of item you are purchasing:
- Sneakers – sneakers. Everything is evident here.
- Shoeboxes – shoe boxes. Users drop these boxes as a result of a mint. Someone opens them, and someone puts them up for sale.
- Rainbow – rainbow sneakers. They are for farming GMT. They are not yet in the game, but the first stage of the introduction of the GMT earning mechanic has already been implemented, so it will not be long to wait.
Next comes sorting by rarity, class, and quality. You can learn more about this from our article “ How to choose STEPN sneakers.”
Level
Here you can filter sneakers by level. For example, you can immediately buy level 30 sneakers for the GMT farm and not download zero ones.
Crossing sneakers
In other words, mint. This number doesn’t apply to you if you don’t plan on cross-breeding. But it should be understood that the higher the mint indicator, the more expensive the sneakers are since the owner needs to recoup the cost of crossing. However, this rule only applies from level 2. But sneakers of the 0th and 1st levels are in high demand among the minters, so the price is also rather significant. The ideal indicator for the average user is 2.
In addition to the filter, there is also a convenient sorting:
- ascending price
- descending price
- by recency of adding to the market
Web Marketplace
This is a website that the STEPN team has explicitly dedicated to the market. For IOS users on the lower operating panel, the supermarket cart button has been replaced by a globe button. The function is a built-in Internet browser. It is enough to find the STEPN marketplace, as in any other search engine, to access the market through the application. We will not dwell on this in detail since the functionality is the same as on the internal marketplace described above.
Let’s take a better look at what a web marketplace looks like from a PC. By the way, you will not be able to get to this market if you do not have an account yet. First, you will have to create it in the application using the activation code, and only in the next step will you be able to get to the STEPN online marketplace by confirming your mail with a verification code. If you wish, you can connect your wallet and buy sneakers. And you can choose from a PC and buy already in the application from your phone if you are afraid to tie your wallet to an additional device once again.
There are no significant differences from the built-in familiar marketplace. The only advantage is the ability to log in from a PC and take a closer look at the NFT before buying. This can be very convenient for those who like to always and everywhere use a laptop. Flippers can also find usefulness in buying sneakers with more or less good flora characteristics and then try to sell more shortly. It is much more convenient to perform such manipulations from a computer.
Third-party marketplaces
Where to buy STEPN if sneakers are primarily NFTs? Of course, on third-party markets. For sneakers from the first world on solan, Magic Eden is perfect.
This site is more convenient because there are more filters for selecting sneakers. For example, you can sort NFTs only to see sneakers with the first power socket. And for analytics fans, there is a corresponding section where you can track transactions and activity in the collection as a whole. It is worth noting that at the time of the release of the material, only 13 transactions had been made in the last 24 hours. There were many more during the peak of STEPN’s popularity in the spring, and now the application is enough for users. Accordingly, if you need a wider choice, it is still better to use the game marketplace itself.
Another advantage of Magic Eden is the ability to track statistics. You can choose the interval you are interested in and see how the floor has changed for STEPN sneakers. The cost and volume of sales in dynamics are clear and important indicators for any asset. It is a pity that the same function is unavailable on the STEPN market; people love statistics, and you must agree.
Crosses to the studio!
So. we figured out where you can buy STEPN NFT sneakers. In the market downturn, when the application is not so popular, the most significant volume of supply is concentrated in the domestic market. But third-party sites also have advantages, which can be decisive for someone. When buying sneakers, we advise you to be guided by a pre-selected game strategy and use only proven sites.
