Stepn, a major move-to-win game based on the Solana blockchain, has gone social with a new app and token after launching nearly three years ago.
FSL – the games and development studio behind Stepn – announced on May 23 the launch of Stepn Go, a new social lifestyle app that rewards daily movement and social interactions.
With Stepn Go, users can now share their digital sneakers with new friends and family on the app and share in the profits.
The app also enables key social features such as adding friends, messaging, avatars and more gaming options, allowing players to earn GMT rewards.
To enable this new experience, the new game Stepn Go introduces a new token, the Go Gaming Token (GGT). Similar to Stepn’s utility token, the Green Satoshi Token (GST), the new GGT token can be earned by walking, jogging, and running in digital sneakers.
The original Stepn app launched in 2021 and is one of the world’s largest “movement for profit” games and a pioneer of Web3 fitness apps.
The game operates on a dual token system, where GST is a utility token with an unlimited supply. The other token is the Green Metaverse Token (GMT), or Stepn’s governance token.

According to Yawn Rong, co-founder of FSL, the Stepn community has been asking for in-app social features since the app’s early days.
“We are therefore very excited to unveil these new features, which will propel Stepn Go towards mainstream adoption. “In addition to the House mechanic and interactive map, we will implement player versus player elements in the app,” Rong said.
After experiencing a notable decline in 2022 and 2023, the GameFi (a combination of the terms gaming and decentralized finance, or DeFi) industry has experienced something of a renaissance amid rising cryptocurrency prices. The number of daily active wallets on GameFi has doubled over the past year.
StepN has also been more active recently, partnering with German sportswear maker Adidas for 1,000 Genesis Edition non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on Solana in April. Previously, StepN also announced the distribution of 100 million FSL points, worth around $30 million, to reward its key players.
