STEPN is a Web3 lifestyle software featuring aspects of Social-Fi and Game-Fi. Users with NFT Sneakers can earn GST by walking, jogging, or running outside, which can be used to level up and mint new Sneakers.
On the in-app Marketplace, players can lease or sell their NFT Sneakers, and their GST revenues are saved in the in-app Wallet, which features a built-in Swap function.
By increasing your game level, you can earn more in the STEPN app. GST will be burned every time you increase your level.
In this article, we’ll go over STEPN Levels, what occurs when you level up in the game, and how much it costs to level up. and how you may improve your performance.
STEPN Level
By burning GST, users can level up their Sneakers. Each level-up requires a set length of time to complete, which rises in tandem with the amount of GST necessary as the Sneaker level rises.
By utilising even more GST, this process can be sped up even more.
GMT will also be necessary to level a Sneaker up to Level 29 and 30.
Users will receive 4–12 additional Attribute points when they level up, which they can assign to their Sneaker quality.
| Quality | Attribute Point/Level up |
| Common | 4 |
| Uncommon | 6 |
| Rare | 8 |
| Epic | 10 |
| Legendary | 12 |
Additional perks will be unlocked upon reaching certain level milestones:
| Milestone | Triggered Event |
| Level 5 | Unlocks Socket 1 |
| Level 5 | Unlocks Shoe-minting |
| Level 10 | Unlocks Sneaker Lease function |
| Level 10 | Unlocks Socket 2 |
| Level 15 | Unlocks Socket 3 |
| Level 20 | Unlocks Socket 4 |
| Level 30 | Unlocks GMT earning |
The user must select between earning GST or GMT at the highest level. Switching between GST and GMT earnings is possible, but there will be a cooling-off period.
At Level 30, users can customise their Sneakers by burning GST/GMT/NFT, which can include things like changing the name, adding a quote, and adding extra Attribute points, among other things.

What Happens When You Up the Level of Sneakers?
When you increase your Sneakers level, the GST upper limit increases, allowing you to make more per day. Additionally, when you reach level 30, you will receive GMT.
How to Up the Level of Sneakers in STEPN?
Steps to Up the Level of Sneakers in STEPN:
Step 1: Open the STEPN app and select the Sneaker you want to level up.
Step 2: Go to the bottom left side of the screen and select “Level Up.”
Step 3: After selecting level up, a popup window will appear, displaying the levering time and cost. Now. To confirm, press the confirm button. The level of your Sneaker will be raised.
Keep in mind that as you progress in level, the cost of repairs will rise as well.
STEPN Gem Types and Level
Users can unlock Gem Sockets once their Sneakers reach a specific level, and then use the associated Gems to improve their Sneaker Attributes by putting them into the unlocked Sockets (i.e. only Efficiency Gems can be placed into Efficiency Sockets). There are four different varieties of Gems, each of which represents a different Attribute:
Yellow: Efficiency
Blue: Luck
Red: Comfort
Purple: Resilience
Users can improve their Gems by burning GST and merging three Gems of the same level and kind to a higher level by going to the Upgrade tab under the Gems section (i.e three Level-1 Efficiency Gems to one Level-2 Efficiency Gem).
From Level 4 onwards, GMT will be required to enhance a Gem
Note: Low level Gems Upgrade has a chance to fail.
| Gem Level | Name | Number of Gems to Upgrade to Next Level | Attribute | Awakening Effect | Cost | Success Rate |
| 1 | Chipped | 3 | Find out in-app | NA | GST | 35% |
| 2 | Flawed | 3 | Find out in-app | +% to Base Attribute | GST | 55% |
| 3 | Regular | 3 | Find out in-app | +% to Base Attribute | GST | 65% |
| 4 | Glossy | 3 | Find out in-app | +% to Base Attribute | GST+GMT | 75% |
| 5 | Flawless | 3 | Find out in-app | +% to Base Attribute | GST+GMT | 100% |
| 6 | Radiant | 3 | Find out in-app | +% to Base Attribute | GST+GMT | 100% |
| 7 | Luminous | 3 | Find out in-app | +% to Base Attribute | GST+GMT | 100% |
| 8 | Immaculate | 3 | Find out in-app | +% to Base Attribute | GST+GMT | 100% |
| 9 | Enchanted | NA | Find out in-app | +% to Base Attribute | NA | NA |
Warning: From Level 1 to 5, there is a chance that a percentage of Gem upgrades will fail; if this happens, users will lose their Gems.
Awakening Effect: Gem increases the Sneaker’s Base Attribute. i.e., a Level 2 Efficiency Gem will increase the Base Efficiency of a Level 0 Sneaker by 5 (Sneaker Attribute) + 5 x 40% (Gem Awakening Effect to Sneaker Attribute) + 8 (Gem Attribute) = 15.
