STEPNEMBER 4 Highlights 🎂
A month-long birthday event for four years of STEPN and one year of STEPN GO.
🔹 12 storytelling Sneaker Skins.
🔹 Mechanics mixed it up: minting, Energy spend, enhancements, upgrades.
🔹 Collect six skins in one app to enter Genesis Sneaker raffles.
🔹 Over 50,000 participants
🔹 Seed Phrase Hunt: two secret wallets with clues scattered everywhere.
🔹 Two players cracked it: each prize maxed at 7,000 USD.
🔹 Big takeaway: massive participation, tons of collaboration, and a reminder of how crafty this community is.
#STEPNEMBER4 showed that even after four years, we can still surprise ourselves, and the community still loves a good mystery.
Marathon Challenge (New Long-Term Feature) 🎖️
Not an event, but an ongoing feature for STEPN and STEPN GO that rewards consistency:
🔹 Enter through the STEPN GO main menu icon or the STEPN pop up
🔹 Lock 50 GGUSD to enter a round; for 14 consecutive days, burn 2 Energy per day in STEPN or STEPN GO
🔹 Nail all 14 days and you receive your 50 GGUSD back plus APY from the pool of players who missed a day.
🔹 Miss once and you’re out of that round, with your GGUSD flowing into the prize pool for finishers.
🔹 Season format: 12 weeks total, structured as six two-week rounds; the first week is registration, then your active days begin.
🔹 Key dates for Season 1: registration is open now and closes October 26 at 11:59 PM UTC; Round 1 starts October 27.
🔹 Auto-Join option: keep your 50 GGUSD locked to roll into the next round automatically, or unlock to take a break.
🔹 Round rewards include a share of the pool plus Marathon Boxes (badges, backgrounds, chances at Sneakers).
The Marathon Challenge is a real habit builder. Two Energy a day, every day, and consistency pays off.
Season Pass + STEPNathon 🏆
Turn your training into a grand finale!
🔹 Season Pass: optional 20 GGUSD upgrade for the full 12-week season.
🔹 Unlocks a premium reward track with extra Marathon Boxes, exclusive badges/backgrounds, Starlets, GGUSD coupons, and raffle mints for Marathon Sneakers (including Genesis).
🔹 It doesn’t reduce the difficulty: you still have to finish.
🔹 STEPNathon: the capstone week, January 19–25.
🔹 Choose one: 21 km Half Marathon or 42 km Full Marathon.
🔹 Complete your distance in one go, in either STEPN or STEPN GO.
🔹 Season Pass required to qualify.
🔹 Finishers earn: the Season 1 LEGEND badge, an exclusive background, and entry to a Genesis Sneaker raffle with special edition skins.
The Marathon Challenge builds your streak, and the STEPNathon lets you prove it. Finish strong and earn your legend! More details tomorrow 👀
New Badges: Daily Dynamo 🛡️
A fresh STEPN badge set that spotlights your long-term activity.
🔹 Based on total active days (non-consecutive).
🔹 Retroactive: if you’ve already been active, claim right away in-app.
🔹 Clean, visible recognition of daily effort, with more badge drops to come.
A little motivation, a little bragging right, and a lot of well-earned recognition. Show us yours!
STEPN GO Next feature 🎮
🔹 The next feature will be a social one
🔹 The team is currently testing, improving and building on top of the original idea
We’ll wait until the feature is fully ready before sharing more!
TRICK OR TREAT Halloween Event 🎃
Seasonal fun with extra pumpkin flavor:
🔹 Ecosystem-wide FSL event: TRICK OR TREAT runs until October 24.
🔹 Earn Haunted GGBoxes by: burning Energy in STEPN or STEPN GO, buying GMT Pay Cards, holding GGUSD during the event, leveling in 2184, joining MOOAR auctions as a MOOAR+ member, and solving the Game Hub word hunt (Oct 18–23)
🔹 Boxes are tradable pre-reveal; open after the event with a Haunted Key.
🔹 Possible rewards: Genesis STEPN Sneakers, GMT Pay Cards, GGUSD, FSL merch coupons, special-skin Sneakers, and more.
🔹 Alpha: The first-ever STEPN Halloween in-app event with a partner is coming soon (funniest designs we ever done 👀)

A Word on what’s happening at FSL 🫶
🔹 Despite the current market conditions, we're still fully committed to building and staying sustainable.
GMT Pay Mid-Autumn Campaign 💰
A light, fast way to spend your cryptos in the real world, now with extra treats.
🔹 During the Mid-Autumn campaign, each card purchase granted GMT Pay Boxes with surprise rewards, from boost coupons to Mooncake Sneakers to an iPhone 17 equivalent in GGUSD.
🔹 Due to demand, the campaign was extended two more weeks.
🔹 You can pay with GGUSD, GMT, or other tokens: email only, smooth and simple.

Community Q&A 🙋
Q: Will GGUSD be used within STEPN in the future?
A: It is our ultimate goal, but to update it, it will take some additional time, bear with us!
Q: What’s coming up next in STEPN GO? Charm? Genesis Enhancement?
A: A social feature, we are working on it.
Q: I would like to know when Legendary Sneakers will be implemented on STEPN.
A: It is already in our pipeline.
Q: When next collab?
A: The next one is for Halloween, and yes, there are more planned in November.
Q: Are there any plans to introduce the GMT chain in the future?
A: We thought about it, but it's not our priority at the moment.
That’s October in a tidy thread. Consistency gets rewarded, Halloween gets spicy, and the finish line we’re all eyeing is January’s STEPNathon.
Onward to November!!
