4 Key differences between Stepn GO and Stepn OG

StepnGO is a web3 mobile application that allows you to earn by walking, running or yogging. It is successor to popular Stepn application developed by FSL (Find Satoshi Lab). What are main differences between Stepn GO and Stepn?

burning sneakers in StepnGO vs unlimited energy in Stepn OG

In stepn go users need to burn sneakers to obtain energy needed for walking. When you start walking with app you must purchase 2 sneakers, one to walk, and the other to burn. Once you burn one sneaker, you gain 90 units of energy. With initial energy cap of 2 units per day, it will mean that you will need 45 day to burn all your energy obtained from burning first sneaker. After your energy is depleted you must purchase or mint another sneaker to burn to get 90 units of energy again.

This makes the stepn go very different from stepn, where you don’t need to destroy your sneakers to keep walking. in StepnGO your actual profit is not just a simple revenue you get from walking. You need to deduct the cost of your burned sneaker from your revenue to obtain exact profit. To calculate exact profit you can use stepngo.site profit calculator.

different daily energy cap system

In StepnGO the daily amount of energy available for earning changes as you burn sneakers. One energy means 5 minutes of activity. All users start with 2 units of energy per day, which means they can earn GGT for 10 minutes per day, after 10 minutes earning stops and GGT is not generated for the user. When you burn 3 sneakers the cap increases to 3. When you burn 5 it increases to 4 This energy system is described in Stepn GO whitepaper. At the end of the cycle after burning 653 sneakers you’ll get daily limit of 30 energies per day, so you can earn for 150 minutes, 2.5 hour per day, which could (in theory, without other limits) mean earning around 360 GGT per day (with current exchange rate for GGT/USD around 100$).

option to rent sneakers

In stepn go you can earn without having your own sneakers by renting sneakers from other user. This functionality is part of ‘haus’ system. Users who burn 2 sneakers can package their energy and rent one of sneakers they own to someone else. Users who is renting sneakers to someone else is getting some reward for it, while user renting sneakers from other can earn GGT without actually burning energy and purchasing sneakers and both buying and burning requires you to pay money for it. If you want to rent sneaker from someone on StepnGO you need to check official stepngo discord or social media, search for #stepngo tag on x or other websites.

different fitness system

In StepnGO earning potential of your sneakers depends not just on their qualities, but also on the fitness system. Initially users start with 100% fitness, but they then go over phase of fitness regression, which means they earn less for 14 days. After 14 days of continous walking users reach ‘strong feet’ status where
they earn 150% of their sneakers earning potential.
