I bought 20 pairs of shoes that I’m starting to rent out for free to other application users
I get 50% of the rewards from the shoes meaning passively per day i can earn $250 from 20 people running and walking 5km!
Been using @Stepnofficial since December last year and this has been the first time I’ve been able to get to level 30. So pumped! #Stepn #MoveToEarn #level30 pic.twitter.com/W9NGlZgZ8a

STEPN’s profits come in the form of royalty fees earned from the sale of its NFT sneakers. In the first quarter, the project reported a profit of $26.8 million worth of SOL.
STEPN uses these profits to buy back GMT trading on secondary markets and remove them from circulation in the form of on-chain token burns.
The project said that these token burns will be carried out “in order to create more value for the STEPN ecosystem.”
