2. The Alpha

2022 Recap event: We know many of you have lamented that you would like more statistics on your account. Stay tuned! Very soon, you will be receiving an email with 8 major stats of your STEPN journey.

10 random winners who share their recap on Twitter stand to walk away with 2023 $GMT each!

Out of this 10, 1 lucky winner stands to win a 3-month Personal Training Session (with Jesse)!

Badges, achievements/quests, leaderboard: The next item on our roadmap, intending to finalise soon. More details to come!

Special Sneakers: While we are working on benefits for the STEPN community at large, we are going to be introducing occasional additional benefits for Genesis, OG and special skin shoes in the future. So if you haven’t already, be sure to pick one up!

STEPN Partnerships: We are working on a couple more partnerships. Hoping to announce one in the coming weeks.

3. STEPN Roadmap

We have been planning out the next phase of our roadmap for some time. It will come out shortly.

The roadmap will be distinctly separated between STEPN and MOOAR.

4. Rainbow Sneakers

We stand by our initial decision — Rainbow+ sneakers will not be released any earlier than 2nd February 2023

Will monitor to ensure the eventual rollout is done under ideal circumstances.

5. Gems

We will be exploring additional utility for gems. More information will be released when we’re closer to launch.

6. STEPN Marketplace

We have been listening intently to the community on optimising the marketplace interface, such as making the font easier to read and being able to access it without having to login (for IOS devices). These will be rolled out soon.

A lot of the suggestions by the community have been extremely valid, and we will be including many of these ideas in our development pipeline.

If you have further feedback, do not hesitate to add it into the feedback form here.

7. Treadmill Mode

Unfortunately, we do not have any plans to include a treadmill mode in the near future. Please stay safe — if the weather is bad, take the necessary precautions if you insist on going out!

8. Valentine’s Event

For the upcoming Valentine’s day, we have in store a fun and interactive event for all our users.

Hint — It will involve moving around and a bit of creativity :)

9. MOOAR Season 2

We are already in the midst of finalising partnership with our Season 1 winner HypeSaints.

In the meantime, Season 2 is open for submissions! Refer to this tweet for some changes for Season 2. We are also running a creator bootcamp for those interested.

🏆Community Question Winner

Winner is Kazuki. He raised a very valid point that we should include an option to lock your main shoe so you do not accidentally sell it. We have noted this feedback and will implement it into the app in the near future.

Miscellaneous: Xmas + New Year Event Merch 🎄

Our logistic partners have been working overtime to fulfill the shipments, but with Lunar New Year coming up, there may be some delays.

Winners may expect to receive their prizes as early as 5 days, and as long 21 days later. We apologise for the delay!

Conclusion

A huge shoutout to our amazing community for being here with us to kickstart the new year. We are excited to build out our app together with each and every one of you!

To better a better year ahead!
