FSL Takes a Bold Step with STEPN GO, Introducing Social Features and New Gaming Token In a significant move for the web3 lifestyle space, FSL, the innovative gaming and development studio renowned for its 'Move and Earn' platform STEPN, has launched a groundbreaking new product: STEPN GO. This social lifestyle app promises to reward users for daily physical activities and social interactions, marking a transformative moment for the company and its community. A New Chapter with STEPN GO Today marks a pivotal milestone as FSL reveals the STEPN GO Whitepaper and Tokenomic model. STEPN GO introduces the GO Gaming Token (GGT), a new token that users can earn by engaging in activities such as walking, jogging, and running with digital NFT Sneakers. Additionally, a PvP game feature will allow users to earn GMT, the FSL Ecosystem token. Yawn Rong, Co-Founder of FSL, expressed enthusiasm about the new launch: “The STEPN community has been requesting social features within the app since the early days of STEPN. Therefore, we’re so excited to reveal these new features, which will propel STEPN GO into mainstream adoption. In addition to the Haus Mechanism and Interactive Map, we will also implement PvP elements within the app. Community is at the heart of everything we do at FSL, and we are ecstatic to announce this monumental milestone today, reinforcing our commitment to empowering and engaging our users.” Building on Past Success Launched in 2021, the original STEPN app revolutionized the 'Move and Earn' landscape, becoming a leading gamified web3 fitness application. With over 5.6 million registered users and over 1 million Sneaker NFTs in circulation, STEPN has built a thriving global community. The app has formed partnerships with major brands such as ASICS, Steve Aoki, and Adidas, and was the first blockchain gaming app to integrate Apple Pay, enhancing its appeal to web2 users. Innovative Social Features Capitalizing on the success of its predecessor, STEPN GO introduces several unique social elements designed to enhance user experience. The ‘Haus System’ is a novel lending feature allowing users to share their Sneaker NFTs with friends and family who are new to the app, splitting the earnings to facilitate easy onboarding. Another standout feature is the ‘Interactive Map’, enabling users to view other players' avatars, add friends, and drop messages for others to find during their runs. Jerry Huang, Co-Founder of FSL, elaborated on the vision behind STEPN GO: “With STEPN GO, anyone can onboard their friends and family to web3 without needing to create a wallet or even buy NFTs. Exercise will be more fun and rewarding. We will combine fitness with many enjoyable experiences, including having your customizable avatars with unique outfits!” Looking Ahead The Alpha Version of STEPN GO is slated for release by Q3 2024, accompanied by a Sneaker NFT Alpha Prize Draw running for one month. During this period, 3,000 Sneaker NFTs will be distributed to users who lock GMT, with access restricted to FSL ID users to reward the most loyal community members. An additional 2,000 Sneakers will be given away through the STEPN X account and STEPN GO Discord, offering eager participants a chance to win and gain early access.

The future of social-lifestyle apps is here, and FSL is leading the charge with innovation and community-centric features.
