Deep Dive
1. Move-to-Earn Mechanics
GMT is central to STEPN, a Web3 app where users earn crypto by walking, jogging, or running outdoors using NFT sneakers. The “Energy” system ties earnings to movement duration and intensity, creating a circular economy where GMT is burned for sneaker upgrades and minting new NFTs.
2. Multi-Chain Payment Gateway
GMT Pay (FSL Ecosystem) lets users convert crypto (including GMT) into spendable digital Mastercards. Recent upgrades added support for Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon, enabling cross-chain payments and perks like 30% fee discounts for Genesis Sneaker NFT holders.
3. Deflationary Tokenomics
With 6 billion GMT max supply, 30% is allocated to Move-to-Earn incentives and 30% to ecosystem development. Burns occur via sneaker repairs, gem upgrades, and GMT Pay card fees, gradually reducing circulating supply.
Conclusion
GMT bridges fitness, DeFi, and real-world spending through its dual role as a Move-to-Earn reward and Web3 payment rail. How might expanding partnerships with traditional fitness brands amplify GMT’s real-world utility?
