Over the past weeks, I’ve been helping a friend get started with StepN GO, not just installing the app, but also learning how to walk, run, mint, burn, andoptimize earnings in the smartest way possible. Like many newcomers, he wanted extra motivation to go outside, walk, and run, but he also wanted to make the most of his time in the app.
Instead of rushing in with big investments, we took a step-by-step approach:
- Start with a reasonable sneaker choice
- Slowly build the account by reinvesting earnings
- Work toward hitting the daily earning cap consistently
- Use features like minting and burning to expand naturally
- And above all, enjoy the daily walks and runs without stress
This experience showed me how much confusion new players face. Which sneaker is best to start with? How do you optimize your energy? When does minting make sense? When should I mint or burn?
That’s why I decided to write this detailed StepN GO tutorial for 2025, a player’s perspective on how to start smart, grow your account sustainably, and make the most of your time outdoors.

Why Now Is a Good Entry Point
One of the biggest questions newcomers ask is: “Is it too late to start StepN GO?”
The short answer: no. In fact, right now is one of the best moments we’ve had in months to begin building a StepN GO account. Here’s why:
1. Sneaker Prices Are Lower Than Ever


When StepN GO first launched, sneaker prices were extremely high. Today, prices have cooled, making it much easier for new players to enter.
The best starting point isn’t a Common sneaker but an Uncommon sneaker. Here’s why:
- Daily GGT Cap: Uncommon sneakers allow you to earn up to 155 GGT per day, compared to only 105 GGT per day with a Common.
- Sockets Matter: Look for an Uncommon with 2 efficiency sockets and a solid base stat. This gives a strong balance between affordability and earning potential.
- 3 Sockets = Higher Costs: While 3 efficiency sockets may sound tempting, the price jumps significantly. Not only is the sneaker itself much more expensive, but you’ll also need 3× Level 3 efficiency gems instead of 2, which increases costs further.
In short: 2 efficiency sockets on a good Uncommon sneaker is the sweet spot for beginners right now.
2. Gem Prices Have Dropped Significantly

Another reason this is a good entry moment is the price of efficiency gems.
- Level 3 Efficiency Gem: once around 10,000 GMT, now roughly 300 GMT.
- Level 4 Efficiency Gem: still relatively expensive, but most players don’t need L4 gems when starting out.
This dramatic drop in gem prices lowers the barrier to optimizing your sneaker setup.
3. HAUS Entry Is More Affordable

For those who want to unlock StepN GO’s lending system (HAUS) (see Whitepaper) early, there’s another opportunity:
- Level 20 Common sneakers are now available at very attractive prices.
- This makes it much easier to set up a HAUS contract, rent sneakers to guests, and start sharing earnings.
✅ Between lower sneaker prices, cheap gems, and affordable HAUS setups, this period gives new players a chance to enter StepN GO with far less initial investment than during launch.

Step-by-Step Starting Strategy
Now that we’ve covered why this is a good moment to enter StepN GO, let’s focus on the how.
When I helped my friend get started, we wanted to find a path that was:
- Beginner-friendly (easy to follow, no complicated setups)
- Low-cost (minimize outside investment)
- Sustainable (earnings reinvested back into the account)
What follows is the exact roadmap we used to grow from zero, step by step, while still hitting the daily earning cap as quickly as possible.
Step 1: Start with a Gift Bag
The Gift Bag is the easiest way to begin your StepN GO journey without making a large upfront purchase.


How it works:
- Each Gift Bag gives you a Trial Sneaker with 6 Energy.
- When you spend that Energy, you earn locked GGT.
- If you purchase one Sneaker from the Marketplace before the QR code expires, your locked GGT (or the remaining Energy balance) will be unlocked.
What you receive:
- A Common Trainer Sneaker with 16 Efficiency.
- 6 Energy total, usable over 3 days (2 Energy per day).


Real results (tested):
I personally tested this system and earned about 25 GGT just from using the Gift Bag, enough to fund the next step of your journey.
Step 2: Choose the Right Uncommon Sneaker
Now that your account is active and you’ve earned some GGT from the Gift Bag, it’s time for the most important decision: buying your first Uncommon sneaker.
Why Uncommon Sneakers?
- Higher Cap: Uncommon sneakers allow you to earn up to 155 GGT per day, compared to only 105 GGT with a Common.
- Efficiency Sockets: The sweet spot is 2 efficiency sockets. This setup keeps costs reasonable while still giving you solid earning power.
- 3 Sockets = Higher Cost: While 3 efficiency sockets may look better, the sneaker price is much higher and you’ll need 3× Level 3 gems instead of 2, which increases costs significantly.
Where to Find Them
The fastest way to browse sneakers is here:
👉 StepN GO Marketplace Search
This tool makes it easy to filter by sneaker type, sockets, and level. (I’ll also add some screenshots in this section to show good Uncommon examples.)
What to Look For
When browsing, you’ll usually see three possible categories of Uncommon sneakers:
1. Level 0 Uncommon Sneaker (cheapest)
- Best choice if you want to keep costs low and plan to mint later.
- Level 0 have /7 0 mints so you can use it for future minting.

2. Level 10 Uncommon Sneaker (already minted)
- Slightly more expensive.
- Sometimes useful if you want a “ready-to-mint” sneaker without leveling, but less ideal if you want to mint later.

3. Level 29–30 Uncommon Sneaker
- More expensive because leveling costs are already included.
- Often already minted, so not great if you want to mint yourself.
- Only worth it if you don’t want to wait ~30 days to level a sneaker up.

Recommendation
To minimize costs and maximize long-term flexibility, I recommend going with Option A (Level 0, Uncommon, 2 efficiency sockets, 0 mints if possible).
💡 Pro Tip: Don’t Overpay for 3-Efficiency Sneakers
It might be tempting to go straight for an Uncommon sneaker with 3 efficiency sockets, but keep in mind:
- The purchase price is often much higher.
- You’ll also need 3× Level 3 gems instead of 2, which quickly adds up.
For beginners, a 2-efficiency socket Uncommon is the sweet spot – balancing cost, earnings, and upgrade flexibility. You can always upgrade later once your account is generating stable income.

Step 3: Leveling Up and Using HAUS to Fund It
Your choice in Step 2 directly shapes your path here. Let’s break it down by scenario:
Option A: Level 0 Uncommon Sneaker
- Leveling an Uncommon sneaker from 0 to 30 takes around 19 days 9 hours in theory, but realistically closer to 20+ days.
- During this time, your earnings at low levels will be modest, since efficiency and cap scale with level.

💡 Strategy: While your Uncommon is leveling up, consider joining a HAUS contract as a guest.
- Look for contracts with a 20–30% profit share for guests.
- Use the GGT earned from the contract to cover the GMT + GGT costs of leveling your sneaker.
- This way, your sneaker upgrades cost less out-of-pocket.

Option B: Level 10 Uncommon Sneaker
- Even if you start at Level 10, you’ll still need around 18 days to reach Level 29–30.
- The same HAUS strategy applies: run as a guest to generate extra GGT and offset leveling costs.
Option C: Level 29–30 Uncommon Sneaker
- This option saves time since the sneaker is already maxed for daily cap.
- But it comes at a much higher upfront cost, often close to double compared to a Level 0 sneaker.
- If you choose this, you essentially skip Step 3 and move straight to the next phase of the guide.
✅ For this guide, we’ll continue with Option A (Level 0 Uncommon) since it’s the most cost-efficient way to start from scratch.
📊 Leveling Cost Reference (Uncommon Sneakers)
Here’s a breakdown of the GGT + GMT costs required to level an Uncommon sneaker from 0 to 30.
Milestone Level | Cost (GGT) | Cost (GMT) | Unlocks | Cumulative Cost (GGT+GMT) |
---|---|---|---|---|
L1–4 | Same as level (1–4 GGT) | 0 GMT | – | ~10 GGT |
L5 | 10 GGT + 10 GMT | 10 GMT | Socket 1 (20 GGT) | 30 GGT + 10 GMT |
L6–9 | Same as level (6–9 GGT) | 0 GMT | – | +30 GGT |
L10 | 30 GGT + 30 GMT | 30 GMT | – | 90 GGT + 40 GMT |
L11–14 | Same as level (11–14 GGT) | 0 GMT | – | +50 GGT |
L15 | 15 GGT | 0 GMT | Socket 2 (20 GGT) | 165 GGT + 40 GMT |
L16–19 | Same as level (16–19 GGT) | 0 GMT | – | +70 GGT |
L20 | 60 GGT + 60 GMT | 60 GMT | Socket 3 (20 GGT) | 355 GGT + 100 GMT |
L21–24 | Same as level (21–24 GGT) | 0 GMT | – | +90 GGT |
L25 | 25 GGT | 0 GMT | Socket 4 (20 GGT) | 505 GGT + 100 GMT |
L26–29 | Same as level (26–29 GGT) | 0 GMT | – | +110 GGT |
L30 | 100 GGT + 100 GMT | 100 GMT | – | 680 GGT + 200 GMT |
📌 Boosting Option
- No Boosts → 19 days 8h → 680 GGT + 200 GMT
- Boost Every Level → Instant → 2870 GGT + 200 GMT
👉 You can also use the StepN GO Earnings Calculator to preview how sneaker level affects daily GGT earnings.
Step 4: Burn Sneakers to Gain Energy
Once your Uncommon sneaker reaches Level 29–30, it’s time to make it usable.
To do that, you need to burn additional sneakers to generate Energy.
- Burn 1 Common Sneaker → Gain 90 Energy
- Burn 2 Common Sneakers → Gain 180 Energy
Since your Daily Energy Cap is tied to the total Energy acquired (from burning sneakers), this step is critical.
Why burn 2 sneakers instead of 1?
- Both options unlock a 2 Energy daily cap, so why do we recommend 2 sneakers right away?
- With 180 Energy (2 burns), you’ll not only guarantee 90 days at 2 Energy/day, you’ll also:
- Build up 12 Mint Quota, enough for 3 mints (explained in Step 6).
- Make it much easier to jump from 2 → 3 → 4 daily Energy cap later when you burn the minted-out sneakers (explained in Step 9).
- If you only burn 1 sneaker (90 Energy), you’ll still start earning — but you’ll quickly need a second burn anyway to progress.
👉 In short: burning 2 sneakers at the start sets up your first mint cycle and accelerates long-term growth.

👉 Plan your Energy progression with the StepN GO Energy Calculator.
📖 From the StepN GO Whitepaper
How to obtain Energy?
Users start with zero Energy, and Energy doesn’t automatically renew. However, they can acquire Energy by burning Sneakers. The amount of Energy obtained depends on the quality of the burned Sneakers.
- Burn 1 Common Sneaker → 90 Energy
Energy does NOT expire and can’t be traded. It’s only deducted when the user consumes it.
What is the Daily Energy Cap?
Users start with zero Daily Energy Cap (see whitepaper). The Daily Energy Cap restricts how much Energy can be used in a day. It resets 50% every 12 hours.
👉 Want to calculate your next cap increase? Try the StepN GO Energy Calculator.
Step 5: Understanding Fitness Level
Even after you’ve unlocked Energy and started using your sneaker, your earnings won’t immediately hit the maximum. That’s because every player goes through the Fitness Level system, designed to mimic real-life consistency.
The 14-Day Fitness Journey

- Soft Feet (100% Earnings)
- Where every new (or returning inactive) player begins.
- Requires using at least 2 Energy per day to progress.
- Sore Feet (50–150% Earnings)
- After a few days, earnings temporarily drop as low as 50%, then gradually rise.
- Staying consistent pushes you upward until you reach 150%.
- Strong Feet (150% Earnings)
- Achieved on Day 14 if you’ve used at least 2 Energy/day.
- At this stage, you earn 150% of normal rewards.
- To keep Strong Feet: consume at least 2 Energy once every 5 days. Otherwise, you’ll regress back toward Sore Feet.
Extreme Fitness States

- Paper Feet (-90% Earnings)
- Triggered if you are inactive for 60 consecutive days.
- Earnings drop by 90%, with the lost GGT sent to the Schadenfreude Pool.
- To recover: spend 120 Energy in 30 days to return to Soft Feet.
- While under Paper Feet: you cannot sell or transfer assets.
- Diamond Feet (Permanent 150% Earnings)
- Awarded to ultra-consistent players.
- Requires 1,000 accumulated days at Strong Feet without regression.
- Grants lifetime immunity to Paper, Sore, or Soft Feet.



✅ With Energy unlocked and the Fitness Level system in place, you’re now set up for long-term consistent earnings. The next steps will cover optimizing profits further with minting, gem usage, and reinvesting strategies.
👉 Use the StepN GO Earnings Calculator to estimate how Soft, Sore, or Strong Feet stages impact your daily GGT.
Step 6: Building Mint Quota and Sneaker Minting
As you work through the Fitness Level system and continue spending Energy, you’re not just earning GGT, you’re also building up your Mint Quota.
How Mint Quota Works
- 15 Energy consumed = 1 Mint Quota
- Each mint currently (as of June 25, 2025 update) requires 4 Mint Quota total
- 2 Mint Quota per sneaker (previously only 1 per sneaker → 2 total)
- With the 180 Energy gained from burning two Common sneakers (Step 4), you’ll build up around 12 Mint Quota
- That’s enough for 3 mints in total.
📌 Note on Updates: On June 25, 2025, StepN officially doubled the Mint Quota requirement for Common & Uncommon sneaker minting (from 1 MQ per sneaker → 2 MQ per sneaker).
👉 Why this change?
This adjustment was introduced to slow down sneaker supply and protect the Marketplace floor price. Before the update, accounts could rapidly mint sneakers, flooding the market and pushing prices down. By increasing MQ requirements, StepN aims to keep the economy more balanced and sustainable for both new and existing players.
👉 Source: Official StepN Announcement on X
🔄 Minting Example Flow
Here’s how the numbers work out for beginners:
- Energy burned: 180 Energy (from 2 burned sneakers)
- Mint Quota gained: 180 ÷ 15 = 12 Mint Quota
- Mint requirement: 4 Mint Quota (2 per sneaker)
- Total mints possible: 12 ÷ 4 = 3 mints
👉 With just your initial Energy setup, you’ll already have the capacity for 3 full mints, enough to start multiplying sneakers without needing to burn additional Energy right away.

Update (June 25, 2025): Mint Quota requirements doubled. Each sneaker now needs 2 MQ (4 total per mint). This guide reflects the new system.
What Is Sneaker Minting?
Minting is the process of creating a new sneaker from two existing ones.
Requirements:
- One sneaker must be designated as Left Foot and the other as Right Foot.
- Both sneakers must be at least Level 10.
- Mint Quota must be available (from Energy consumption).
- GGT cost is required (scales with quality and mint count).
Additional Details:
- Minting includes a 48-hour cooldown before the sneakers can mint again.
- Each sneaker can perform up to 7 mints in total.
- The cost in GGT increases with each additional mint.
- The chance of getting an extra Shoe Box also increases with higher mint counts.
- New Shoe Boxes appear directly in your inventory and can be opened immediately.
✅ At this point, your account is not just earning, it’s expanding. Minting lets you multiply sneakers, open new Shoe Boxes, and scale faster if you choose to reinvest earnings.
Step 7: Preparing for Your First Mint
Now let’s assume you’ve reached 150% Strong Feet status, maximizing your GGT earnings, and you’ve been grinding daily to build both GGT and Mint Quota.
At this stage, it’s time to prepare for your first minting cycle, the key to multiplying sneakers without adding outside investment.
Step 7 Plan: Buying & Leveling Mint Sneakers
- Buy 2 Floor Sneakers
- Both should have 0/7 mints available (very important).
- One must be Left Foot, the other Right Foot.
- Level Them to 10
- Minting requires both sneakers to be Level 10 or higher.
- Cost per sneaker (to reach Level 10):
- 80 GGT + 30 GMT
- Total for 2 sneakers:
- 160 GGT + 60 GMT
By preparing these two sneakers, you’ll be fully set to mint your first new Shoe Box and start the compounding growth cycle.



✅ This naturally flows into the actual Minting Execution Step (Step 8), where we’ll explain costs, outputs, and reinvestment.
👉 Want to plan ahead? Use the StepN GO Mint Cost Calculator to see costs before leveling.
Step 8: Executing Your First Mint
So, both sneakers are leveled up to 10? Perfect. Let’s check the two requirements:
- Mint Quota available? You’ll need at least 4 Mint Quota (2 per sneaker).
- GGT/GMT costs? Make sure you’ve saved enough from your daily runs.
The First Mint Cycle
With two sneakers (0/7 mints) at Level 10 and at least 4 Mint Quota, you’re ready to mint.

- Recommended Strategy: Mint them 3 times while you have enough Mint Quota.
- 👉 *Before minting, double-check exact costs with the StepN GO Mint Cost Calculator.
- From the initial 180 Energy burned, you’ll have 12 Mint Quota.
- That equals exactly 3 mints.
- Result: You’ll receive 3 new sneakers (Shoe Boxes).

Next Steps After Minting
- Level Up the New Sneakers: Every freshly minted sneaker should also be leveled to 10.
- This ensures they’re ready for future mints as your Mint Quota regenerates.
- It keeps the cycle flowing — every sneaker in your inventory should either be earning, leveling, or preparing to mint.

💡 Pro Tip: Treat this as your daily routine. Even if you’re not minting every day, you should always be leveling sneakers so you’re never waiting when Mint Quota becomes available again.
✅ By now, you’ve gone from a Gift Bag trial to a leveled Uncommon sneaker, unlocked Energy, reached Strong Feet, and minted your first new sneakers. The foundation for self-sustaining growth is complete.
Step 9: Burn Again and Unlock Higher Daily Energy Cap
After completing your 3 mints, your original two sneakers now sit at 3/7 mints. These are no longer optimal for future minting cycles, so the next step is to burn these two sneakers to generate more Energy.
Why Burn the Minted-Out Sneakers?
- Burning these 2 sneakers gives you another 180 Energy, fueling more GGT earnings.
- Your Daily Energy Cap increases to 3 (from 2).
- This also clears space in your inventory to focus on leveling the newly minted sneakers for the next cycle.

The Benefits of Moving to 3 Energy/Day
- More Daily Earnings
- With 3 Energy per day, you’ll earn more GGT consistently.
- Faster Mint Quota Generation
- Remember: 15 Energy = 1 Mint Quota.
- At 2 Energy/day, it took 90 days to burn 180 Energy.
- At 3 Energy/day, it now takes only 60 days.
- This means you’ll be ready for new mints much faster.
📖 From the Whitepaper: Energy Cap Progression
Total Energy Acquired | Daily Energy Cap |
---|---|
90 | 0 → 2 |
270 | 2 → 3 |
450 | 3 → 4 |
720 | 4 → 5 |
990 | 5 → 6 |
1,260 | 6 → 7 |
1,620 | 7 → 8 |
1,980 | 8 → 9 |
2,340 | 9 → 10 |
… | … (max 30/30) |

✅ By minting → burning the old sneakers → raising your cap, you accelerate growth while keeping your fresh sneakers ready for the next mint cycle. This compounding effect is how StepN GO accounts gradually scale into serious earning machines.
Step 10: The Growth Loop
By this point, you’ve learned and applied all the fundamentals of building a StepN GO account from scratch. From here, it’s all about repeating the core cycle to keep scaling.
👉 Here’s how it looks in practice — a real in-app history of sneakers being burned and Energy cap increases:

Your Daily & Long-Term Routine
A) Burn Daily Energy
- Earn GGT every day.
- Accumulate Mint Quota (15 Energy = 1 Mint Quota).
B) Level Up Sneakers
- Always have sneakers progressing toward Level 10 so they’re ready for minting.
- This ensures you’re never stuck waiting when Mint Quota becomes available.
C) Burn Sneakers at 2/7 – 3/7 Mints
- Once sneakers reach 2/7 or 3/7 mints, they’re no longer optimal for minting.
- Burn them to gain Energy and raise your Daily Energy Cap.
D) Repeat the Cycle
- Fresh sneakers → Level 10 → Mint → Parents burned → Higher Energy cap → More GGT + faster Mint Quota → Repeat.
✅ This is the self-sustaining growth loop of StepN GO. By staying consistent with your daily Energy burn, leveling, minting, and sneaker recycling, your account can grow steadily without needing more outside investment.
📊 To visualize this cycle, here’s the growth loop infographic:

👉 Track all your token values in real time with the StepN Token Converter.
Step 11 (Extra): What About the Third Sneaker?
After your first 3 mints, you’ll notice something: to continue minting, you only need 2 sneakers, so what should you do with the third one?

Can You Sell It?
- Yes, of course you can sell the extra sneaker on the marketplace.
- But at this early stage, I don’t recommend selling just yet.
Why Keep It?
- Account size matters: In the beginning, your account has very few sneakers. Selling too soon can limit your options.
- Bad luck with sides: Sometimes all freshly minted sneakers turn out to be the same side (all Left or all Right).
- This happened to me a few times, and it creates problems for future mints.
- You’d then be forced to sell one and buy the opposite side, losing extra GMT on marketplace fees.
- Worse, one side is often more expensive than the other, meaning you’ll pay more just to fix the imbalance.


Best Practice
Keep your extra sneakers until your account is larger and more stable. Once you have more sneakers and enough flexibility, you can decide to sell surplus pairs, but early on, holding them is safer and cheaper.
✅ Think of this step as account insurance: the third sneaker protects you from bad luck and unnecessary costs. As you grow, you’ll find your own rhythm in when to sell, mint, or burn. Track floor prices and sneaker types easily using the StepN GO Sneaker Floor Price Tracker.
Step 12 (Extra 2): Boost Growth with a HAUS Contract
One of the most effective ways to accelerate your account growth is to set up a HAUS contract as soon as possible.

Why HAUS Helps
- Guests who run on your sneakers also consume Energy.
- That Energy contributes directly to your Mint Quota, making it build up much faster.
- HAUS also brings extra GGT income every day:
- A 4 daily Energy contract earns ~30 GGT/day.
- A 3 daily Energy contract earns ~22.5 GGT/day.
The earlier you set up HAUS, the sooner your account starts scaling with both more GGT and more Mint Quota.

HAUS Contract Setups
- Fastest Way – 2 weeks / 4 daily Energy
- Result: ~3.7 Mint Quota
- Downside: ~0.7 Mint Quota wasted
- Extra: ~30 GGT per day
- Optimized Way – 3 weeks / 3 daily Energy
- Result: ~4.2 Mint Quota
- Downside: only ~0.2 Mint Quota wasted
- Extra: ~22.5 GGT per day
- 🔑 This method is more efficient long-term and can give you 1 extra mint per month compared to the fast way.
What Sneaker to Use for HAUS?
- Ideally: a Level 19–20 sneaker, since higher levels maximize profit sharing.
- Best approach: buy one directly from the marketplace at Level 19–20.
- This skips the long leveling grind.
- You can continue leveling your freshly minted sneakers to prepare them for minting instead.
HAUS Rules in Practice (from Whitepaper)
- Guest Sneakers: Guests can only receive Common sneakers.
- Retrieval: At the end of the contract, your sneaker always comes back.
- Host Energy Rule: The Host must use 2 Energy/day to collect HAUS earnings. If not, all earnings go to the Schadenfreude Pool.
- Daily Cap Rule: Guest earnings do not count toward your Daily Cap. They’re extra.
- Duration: Contracts can be 2, 3, or 4 weeks.
- Termination: Hosts can cancel if a Guest is inactive.
- Capacity: Each HAUS supports up to 5 Guests.
Gift Bag System (Optional, but powerful)
- Spend 60 or 600 Energy → create Gift Bags (6 Energy each) for 10 or 100 recipients.
- Recipients get a temporary Trial Sneaker + 6 Energy.
- If they buy a sneaker, you earn 6% of their first purchase + 2% of all future trades (in GMT).
- If they don’t buy, you still keep the 2% fee link forever once they reactivate later.
- 👉 Claim your Gift Bag here: StepN GO Gift Bag Code.
✅ With a well-structured HAUS contract, you generate guest profit + daily GGT + accelerated Mint Quota growth. Combined with Gift Bags, HAUS can turn into a powerful compounding engine for your account.

📝 Text Walkthrough for HAUS Setup
1. Unlocking HAUS
Before you can become a Host, you must complete two requirements:
- Spend 10 Energy total.
- Recycle 2 Sneakers.
Once complete, the “Open HAUS” button becomes available.


2. Reviewing HAUS Rules
It’s critical to check the in-app HAUS rules before starting:
- Guests can only use Common Sneakers.
- Host must spend 2 Energy/day to collect earnings.
- Mint Quota builds from all Energy spent in HAUS.
- Each HAUS can have up to 5 guests.


3. Entering the Dashboard
The HAUS Dashboard is your control center:
- View contracts.
- Create new ones.
- Claim guest earnings.

4. Sneaker Lending Intro
When you begin creating a contract, the app introduces Sneaker Lending.
Guests run on your sneakers and spend your allocated Energy, while both sides earn GGT.

5. Selecting a Sneaker
Choose which sneaker to lend.
- Ideally: Level 19–20 for maximum profit sharing.

6. Setting Profit Share
Next, set how GGT earnings will be split:
- Host typically keeps 70–80%.
- Guest receives 20–30% as motivation.

Update Notice (June 25, 2025)
On June 25, 2025, StepN introduced two key changes to HAUS contracts:
- No more 100-0% or 90-10% splits
- These extreme profit shares were temporarily disabled to make earnings fairer for both Hosts and Guests.
- Now you’ll need to choose a more balanced split (e.g., 70-30% or 80-20%).
- Why this matters
- This ensures Guests are always motivated to participate.
- It also makes the overall HAUS system healthier and prevents abuse.
👉 Source: Official StepN Announcement on X
7. Choosing Daily Energy
Finally, set how much Energy the Guest will consume daily:
- Options range from 2 to 4 Energy, depending on your Daily Cap.

✅ With these steps complete, your HAUS contract goes live. Guests contribute Mint Quota + extra GGT daily, while you build toward faster growth and higher earnings.
Conclusion: Growing Your StepN GO Account the Smart Way
Starting StepN GO can feel overwhelming at first — sneakers, gems, HAUS, mint quota, Energy caps… there’s a lot to learn.
But by following this 12-step roadmap, you can:
- Begin with minimal investment,
- Progress step by step (Gift Bag → Uncommon → Mint → Burn → HAUS),
- Reinvest earnings into your own growth,
- And build an account that sustains itself over time.
The beauty of this method is that it’s scalable. Every cycle you complete, minting, burning, raising your cap, sets you up for faster and bigger growth in the next round.
⚠️ Final Disclaimer (NFA)
This guide reflects my own player experience with StepN GO. It is written for educational and community purposes only and is not financial advice (NFA).
The StepN GO economy (sneaker prices, gem costs, token values) can change quickly. Always do your own research and make decisions that fit your risk tolerance.
Why I Wrote This
- To help newcomers who don’t know where to start.
- To share a clear roadmap for building from scratch.
- To be fully transparent: yes, I’ll share my gift bag codes (referrals), but I’ll also give back with free StepNTracker PRO accounts for readers who join using my code.
- Because I’m a player first, this isn’t hype or promotion, just what’s worked for me and my friends.
