To address this, the minting rules were relaxed, enabling minting flexibility. Now, with the ecosystem growing stronger, it\u2019s time to restore the original <strong>Left + Right rule<\/strong> to keep things balanced and exciting. \ud83c\udf89<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%9A%80_Whats_Next\"><\/span><strong>\ud83d\ude80 What\u2019s Next?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we embrace this update, the STEPN GO team remains committed to fostering a vibrant and fair ecosystem.
