STEPN has scheduled a four hours maintenance from 5 AM UTC on 15th July 2022. New updates are expected post the maintenance period which were shared by STEPN Team on 13th July 2022 in their Twitter page. In this article, I will quickly summarise the STEPN update expected tomorrow.
STEPN Update Expected on 15th July 2022
Introduction of Health Points
New attribute “Health Points (HP)” will be introduced which will work in parallel to “Comfort” attribute.
What is Health Point (HP) in STEPN?
STEPN is adopting a dual-decay system which means along with Durability (100/100), Health Point (100%) will also drop with the use of sneakers. This will need to be repaired or refilled to keep going.
Health Point (HP) attribute will be displayed in the form of a capsule in the sneakers background.
How does Health Point (HP) work in STEPN?
Along with Durability, Health Point will also decay while moving and the degree of decay depends on the following factors:-
- Amount of energy used
- Quality of the sneaker
- Comfort Stat of sneaker – Higher the stat, lower will be the decay of HP
To refill the HP back to 100%, user will require to burn a mix of GST, GMT and Comfort Gems.
Important Pointers to Note:-
Post the update all the sneakers will start with 100% Health Point however it will start decaying with the use of sneaker.
- Health Point < 20% – Sneaker will not be counted to provide energy
- Health Point = 0% – Sneaker can’t be used for movement
- Health Point (HP) should be 100% to list your sneaker in marketplace
- Quality sneakers will decay a lot slower than poor quality sneakers
- Post minting, HP won’t decay for first 48 hours
- Higher the sneaker level, higher will be the restoration cost
Sneaker Enhancement
There is a restriction being added to the sneaker enhancement feature. Sneakers with mint count 3 or above can only be used in sneaker enhancement.
This restriction forces users to mint more sneakers and at the same time encourages users to burn them for uncommon or rare sneakers.
Update in Mystery Box
Currently users are dropped with Level 1 and Level 2 mystery boxes, it seems the team is coming up with more surprises in STEPN Mystery Box drops.
This also means that the Mystery Box opening cost will increase.
Realm 3 Changes
There are some temporary adjustments made to kickstart things in Realm 3:-
- Mint cool down would be 48 hrs
- Mint cost to be 90 GST + 10 GMT and it differs with level of sneakers
- Can expect a change in minting cost
These are some of the features expected to be released tomorrow and I am super excited to see how Health Point (HP) works. Also, am eager to see the surprises in STEPN Mystery Box drops. We only have few hours before the STEPN update and it’s time for me to take a walk and earn some GST. Stay tuned for more STEPN updates!
