Move-and-earn lifestyle and gaming app STEPN, a leading player in the web3 sector, has kicked off a massive airdrop campaign. The event distributes 100 million FSL points, exchangeable 1:1 for its native $GMT tokens — roughly $30 million worth. The timing lines up with an upcoming global partnership announcement, signaling STEPN's push to dominate the move-and-earn gaming space.
This article covers the STEPN airdrop campaign and Gas Hero, the web3 game from Find Satoshi Lab. We'll also look at the project's recent performance, which hit $90 million in NFT trading during its first month.
$30 million airdrop campaign
Move-and-earn app STEPN launched an airdrop campaign distributing 100 million FSL points, redeemable 1:1 for $GMT tokens — about $30 million total. The Solana-based NFT project ran the airdrop in two phases, starting Friday, April 5th and wrapping Wednesday, April 10th.
- Phase 1 (April 5-10): STEPN badge holders earn FSL points through in-app achievements
- Phase 2 (April 9-10): Genesis Sneakers holders qualify, with the most active users getting higher rewards
FSL points vs $GMT tokens
FSL Points from this campaign let users enter upcoming STEPN mints and compete for exclusive prizes. Users can swap FSL Points for $GMT through the STEPN marketplace at a 1:1 rate.
Shiti Maghani, CEO at STEPN by FSL, says: "We have decided to launch this huge airdrop campaign as a token of gratitude to our most loyal community members, providing them with priority access to our upcoming mints and other exclusive rewards."
Recipients have until the end of April to claim rewards, provided they meet eligibility requirements. To claim points, users need to sign up with FSL ID (id.fsl.com) — FSL's newest product that rewards community engagement across the FSL ecosystem: STEPN, MOOAR, and Gas Hero.
Shiti Maghani added: "STEPN currently finds itself at a very exciting juncture, with major plans in the pipeline this year to supercharge our growth and cement our leading position in the move and earn segment. The next few months mark a pivotal moment for our project, and we're thrilled to share this with our most dedicated supporters."
This airdrop is the first of several major announcements from STEPN designed to strengthen its competitive position and reignite the move-and-earn market.
Gas Hero makes $90 million
Web3 developer Find Satoshi Lab recently reported that Gas Hero, its video game, generated $90 million in NFT trading during its first month. Gas Hero features six NFT collections, letting users trade in-game items like characters and weapons as NFTs on the Polygon PoS blockchain. The Gas Hero Common Heroes collection currently ranks as the fifth most-traded collection in the last 24 hours on CryptoSlam.
STEPN vs Gas Hero
Find Satoshi Lab built its reputation with blockchain-enabled fitness app STEPN, then expanded into web3 gaming with Gas Hero. The ongoing Gas Wars PvP battles give players a shot at winning a share of 14 million $GMT tokens.
Shiti Maghani, COO of Find Satoshi Lab, explains, "Gas Hero is all about battling, collecting NFTs, and earning GMT. It's a social game where strategic planning takes center stage." Unlike STEPN, Gas Hero runs on Polygon using a bridged version of the $GMT token. This shift shows Find Satoshi Lab's commitment to community growth through different platforms.
Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon Labs, highlighted Gas Hero's early success and its broad appeal as evidence of growing interest in web3 gaming. Gas Hero currently has over 10,000 active users and runs on both mobile devices and computers without requiring downloads. As Gas Hero establishes itself in web3 gaming, its impact on the broader landscape and its innovative NFT collections remain worth watching.
