Thank you for understanding, and we appreciate your patience!
ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hello everyone .

๐Ÿ”นApe Realm and Eth wallets will be available in 2 hours.
๐Ÿ”นSneaker airdrops to eligible winners will be in the next 24 hours.

Hello everyone,
We have noticed there is a UI floating in the community for DOOAR. Please note that any UI outside the STEPN app is unofficial. Interacting with the unofficial UIs may expose users to potential unknown risks. STEPN will not be held liable for any transactions performed in unofficial UIs. For security purpose we recommend you interacting with unofficial UIs with caution.
Thank you.
ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hello everyone .

We have received several reports of missing sneakers, and upon closer investigation we have determined that the 'missing sneakers' were actually stolen from said accounts.

The process seems to be this:
a. Scammer gets access to account A.
b. Scammer sells all assets in account A via the marketplace until all that remains are tokens, e.g. 10 ETH.
c. Scammer uses his alt account B to sell one single gem, worth 10 ETH, in the marketplace.
d. Scammer then goes back to account A, and purchases that 10 ETH gem.

RESULT: Money is transferred from account A to account B without ever touching the STEPN account's wallet setup.

Hence the most common/telltale sign is that the compromised account has nothing left but a single gem.

We have verified that the STEPN app and marketplace have no vulnerabilities. However, the opening of the new realm has introduced STEPN to a lot of new users, who are most likely new to crypto and have little knowledge of basic crypto safety.

For account owners, we recommend that all players follow these steps:

๐Ÿ”นMake sure that your STEPN password is unique and not used in any other website. Better yet, use the Verification login (uses Verification code) instead of Account login (uses a password).
๐Ÿ”นEnable 2FA on your STEPN account. Hackers can't log in without your 2FA code, and 2FA code will be asked for each buying/selling transaction in the marketplace. The only way 2FA can be defeated is if the player gives their 2FA codes to the hacker, or if the 2FA is disabled.
๐Ÿ”น Do not entertain offers of help via DM, in any social media channel, whether Discord, Facebook, Reddit, or Twitter. Moderator team members will NEVER DM YOU.
๐Ÿ”น Do not give away your account codes. The only one who should know your seed phrase/wallet passcodes/verification codes/2FA codes is YOU.
๐Ÿ”น Visit only official STEPN links. We cannot vouch for the safety of any other websites or links. You can check all official STEPN links here: https://support.stepn.com/hc/en-us/articles/6693272573465-Official-Links

โš ๏ธ The verification code is the literal key to your account; anyone who has your Verification code can access it.
โš ๏ธ The 2FA code is the last line of defense should the Verification code be taken from you; giving the 2FA code to someone gives your account to them.

Thank you.
ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hello everyone .

The HP free restore is now activated. Moving forward, you will receive a one-time, 100% HP restore when your sneaker reaches level 25.

Thank you!
ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hello everyone!

โš ๏ธ There seems to be a widespread hacking throughout the Solana ecosystem โš ๏ธ

If you imported/exported any non-custodial wallet into/out of STEPN, we suggest you to do the following to protect yourself:

1๏ธโƒฃ If you notice you already have missing assets, please create a NEW wallet and transfer your assets to that new wallet. Be sure to keep the seed phrases for the old and new wallets.
2๏ธโƒฃ Do not use the exact same passwords across several wallets or websites.

If you are using a STEPN wallet (i.e. it was generated using the STEPN app), and have never exported said wallet, you donโ€™t need to do anything for now.

Thank you!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hello everyone .

Our team has detected an increase in activity that exploits the relatively low gas fees in both Solana and BNB.

To combat this, we have raised the gas fee to 1 GST per transaction for both realms.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and we thank you for understanding.
ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hello @everyone .

To improve user experience, the STEPN app will undergo maintenance starting Monday, August 15, 2022 8:00 AM UTC, with an estimated MINIMUM time of FOUR (4) hours.

๐Ÿ”ธ We recommend using up all your energy before the maintenance, in case maintenance gets extended.
๐Ÿ”ธSecure your account by documenting the following details prior to the update:
---- The email address you're using with your STEPN account (it's easy to forget this when you've been logged into your account for months without being logged out)
---- Your STEPN account password (if you have forgotten it or it keeps saying it's incorrect, you can choose to "change password" using your verification code)
---- Your seed phrase. See attached pic for a guide on how to do it.
---- Your 2FA code
---- Wallet passcode
---- Screenshots of your inventory

Thank you for understanding, and we appreciate your patience.
ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hello everyone .

We have just patched some identified bugs in the app.

The app has been updated and we have rolled back the GMT consumption for success rate improvement due to erroneous costs. The app is now back online.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thank you.
ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hello everyone .

We'd like to highlight a few additional points to today's update:

๐Ÿ”น We are preparing the Subscription feature. Once it's available, it will bring STEPN closer to web2 user adoption.
๐Ÿ”น We have put up a new website that showcase our ambassadors.
๐Ÿ”น GMT earning countdown have been made visible for everyone at the https://stepn.com/ website.
๐Ÿ”น Please note that The success rate percentage improvement is a straightforward X% original rate + Y% improvement rate.

e.g.:
-- Current success chance for gem upgrades from level 1 to 2 is 35%.
-- Increasing the success rate 3 times will increase the 35% to 38%.

Thank you!
ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hello everyone .

The exploit that was detected previously seems to have continued despite the increase in transaction fees.

The malicious activities are impacting the normal users as they increase the load and congest the transactions.

To combat this, we will raise the gas fee from 1 to 2 GST per transaction for SOL Realm.

In the future we may continue to change the transaction fee dynamically to prevent such malicious arbitraging activities.

(NOTE: transaction fees do not go to STEPN. They go to SOL validators.)

We thank you for understanding.
