Popular Web3 coin project STEPN (GMT) has been one of the top earners among the top 100 cryptocurrencies in the past 30 days. To expand the growth of GMT, his team announced the start of a quarterly STEPN buyback and burn.
Web3 Coin project launches buyback and burn program
Web3 Coin was founded in August 2021 by Australian blockchain entrepreneur Yawn Rong. STEPN is a distinctive Web3 lifestyle app with GameFi elements on the Solana Blockchain. It combines the features of a play-to-earn game with a fitness app. This creates a new category called move-to-earn. Users purchase NFT sneakers that they can use to earn in-game cash while walking, running or jogging.
According to the announcement, GMT made around $122.5 million in profits from platform fees alone. He said he will use 5% of profits to initiate the Q2 STEPN buyback. However, it will set aside capital reserves to upgrade its existing properties.
