Ultimate STEPN Calculator: Maximize Your Move-to-Earn Strategy
Whether you are a seasoned "Stepner" or a newcomer to the Solana-based Move-to-Earn ecosystem, understanding your return on investment (ROI) is crucial. The STEPN calculator allows you to input your Sneaker attributes—specifically Efficiency and Resilience—to predict your daily earnings and maintenance costs accurately.
How the STEPN Earnings Calculation Works
Your earnings in STEPN are primarily determined by four factors:
Sneaker Type: Walkers, Joggers, Runners, and Trainers have different base GST return rates. Runners generally earn more but require a higher speed maintained.
Efficiency: This is the primary driver of GST income. The higher the Efficiency, the more GST earned per unit of energy spent.
Resilience: This attribute determines the durability decay. High Resilience means lower repair costs, preserving your net profit.
Energy: Your total energy pool dictates how long you can earn per day. 1 Energy equals 5 minutes of earning movement.
Understanding Repair Costs
In STEPN, your NFT sneakers wear out as you use them. If your durability falls below 50%, your earnings drop. Our calculator factors in the Resilience attribute to estimate how many GST you must spend to keep your shoe at 100% durability. The formula takes into account that as Resilience increases, the cost per energy spent decreases significantly.
Example Earnings Scenario
If you own a Common Jogger with 30 Efficiency and 10 Resilience, using 2 Energy per day:
Gross Earnings: Approximately 10.50 GST.
Repair Costs: Approximately 2.10 GST.
Net Daily Profit: 8.40 GST.
By monitoring the current GST price on exchanges, you can convert these digital rewards into real-world value (USD) to track your sneaker's break-even point.
Tips for Optimizing Your STEPN Yield
1. The 3:1 Rule: Many advanced players suggest maintaining a 3:1 ratio between Efficiency and Resilience for low-level common sneakers to balance high earnings with manageable repair costs.
2. Level Up Strategically: Every time you level up your sneaker, you gain attribute points. Use this calculator to simulate where those points should go—Efficiency for raw gain or Resilience to save on costs.
3. Check Energy Windows: Energy refills by 25% every 6 hours. Plan your walks or runs to ensure you never sit at maximum energy, as you stop accumulating more once the bar is full.
