20 new levels on Step mean more rewards you can reap and more fun. But there’s more
As anticipated during the announcement of Step 3.0, we have also planned something for the app’s most loyal players. Here are all the news and some clarifications on the updates.
The news
As of today, those who have reached level 50 can continue to earn experience points and go up another 20 levels!
So the total number of levels available on Step is 70.
To view the levels click on the blue hexagon at the top left of the homepage, then click on ‘Show levels’.
NB: For technical reasons, XPs accumulated after level 50 before today’s date were not counted, so that you may redeem rewards for the subsequent levels.
There is one extra piece of news: at the community’s request, we have added the new 1-hour Duration to Up&Down, with the corresponding reward of 25 XP.
Frequently asked questions about Step 3.0
We would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few points you have asked us about Step’s innovations.
1. The transfer of YNG
Currently, it is only possible to transfer YNG tokens to Young Platform if you have at least 45 YNGs, which at the time of writing corresponds to just €5.
These numbers are not random: €5 is the minimum amount allowed for the sale of YNG. Consequently, facilitating the transfer of a lower amount, such as 30 YNG (€3) could mislead many people making their first transfer.
Indeed, consider that the transfer of YNG is not reversible: you cannot send them back to Step if you change your mind.
Thus, transferring €3 in YNG to Young Platform for the first time would mean that you would not be able to convert them into Euro and thus not even be able to withdraw it to your bank account or card (the minimum withdrawal is €21.99).
However, some of you, including those who already have YNG on the exchange, have expressed the need to transfer even smaller amounts. Once again, we listened. This is why we will be testing the lowering of the minimum threshold in the coming weeks to see the extent of the negative and positive effects for users.
2. The rewards of previous levels
Some people, who arrived on Step 3.0 with levels higher than the first, asked us why they did not receive the rewards of the previous levels.
Virtually, these people have already received the rewards due them during Step 2.0, using all the features, and have also had the opportunity to collect far more YNG than what can be obtained through levels, as opposed to new users.
How did we give these Levels? We simulated the experience that each of the users accumulated by actually using the app, and assigned a level proportional to the tokens obtained. So it is as if Step always had some sort of system based on Levels and XP.
In this way we give newcomers to the community the opportunity to obtain YNG, but without penalising the price of the latter. Indeed, if excessively distributed, it risks inflation and thus devaluation.
Enough chit-chat! Time to play and level up on Step.
