继加密货币Luna在价值近乎归零后，加密货币市场又一次引起关注，这次是币圈热门“跑鞋”项目STEPN。
After the encrypt currency Luna was close to zero in value, the encrypt currency market was once again a source of concern, this time as a popular currency “run-shoe” project STEPN.
5月27日，STEPN突然宣布清退大陆用户，引发项目代币GMT和GST价格跳水，一度跌幅近40%。不过，随着市场情绪有所缓和，截至记者发稿时，两个代币价格有所回升。
On 27 May, STEPN suddenly announced the withdrawal of mainland users, triggering a drop of nearly 40 per cent in the project's token GMT and GST prices. However, as market sentiment subsided, the price of the two tokens had recovered by the time journalists issued their papers.
7月15日前停止提供GPS及IP位置服务
Discontinue GPS and IP position service by 15 July
北京时间5月27日凌晨，STEPN在其官方社交媒体上发布《关于清退中国大陆账户的公告》，称将对软件用户进行清查，若发现中国大陆地区用户，则将依据使用条款对其账户于2022年7月15日(UTC+8)24:00停止提供GPS及IP位置服务。
In the early morning hours of 27 May Beijing time, STEPN published in its official social media a bulletin on clearing mainland China accounts, stating that users of the software would be identified and that users in mainland China would cease to provide GPS and IP location services on 15 July 2022 (UTC+8) at 24:00 in accordance with the terms of use.
STEPN在公告中表示，如果用户预期长期会在中国大陆地区的GPS或IP位置登陆及使用帐户，鼓励用户自行决策处理应用内的资产。
In its bulletin, STEPN stated that if users expected long-term landing and use of accounts in GPS or IP locations in mainland China, users were encouraged to make their own decisions on the disposal of assets in applications.
至于清退中国大陆用户的原因，STEPN在公告中解释是“为积极主动响应相关监管政策”。
As to the reasons for the withdrawal of users from mainland China, STEPN explained in its bulletin that “to respond proactively to relevant regulatory policies”.
去年9月24日，中国人民银行发布《关于进一步防范和处置虚拟货币交易炒作风险的通知》，再次重申虚拟货币相关业务活动属于非法金融活动。其中，境外虚拟货币交易所通过互联网向我国境内居民提供服务同样属于非法金融活动，对于相关境外虚拟货币交易所的境内工作人员，以及明知或应知其从事虚拟货币相关业务，仍为其提供营销宣传、支付结算、技术支持等服务的法人、非法人组织和自然人，依法追究有关责任。
On 24 September last year, the People’s Bank of China issued a circular on further prevention and management of the risks associated with virtual currency transactions, reiterating once again that virtual currency-related operations are illegal financial activities. Among them, the offshore virtual currency exchange provides services to residents in the country via the Internet, which are also illegal financial activities. Legal and legal persons, organizations of illegal persons and natural persons are held liable under the law for marketing promotion, payment settlement, technical support, etc.
在此次《通知》发布后，一些加密货币交易平台接连宣布清退中国大陆地区用户。其中，币安C2C去年12月31日24时下架CNY交易区，同时将对平台用户进行清查，若平台发现中国大陆地区用户，则其对应账户将切换至“只允许提现”模式，用户将只能进行提现、撤单、赎回、平仓操作。
After the announcement, a number of encrypted money-trading platforms announced the removal of users from mainland China. Of these, the currency C2C had set up a CY trading area at 2400 hours on 31 December last year. At the same time, an inventory of users of the platform will be conducted. If the platform discovers users from mainland China, the corresponding account will be switched to the “only cash withdrawal” mode, and the users will be able to cash out, withdraw, redeem, and level the warehouse.
目前尚不清楚STEPN清退中国大陆用户是否是基于该监管政策。
It is not clear whether STEPN's withdrawal from mainland China is based on this regulatory policy.
STEPN在公告中透露，从创建起就没有在中国大陆地区从事任何业务也并未提供下载管道，“STEPN历来重视合规义务，始终严格遵守当地监管机构相关要求。”
In its bulletin, STEPN disclosed that it had not carried out any operations in mainland China since its creation and did not provide a downloading pipeline, “STEPN has always attached importance to compliance obligations and has always complied strictly with the relevant requirements of local regulatory bodies”.
STEPN代币暴跌 一度跌近40%
STEPN'S MONEY SLEEPS THROUGH 40% AT A TIME
清退中国大陆用户的公告，引发了STEPN项目代币GMT的暴跌。
The announcement of withdrawal from mainland China triggered a collapse of the STEPN project token GMT.
事实上，在清退中国大陆用户的公告发出前，5月26日中午起，GMT即开始跳水，从1.32美元附近的价格一路下跌，最低至0.80423美元，最大跌幅近40%。不过，随着市场情绪有所缓和，GMT价格也有所回升，截至发稿时，最新价约为1.04美元。
In fact, as of midday, 26 May, before the announcement to clear mainland China, the GMT began to dive, falling from a price close to $1.32 to 0.80423, with a maximum decline of nearly 40%. However, as market sentiment subsided, the GMT price recovered, with the latest price at the time of the release being about $1.04.
同时，STEPN项目中的游戏代币GST同样暴跌，跌幅一度超过两成。
At the same time, the game token GST in the STEPN project fell by more than 20 per cent at a time.
“第二个Luna来了?”在社交媒体上，有币圈人士这样留言。
“The second Luna?” In social media, there's money-circumstances who leave messages like this.
估值曾突破10亿美元
The valuation was over $1 billion
被质疑有庞氏特征
is suspected to have Ponzi characteristics
STEPN是2022初最火热的币圈项目之一，主打“边跑边赚(Move to Earn)”的概念。简单来说，STEPN是一款基于区块链技术的游戏APP，支持用户以运动鞋形式拥有NFT，并通过在现实世界中户外步行或跑步赚取代币以获得收入。要想参与该游戏，玩家需要先拥有STEPN推出的NFT运动鞋才可参与游戏。因此，“跑鞋”NFT也成为了该项目的标志之一。
STEPN is one of the hottest currency circles in the early 2022’s. The concept of “Move to Earn” is used. STEPN is simply an APP based on block chain technology that supports users to own NFT in the form of sneakers and earns income by making money out of walking or running in the real world. To participate in the game, players need to own NFT sneakers launched by STEPN before participating in the game.
STEPN主要使用两种货币，分别是游戏代币GST和治理代币GMT。其中，GST主要用于升级游戏体验，比如制作、修理及升级跑鞋，或升级宝石、解锁插座等;GMT则主要用于交易买卖活游戏内抵押等。
STEPN uses two currencies, game tokens, GSTs, and governance tokens, GMTs.
边跑边赚代币的玩法，让STEPN用户增长迅速，其中今年3月到4月仅一个月期间，日活用户从3万增长至40万，注册用户突破100万，估值突破10亿美金。
The growth of STEPN users has been made possible by running and earning coins, with daily users growing from 30,000 to 400,000 in just one month from March to April of this year, registered users breaking by 1 million and valuations exceeding $1 billion.
此前，STEPN曾于今年1月完成红杉资本印度和Folius Ventures领投的500万美元种子轮，于4月获得Binance Labs的战略投资。
Previously, STEPN had completed a $5 million seedship in January this year, led by Redwood Capital India and Folius Ventures, and received strategic investment from Binance Labs in April.
然而，围绕着STEPN项目是否是庞氏骗局的质疑也从未中断。有分析认为， STEPN采用双代币经济模型，其中GST总量无限供应，GMT总量60亿，这种纯靠经济模型吸引用户的代币经济也是“庞氏骗局”的一种。
However, the question surrounding whether the STEPN project was a Ponzi scheme has never been stopped. There is an analysis that suggests that the STEPN uses a bigenerational economic model, with an unlimited supply of GST and a total of 6 billion GMT, and that a purely economic model that attracts users is also a “Ponzi scheme”.
