Anti-Cheating System

Anti-Cheating System

Using devices that have been jailbroken, rooted, or with an altered OS will result in STEPN not working properly. Note that we will not assist you to retrieve your losing assets as a result of using GPS spoofing or hackware.
Three mechanics are used to stop cheating in the game, which includes the cheater's account being punished:
  • Desensitized GPS data
  • Motion sensor and health data
  • A machine-learning STEPN’S Anti-Cheating System (SMAC)
After users long press the stop button and end the session, the SMAC System will take it time to analyze if users have exploited the STEPN move&earn mechanics.
A user starts with a 100/100 Turing Score (TS), the score is invisible to the users. When a user’s Turing Score is below 100, the user cannot interact with the NFT marketplace, or transfer between spending and wallet accounts. If a user is moving outdoor without cheating, the Turing Score will gradually return to 100/100.
The SMAC System will add or deduct users’ Turing Score and earnings once the analysis is done.
The following table outlines how the System works and you accept the Turing Score and token consequences that apply in these circumstances. The following table does not limit our rights to otherwise take action in connection with your misuse of the App or the Services.

* Moonwalking is not part of the System’s scrutiny, as the feedback from Moonwalking is instant, whereas the System only displays the result after the end of each session.
** If the reset token earning is GST, a portion of the GST will go to the Schadenfreude Pool. If the reset token earning is GMT, it will be refunded back to the total GMT release of the day.
