Anti-Cheating System

The Anti-Cheating System ensures fairness by making STEPN not functioning correctly on devices that are jailbroken, rooted, or have an altered operating system. It is important to note that we cannot assist in recovering assets lost due to GPS spoofing or the use of hackware.

To prevent cheating, three mechanisms are used, which may lead to the cheater's account being penalised:

• Desensitised GPS data

• Motion sensor and health data

• A machine-learning STEPN’S Anti-Cheating System (SMAC)

After a user long-presses the stop button to end a session, the SMAC System will analyse whether the STEPN move&earn mechanics were exploited.

Users start with a Turing Score (TS) of 100/100, which remains invisible to them. If a user’s TS falls below a certain threshold, they will be restricted from interacting with the NFT marketplace or transferring funds between spending and wallet accounts. However, if a user moves outdoors without cheating, their TS will gradually return to 100/100.

The SMAC System will add or deduct users’ Turing Score and earnings once the analysis is done.

Acceptance of the Turing Score and associated token consequences under these circumstances is outlined in the table below. This table does not limit our rights to take further action regarding misuse of the App or Services.

Examples*	System Result	Consequence**
Reverse engineering	Cheating	No earnings, TS reduction
GPS spoofing/hacking	Cheating	No earnings, TS reduction
Motion simulation/hacking	Cheating	No earnings, TS reduction
Move with multiple mobiles with STEPN activated at the same time	Cheating	No earnings, TS reduction
Make animals carry phones with STEPN activated	Cheating	No earnings, TS reduction
Run with a group of friends all with STEPN activated	No Cheating	Earnings, TS increase
Carry two mobiles but only one with STEPN activated	No Cheating	Earnings, TS increase

*Moonwalking is not scrutinised by the System as its feedback is instant, whereas the System only displays results after each session ends.

**If the reset token earning is GST, a portion will be allocated to the Schadenfreude Pool. If it's GMT, it will be refunded to the day's total GMT release.
