In the end of each session after users long press the stop button, the Machine Learning Anti-Cheating System (System) will evaluate if users have exploited the STEPN move2earn mechanics. The System will add or deduct users’ Turing Score in the end of each session, user cannot start a new session before the System completes the analysis.
A user starts with a 100/100 Turing Score (TS). 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 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.
Examples* | System Result | Consequence** |
|---|---|---|
Reverse engineering | Cheating | No earning, reduce TS |
GPS spoofing/hacking | Cheating | No earning, reduce TS |
Motion simulation/hacking | Cheating | No earning, reduce TS |
Move with multiple mobiles with STEPN activated at the same time | Cheating | No earning, reduce TS |
Make animals carry phones with STEPN activated | Cheating | No earning, reduce TS |
Run with a group of friends all with STEPN activated | No Cheating | Earning, increase TS |
Carry two mobiles but only one with STEPN activated | No Cheating | Earning, increase TS |
* 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.
