GMT token airdrop on way for early Stepn NFT holders
Quick Take
- Stepn to reward Genesis sneaker NFT holders with GMT tokens.
- Eligible holders stand to receive between $1,800 and $14,400 worth of GMT tokens per NFT.
Move-to-earn crypto platform Stepn is set to airdrop its GMT tokens to holders of its Genesis sneaker NFT collection.
The airdrop is based on a snapshot taken on Feb. 12. A snapshot is a static record of a blockchain at a particular point in time. Snapshots are used for retroactive airdrops to filter eligible users.
In Stepn’s case, the snapshot selected its Genesis sneaker holders. Stepn launched this collection in August 2022. The snapshot criteria also designated holders who had their NFTs in their spending wallets. Users who listed their Genesis sneaker NFTs for sale are not part of the airdrop.

The airdrop will reward NFT holders with GMT tokens based on the rarity of their sneakers. This will range from 4,000 GMT ($1,800) for uncommon sneakers to 32,000 GMT ($14,400) for NFTs with “epic” rarity. Each NFT represents one airdrop, Stepn said.
Stepn said the airdrop is to reward early supporters who held on to their NFTs through the crypto bear market. Some community members, however, faulted the decision to restrict the airdrop to what they described as a small fraction of the project’s community.
GMT is currently trading at $0.45, down 7% in the last 24-hour trading period.
