On June 5, the STEPN team reported that an M2E application had suffered multiple DDoS attacks in a matter of hours.
«Protectionservers and recovery may take up to 12hours. We recommend that you rest a little during maintenance, otherwise workouts may not be recorded correctly,” the developers wrote.
Built on the Solana and BNB Chain networks, the game allows you to receive rewards in GST and GMT tokens for walking or jogging. To participate, users need to purchase sneakers in the form of NFTs.
What is STEPN?
«Our engineers are working hard to fix the problems. We will notify you as soon as the restoration is completed,” the application team clarified.
At the time of writing, the developers have not provided additional comments.
Despite the attack, the GMT project management token has risen in price by more than 10% over the past day and is trading at $1.05 (CoinGecko).

The price of the in-game currency GST on Solana has risen to $0.66, up 6.5% in the last 24 hours. On the BNB Chain blockchain, the coin costs about $0.85.
Recall that from June 15, STEPN will stop serving users from mainland China.
