Episode notes

Stepan allows users to earn two different tokens, GST and GMT. How has this decision changed things at Stepan? What lessons have you learned from it so far? I feel like there's so many different levers you can pull in terms of like how much tokens to reward to users or which tier of users to really try to optimize for user retention.

How can crypto be dead when we still have outstanding teams building amidst this bear market?

STEPN took the world by storm when it introduced the idea of earning through movement - at its peak, there were more than a million daily active users using STEPN.

Since then, Find Satoshi Labs (team behind STEPN) has made further strides and verticalized to launch its own decentralized exchange DOOAR and more recently, their NFT marketplace MOOAR.

Today on Blockcrunch we have Mable Jiang, Chief Revenue Officer at Find Satoshi Labs to share with us:

How is STEPN performing in a bear market
Decision to verticalization
Enforcing royalties on DOOAR
Trading vs subscription fee on DOOAR
