STEPN, a Web3 lifestyle app that incentivizes users to exercise by offering tokenized rewards, announced a collaboration with SaaSGo. SaaSGo (formally Encentive.io) is the world’s first fiat-DeFi integrated Web3 software as a service platform. In partnership, the companies are releasing a co-branded NFT Sneaker collection in celebration of the World Cup, signed by former professional footballer, current Argentina national under-20 football head coach and FIFA World Cup ambassador, Javier Mascherano.
The colorful World Cup collection is a unique set of 250 Genesis NFT Sneakers, comprised of 218 Common, 30 Uncommon, and 2 Rare Sneakers. The design pays homage to Mascherano’s brand and proudly displays his autograph on the side of the boot. The Ethereum-based NFT Sneakers are fully playable on STEPN and available for purchase in the SaaSGo marketplace.
Yawn Rong, Co-Founder of STEPN commented on the news, “we are pioneering new and innovative ways to expand NFT utility for our community. We want to continue the trend of designing real-world experiences for NFT holders–first with the STEPN and Atlètico de Madrid collection, and now with the World Cup collection with SaaSGo and Mascherano. Our mission at STEPN is to introduce new users to Web3, encourage a healthy lifestyle, and promote carbon neutrality. The World Cup NFT project is one of many benefits for our community members.”
Javier Mascherano pointed out that "football is the most popular sport in the world. It belongs to everyone." SaaSGo shares this view of democratizing football and has applied it to the Web3 ecosystem through this NFT partnership.
The NFT Sneakers in the World Cup collection grant access to more than just a digital collectible. The NFTs serve as a digital membership for holders to get exclusive access to STEPN Genesis holder perks, tutorials, and an entrance into a merchandise giveaway.
Edward Song, Co-Founder of SaaSGo stated, “Our mission here at SaaSGo is to bring Web3 to billions of users. We’re thrilled about our collaboration with Mascherano and STEPN and we believe that it will bring tangible benefits to football fans and our respective communities.“
About STEPN
STEPN is a Web3 lifestyle app with an inbuilt game and social elements. STEPN is built around an essential daily activity for most people – moving around. We are the first project to effectively bring to life a functioning move-to-earn concept. Users equip themselves with NFTs in the form of Sneakers. By walking, jogging, or running outdoors, users will earn in-game currency, which can either be used in-game or cashed out for profit. With Game-Fi, STEPN aims to nudge millions toward a healthier lifestyle, combat climate change, and connect the public to Web3, all while simultaneously hinging on its Social-Fi aspect to build a long-lasting platform fostering user-generated Web3 content.
