Over 170 advertising on Alibaba's second-hand marketplace offers running services to generate cryptocurrency GMT in exchange for fiat commissions for StepN customers. Advertisers are offering alternative running services depending on running pace, with estimates ranging from 8 to 15 yuan (US$1.18 to US$2.21) per "energy" for walking and jogging services and 12 to 25 yuan (US$1.77 to US$3.78) per "energy" for running services.
Alternative options include a 10% share of the entire amount of GMT gained during a run or charging StepN users based on the rarity of the NFT. Users can earn at least $25 per 10 minutes of work, with some earning up to $4,500 in a single day.
