Step App said on Aug. 5 that it will shut down after four years, setting Aug. 21 as the deadline for all services to wind down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In its official statement<\/a>, the move-to-earn project told users to unstake locked tokens and manage exchange positions before access ends. It did not give a financial, technical or regulatory reason for the closure.<\/p>\nThe team said the application recorded \u201c1M+ downloads\u201d and \u201cbillions of steps tracked.\u201d Those figures are company-reported and were not independently audited. Step App framed the closure as a final operational wind-down rather than a migration to another product or token. It has not announced a buyer, restructuring process or continuation plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDear Steppers, <\/p>\nThere’s no easy way to say this \u2014 after four years of work, Step App is shutting down.
