One name, three tokens: GST by realm

Green Satoshi Token on Solana, GST on BNB Chain and GST on Polygon share a logo and a ticker, but they are three separate tokens. STEPN calls them sGST, bGST and pGST, and each one belongs to its own realm: a separate game server with its own players, sneakers and economy. The official FAQ is direct about it: GST is not shared across realms ^[source] . You cannot move sGST into the Polygon realm, and FSL will not swap one for another 1:1.

This page explains what each realm is, where its GST trades, which gas coin it needs, why the prices are different, and what happened to the Ethereum realm that older guides still mention. The explorer widget at the top of this page shows the official contract for each chain with a copy button; use it, or the whitepaper, whenever you need an address.

What are the three STEPN realms?

A realm is a self-contained copy of the STEPN economy running on one blockchain. Your account can play in all three, and some things are shared: your inventory limits are account-wide, and Mystery Box slots are shared across realms. But sneakers, GST and most balances are tied to the chain they live on. The whitepaper’s realm page puts it plainly: in-game utility tokens are unique to each realm and cannot be transferred between them ^[source] .

Energy is also counted per realm. You can hold up to 20 Energy in each realm and up to 60 across the account. That is one reason some players spread sneakers across two or three realms, as explained on our energy page.

Solana: the original realm

STEPN started on Solana, and sGST is still the token most people mean when they say “GST”. It is the one tracked as GST-SOL on CoinGecko, and its price lines up with the GST quotes on centralised exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken. The main on-chain pool is Raydium GST/USDC, which held roughly $40k of liquidity when we checked DexScreener. Smaller pools exist on Orca (GST/USDC) and Meteora (GMT/GST), each with well under $1k.

BNB Chain: the second realm

The BNB Chain realm launched in April 2022, around the ASICS sneaker sale on Binance NFT ^[source] . Its token, bGST, is tracked as GST-BSC on CoinGecko. Most of its liquidity sits in a DOOAR GST/USDC pool, about $34.5k when we checked, with small pools on PancakeSwap (GST/WBNB) and Biswap. If you have searched “GST (BSC)” or “green satoshi token bsc”, this is the token you are looking for.

Polygon: the newest realm

Polygon GST, or pGST, appeared in the whitepaper changelog in May 2025, and the Polygon realm formally replaced the Ethereum realm in August 2025. It has no CoinGecko listing, so most price sites do not show it; DexScreener is the reliable free source. Its main pool is DOOAR GST/USDT0, which held about $122k of liquidity, the deepest of the three GST pools at the time of our research. FSL has mentioned renewed community interest in the Polygon realm, particularly in Japan ^[source] . pGST is also accepted as a funding token in GMT Pay.

Official GST contract addresses

The explorer widget above is the easiest way to copy these. For reference, here are the addresses listed on the official tokenomics page ^[source] :

The Solana and BNB Chain addresses match the platform fields on CoinGecko. The Polygon address matches the DOOAR pool on DexScreener. If an address you see elsewhere does not match, assume it is a fake. Many unrelated tokens use “GST” as a ticker, and DEX search results are full of memecoins that borrow the name. Our GST wallet and safety guide covers fake tokens in more detail.

What happened to the Ethereum realm?

The Ethereum realm, first launched as the “APE Realm” in July 2022, was STEPN’s third realm for about three years. It never had deep GST liquidity: we found no meaningful Uniswap pools for Ethereum GST, and its CoinGecko price stopped updating in October 2025. In August 2025 the Polygon realm took its place ^[source] , and the whitepaper now labels the Ethereum GST and GMT contracts as inactive.

For you, that means two things. First, any guide that tells you to buy “ETH GST” or use the Ethereum realm is out of date. Second, a price you see for “GST on Ethereum” is stale data from a dead market, not a real quote. If you still hold old Ethereum-realm GST, there is no active game economy behind it.

Why GST prices differ between Solana, BNB Chain and Polygon

People are often surprised that pGST trades at roughly ten times the price of sGST. At the time of our research, sGST was around $0.0004, bGST around $0.0009 and pGST around $0.0045. These are fractions of a cent, and they change daily, so check the live numbers on our GST price page.

The gap exists because nothing connects the three tokens. Each realm has its own emission (how much GST its players earn), its own burns (how much they spend on levels, repairs and mints), and its own pools. A realm where players spend heavily relative to what they earn will see its GST hold value better. A realm with lots of selling and few sinks will see its GST fall. The tokenomics page explains that supply logic.

Because the tokens cannot be bridged, there is no arbitrage that pulls the prices together. You cannot buy cheap sGST and redeem it for pricier pGST. So a “cheaper” realm is not automatically a bargain, and a “more expensive” one is not automatically better. They are simply different markets.

GMT works differently. It is one token across chains, and FSL rebalances its liquidity by burning on one chain and minting on another, with the moves logged in the whitepaper’s transparency section. That is why GMT has one price everywhere while GST has three.

Pools, liquidity and slippage per chain

Liquidity tells you how much you can trade before the price moves against you. At the time of our research, the main GST pools looked roughly like this: Polygon DOOAR GST/USDT0 around $122k, Solana Raydium GST/USDC around $40k, and BNB Chain DOOAR GST/USDC around $34.5k. Every other pool was below a few thousand dollars.

Those are small numbers. A pool with $40k on each side can absorb small trades fine, but a trade of a few thousand dollars will move the price noticeably. If you are buying or selling more than pocket change, split the order, check the expected output before you confirm, and set a sensible slippage limit. DOOAR is FSL’s own DEX and powers the in-app swap, which charges a 1% fee ^[source] .

There are also centralised options. Coinbase and Kraken list GST, and their quotes track the Solana token’s price; MAX in Taiwan lists GST against the Taiwan dollar. Always check which network an exchange supports for GST deposits and withdrawals before you send anything. For BNB Chain and Polygon GST, on-chain pools are the main market. The step-by-step routes are on our how to buy GST guide.

Gas coins and the cost of moving tokens

Every move between your in-app Spending account and your Wallet is an on-chain transaction and needs the realm’s gas coin ^[source] . That means SOL in the Solana realm, BNB in the BNB Chain realm and POL in the Polygon realm. Keep a small buffer of the right coin in your wallet; running out of gas is one of the most common reasons a withdrawal or swap fails.

One caution for Polygon players. An older Help Center funding guide tells users to send POL on “Ethereum Mainnet (ERC-20)”. That looks outdated now that the realm runs on Polygon. Before sending POL to your STEPN wallet, check in the app which network the deposit address expects. If in doubt, send a tiny test amount first.

Reading price data for each realm correctly

Most price sites show one GST number, and that number is almost always the Solana token. If you play in the BNB Chain or Polygon realm, a headline “GST price” can mislead you about what your own balance is worth. For bGST, look for the GST-BSC listing on CoinGecko. For pGST, use DexScreener and filter for the Polygon chain, since CoinGecko has no listing for that contract. Our GST price page puts all three side by side so you do not have to hunt.

The same applies to earnings estimates. If you plan your sneaker build with sGST prices but you actually earn pGST, your dollar maths can be off by a factor of ten in either direction. Plug the right realm’s price into the GST earning calculator and you will get a far more honest number. When you compare realms, compare in dollars per session, not in GST, because a GST in one realm is not the same thing as a GST in another.

Which realm should you choose?

There is no single right answer, and this is not investment advice. A few practical factors help:

• Where your friends and guild play. Realms are separate communities, and the Polygon realm currently shows a lot of activity from Japanese players.
• How you plan to cash out. The GST quotes on Coinbase, Kraken and MAX track sGST, while bGST and pGST rely mostly on DOOAR pools. Confirm the supported network with any exchange first.
• Gas coin access. If you already hold SOL, BNB or POL from a local exchange, starting in that realm saves a swap.
• Sneaker prices in that realm. Floors are set per realm in GMT, so compare on the marketplace before you commit.

If you already play in one realm, remember that your GST stays there. You can earn in more than one realm, but each pile of GST is separate. For a full walkthrough of first steps, see our STEPN starter guide.
