1/ An overview of the fees #STEPN accumulated in Q3 on #Solana
Some assumptions were made: 1. #SOL & #GMT leaving the fee wallet are sold for #USDC (not proven) 2. Averages were calculated for some days (infrequency of the data).
I hope everything's clear & can provide value
2/ Daily-earnings (SOL)
It's important to know that @Stepnofficial doesn't transfer their fees daily. This is why I had to calculate averages for July. The numbers are more accurate for August.
Fees dropped from +/- 3,000 SOL in early July to half of this for most of August.
Translating all the data to USD shows that #STEPN was earning around $100,000 daily in fees earlier on in July. In the recent week, this number has dropped to +/- $45,000 daily.
The graph below shows the inflow & outflow of SOL from the fee wallet. Sudden spikes and falls are due to the infrequent dates and sizes of the transactions
I assume that SOL leaving the wallet is sent to a CEX and exchanged for #USDC
Even though on chain transactions on #BSC show the daily #GMT burns, the total #GMT supply, after burns, might in fact not decrease.
Please allow me to explain 👇
2/ Binance Bridge
@binance has their own bridge to bring tokens from other chains to #BSC
They do so by holding collateral in a 1:1 ratio in certain wallets (102% ratio atm)
Today 1.3M #GMT was minted on #BSC and an equivalent 1.3M #GMT were sent & held in a wallet on #Solana.
3/ Why?
This is done to ensure that tokens can move both ways.
Theoretically: When #StepN decides to bring liquidity back from #BSC to #Solana, they could burn the tokens on #BSC and release an equivalent amount of #GMT from their wallet back into #Solana.
3/ Next, I've got some DMs stressing that the vesting schedule (by investors) is still followed and very active meaning that none of the vested tokens have been paid out.
This wallet has received 186,669 #GMT over 7 months. It has a registered domain "tehmoonwalker.sol". There's a Twitter account with an equivalent name @tehMoonwalkeR
3/ The account is followed by @Stepnofficial and has been posting very actively until early June. Then it got more silent.
Given his huge following base, I'm guessing this could be an influencer paid by #StepN to promote the project.
