According to SCMP, Stepn have been taken to restrict mainland China users from following authorities

The South China Morning Post claimed that the Solana-based “move-to-earn” game Stepn will prohibit users in mainland China as requested by Chinese regulators.

Stepn is a blockchain-based fitness software developed by an Australian startup. It operates by allowing users to purchase NFTs that last for a set period. The user may exercise and earn the platform’s native GST tokens as a reward during this period, according to a report from The Block earlier this year.

According to a tweet sent on Thursday, on July 15, the business will begin “screening and cleaning out” mainland China users and will stop offering GPS and IP geolocation services to them.
