# Features

### **Standard Mode**

In Standard Mode, users equip NFT Shoes to earn tokens by moving. Energy is needed to earn Step Land Tokens (**SLD**).

### **Moonwalking**

This will be shown if the app detects a weak GPS/internet signal, or if the user is not organically moving like using an electric scooter or driving. No SLD will be earned while Moonwalking.\
**This feature is still in development and will be live post-launch.**

### **GPS Signal**

White - No GPS **/** Red - Poor GPS / Green - Strong GPS.

Always make sure you have Energy before moving, as there is no token earning if you have zero Energy.

**This feature is still in development and will be live post-launch.**

### **Earning**

**SLD** is earned as users run. Once a running session has ended, users will be prompted to claim the tokens they have earned for that session. Earning rates are dependent on 4 main factors:

1\.       **Type of Shoe -** Base **SLD** returns for each Shoe differs.

2\.       **Shoe Efficiency Attribute** - The higher the efficiency, the more **SLD** earned per minute.         

3\.       **Speed of Movement** - To earn SLD, users should keep within the optimal speed range of their respective Shoes. Whenever a user falls below or above this range, their earnings will be nullified (0) until they re-enter their speed range.

**Once Energy is depleted, users stop earning tokens.**

### **Leaderboards (coming soon)**

Standard Mode participants will be ranked using points. Points will calculated based on users’ total distance travelled.

### **Background Mode (coming soon)**

While the Step Land app is not actively being used, users will be able continue earning **SLD**. As long as the user holds a pair of NFT Shoes in the app, Background Mode will count the steps directly from their mobile device’s Health Data app, capped at 4,000 steps daily. These earnings are fixed and will not count towards the daily **SLD** Cap. Users will not incur Durability or Energy costs while earning through Background Mode.
