# App Modes The in-app tokens, $STEPS, are earned simply by moving as long as a user has purchased a sneakers NFT via the marketplace. However, there are different modes with different levels to achieve which would unlock different upgrades, accessories and/or earning potentials. Once a player creates an account in the WalkN app, they can use the app without earning or just explore its features before purchasing an NFT. An NFT is required in the app to start earning $STEPS tokens.
