STEP & StepDex
A DAI-backed token on a bonding-curve exchange. Genesis supply was minted to the DEX — no team wallet, no premine — and every buy, sell and transfer raises reserve ÷ supply.

01What StepNet is
Six layers. One economy. Rules you can read.
StepNet is an on-chain economy on Polygon. Its token is STEP, and every new STEP is minted by its own exchange against DAI, so its price is a fact anyone can read — the DAI reserve divided by the supply — with no oracle in between. Around it run a six-Box subscription network, a 1,000-piece NFT collection with a buy-back desk, a loyalty club and a revenue conduit, all governed by an on-chain DAO active since 15 June 2026 — and together they power four AI platforms.

Diagram: STEP at the centre; StepDex, Boxes, StepClub, the NFT Fund, the revenue conduit and the DAO around it; the four AI platforms — Irona, Psyvora, Taskora and Sonexa — on the outer ring.
Boxes
Six Boxes from $25 to $1,000, activated in order. Each includes months of Irona + Psyvora, and each payment is split by constant code: 82% to the daily DAI pool, 18% bought as STEP.
$25 → $1,000 · paid in DAI
StepClub
The loyalty layer. Box 2+ members share a pool fed by 5% of every Box, 10% of every subscription and DEX-routed deposits — paid out in bounded, resumable rounds.
984 members · 5 rounds completed
NFTs & marketplace
1,000 NFTs in nine tiers, from 100 to 25,600 DAI. StepNFTFund runs a buy-back desk, re-lists at the day price and pays daily yield to Gold and up.
520 / 1,000 minted
Revenue conduit
StepSubscription holds nothing: every subscription is split in the same transaction — 10% to StepClub, 20% to the NFT Fund, 70% to development & operations.

03The math
Price is a fact: reserve ÷ supply.
No oracle. No privileged mint. Every new STEP is minted by StepDex against DAI, so its price is the DAI reserve divided by the supply — and the constants in the code make that ratio rise on every buy, sell and transfer.
$0.0000194STEP price
258,978DAIDAI reserve
13.32 BSTEPSTEP supply
-
Buy — 4% fee
100% of your DAI enters the reserve. 96% is minted to you, 2% to StepClub, and 2% is never minted.
reserve grows faster than supply -
Sell — 100% burned
Every STEP you sell is burned, and you receive ~96% of its DAI value.
supply shrinks faster than reserve -
Transfer — 2% burned
Non-system transfers burn 2%. The reserve is untouched while supply falls.
reserve ÷ supply rises -

Internal AMM buys carry a 95% minimum-output floor, taken from a live quote.

04Where the money goes
Every payment is split by code — in the same transaction.
The splits below are constants in the deployed contracts. No one can retune them, and anyone can check them on Polygon.
Every Box payment
Boxes from $25 to $1,000, paid in DAI
- 82%Daily redistribution pool · stays as DAI
- 5%Subscriber · as STEP
- 5%Development treasury · as STEP
- 3%NFT reward pool · as STEP
- 5%StepClub pool · as STEP
18% is bought as STEP on the bonding curve — so every Box is also a buy that lifts reserve ÷ supply.
Every subscription
Plans and AI access, paid in DAI or STEP
- 70%Development & operations
- 20%StepNFTFund · buy-back desk and daily yield
- 10%StepClub pool
The StepSubscription conduit holds nothing: every payment leaves in the same transaction, split by a compile-time constant.
05Boxes
Six Boxes. Each one a purchase — AI included.
Boxes 0–5 are activated in order and paid in DAI. Every Box adds months of Irona + Psyvora — its price ÷ 25 — and the months stack.
- Box 0Starter$25+1 month
- Box 1Basic$75+3 months
- Box 2Standard$100+4 months
- Box 3Premium$300+12 months
- Box 4Elite$500+20 months
- Box 5VIP$1,000+40 months
Months of Irona + Psyvora stackStarter + Basic = 4 months · the full ladder = 80 months
A purchase, not a deposit
A Box is bought, not deposited: it comes with a product, and its payment is split by constants anyone can read on-chain.
- Months of Irona + Psyvora, credited to the activating wallet
- 18% bought as DAI-backed STEP on the bonding curve
- 82% stays as DAI in the daily redistribution pool
- Box 0 is the network entry point and the unit of DAO voting power
Balanced growth, not stacking
Daily rewards are weighted by the weaker side of a member's two-sided team — so the network rewards balanced growth, not stacking one side.
- 10% of each daily reward is reserved toward the member's next Box
- Distribution runs automatically every day — permissionless, anyone may trigger it
- Gas-bounded and resumable by design

07NFT marketplace
1,000 NFTs, nine tiers — and a buy-back desk funded by the products.
Step NFT 2025 is a fixed collection of 1,000 NFTs in nine tiers, from 100 to 25,600 DAI. StepNFTFund takes 20% of all subscription revenue and splits it 50/50 between a buy-back desk and a daily-yield vault.
Buy-back desk
Sell an NFT back for 50% of its tier price, paid in STEP. A strict first-in, first-out queue; bought-back NFTs are re-listed at the day price.
Daily yield
The yield vault pays every day to NFTs priced 400 DAI and up — Gold and above.
A share of every Box
Holders share the NFT reward pool, fed by 3% of every Box activation.
Books that balance
StepNFTFund's accounting balances to the wei — proven in the test suite.

StepRegistry is the DAO. Since its activation on 15 June 2026, the controller can no longer re-point any address: every change needs a Box-0-weighted vote over 7 days, then a 7-day veto window.

09Questions
The short answers.
What is StepNet?
StepNet is an on-chain economy on Polygon. It combines STEP — a DAI-backed token priced by its own reserve — with a bonding-curve exchange (StepDex), a subscription network of six Boxes, a loyalty club (StepClub), a 1,000-piece NFT collection with a buy-back desk, and a revenue conduit that splits every subscription on-chain. It is governed by an on-chain DAO and powers four AI platforms: Irona, Psyvora, Taskora and Sonexa.
How is the STEP price determined?
By the reserve itself: price = DAI in the reserve ÷ STEP in circulation. There is no oracle and no external price feed to manipulate. New STEP is minted only by StepDex in exchange for DAI, and the 1,000,000-STEP genesis supply was minted to the exchange at deployment — not to a team wallet.
Can anyone mint STEP or move my funds?
No admin key can. There is no privileged mint, no pause switch and no oracle; every new STEP is minted by StepDex against DAI. Fees, burns and revenue splits are compile-time constants, every value-moving function is reentrancy-guarded, and rewards are paid with pull-payments.
Who governs the contracts?
The DAO. StepRegistry — the address book the core contracts resolve their peers through — has been governed on-chain since 15 June 2026. Since then no address can be re-pointed directly: every change must pass a 7-day, Box-0-weighted DAO vote followed by a 7-day veto window, both fixed in the code. renounceControl(), which retires the controller's veto and is the next step toward full decentralisation, is scheduled for January 2027.
Which AI platforms does StepNet power?
Four independent products that share one wallet sign-in: Irona (irona.pro), an AI bodybuilding coach; Psyvora (psyvora.pro), a mental-wellbeing companion; Taskora (taskora.pro), an AI career coach and daily planner; and Sonexa (sonexa.pro), an AI music studio. Every subscription is paid on-chain and split in the same transaction — 10% to StepClub and 20% to the NFT Fund.
