FAQ
ShopNEXT is an innovative Web3 app that helps you make money as you shop. With just a single app, you can shop and earn reward tokens up to 30% from the top brands on earth, whether online or offline. ShopNEXT is empowered by partnerships with Visa, Google Cloud, and Binance Pay.
STE, stands for Shop-To-Earn, is the rewards token of ShopNEXT. STEs are minted when people shop with their VISA cards and they are burned through gameplay activities like recharging, boosting, and redeeming NFT card cases. You also can withdraw the earned STE and sell it on the exchange.
- Is STE unlimited supply? Yes and no. Theoretically, we can mint it more to reward users on their shopping. But we expect users to use their earned STE to redeem NFT card case so basically most earned STE will be stayed in our gameplay and finally burned. Moreover, users need to use their STE to engage with our gameplay via boosting and recharge NFT cards, these STE will also be burned finally. Thus, STE supply will be increased over time but at a steady rate when our ecosystem grows.
- Will STE price head to zero over time? ShopNEXT can generate economic revenue through shopping activities. To strengthen our uniqueness, we define the first-ever term called External Profit Reserve (EPR). All the profit from potential business (affiliate business, interchange fee, merchant commission) will be stored in the EPR to back all STE tokens issued on the market. The purpose of the EPR is not to make STE a stable-coin; it is to make sure every token has an intrinsic value that is generated by our users through their shopping.

NFT cards are an utility NFT collection created by ShopNEXT on BNBChain. NFT cards help owners earn more STE rewards when shopping at Visa-accepting merchants and increase the reward index. See the extra reward calculation formula here.
NFT cards are unique and differentiated by 4 attributes: Earning, Karma, Capacity, and Power.
- Earning: Determine how much STE owners can earn (vary from 1 to 100). Earning can be increased by boosting.
- Karma: Determine how lucky the owner is in opening card cases (vary from 1 to 100). Karma is fixed and cannot be increased by boosting.
- Capacity: Determines how resilient the card is (vary from 1 to 100). Capacity is fixed and cannot be increased by boosting.
- Power: Determines the energy level of each card. An unused NFT card will have 100% power which will be decayed after every usage depending on its capacity point.
There are 4 types of NFT cards that are defined by their earning parameters and 10 different NFT card categories that cover all common shopping areas.
Users can obtain NFT cards by:
