Blockchain gaming app STEPN is integrating Apple Pay as a fiat onramp to make in-app purchases more accessible. This will allow users to purchase non-fungible token (NFT) sneakers necessary for gameplay without having to connect a crypto wallet. The move is aimed at onboarding the next 100 million users to Web3, and STEPN claims to be the first blockchain gaming app to secure Apple Pay integration. While STEPN scaled to over 700,000 monthly active users in May 2022, it has since declined to about 23,000, and the integration is seen as a way to remove barriers to entry for new players.
