What This Is

RUNTIME ($RUN) is a token on Robinhood Chain whose trading fees fill a public, verifiable reserve. That reserve is redeemable in exactly one thing: machine work. Research, code, document processing, done by AI models inside our own application, the RUNTIME Workbench.

Holding tokens earns weekly usage credits paid out of ongoing inflows. Irrevocably destroying tokens (a "burn") converts them into a quantified claim on work. The reserve never pays out money. It owes work, not dollars.

That is the entire mechanism. Everything else in these pages is execution detail, and an honest account of what is unproven.

The system in one pass#

1. People trade the token on a Uniswap V4 pool. Each trade carries a 3.35% fee, paid in ETH; 0.35% goes to the launch platform and referrals, and 3.00% of trading volume reaches this project.
2. An immutable contract, the FeeRouter, splits that 3.00% with no admin and no adjustment path: two thirds to the reserve, one third to the team treasury that funds operations. In trade terms: 2.00% of volume to the reserve, 1.00% to the team. The reserve share is converted to stablecoins and held at a published address anyone can read on chain at any time.
3. The reserve backs two things and only two things: a weekly credit drip to holders, paid from inflows, and burn-to-runtime, where burned tokens become Workbench credits.
4. Credits buy jobs in the Workbench: a task goes in, a documented result comes out, metered in machine time.

The more the token is traded and the more the Workbench is used, the more redeemable work stands behind each remaining token. Whether anyone wants that work is the open question, and we treat it as one. See Risks.

What this is not#

• Not a security. No equity, no share, no dividend, no claim on any company.
• Not affiliated with Sunrun Inc., whose tokenized stock trades under the symbol RUN on the same chain, and not a tokenized security or stock token. See Verify It Yourself for how to tell the two apart.
• Not affiliated with Robinhood beyond running on the public, permissionless Robinhood Chain.
• Not redeemable for money. There is no cash-out path, by design, ever.
• Not a promise of price. The reserve defines a redemption value in work; it does not put a floor under the market price, and we never claim it does.

The token's name field, RUNTIME, is set at launch and can never be changed by anyone, including us; it renders in every wallet next to the colliding symbol. The full disclaimer text is not stored on chain as readable bytes on this venue; instead the launch permanently commits a fingerprint (metadataHash, the keccak256 of the published metadata document) in the launch event, so any later change to the text is detectable by anyone. That is tamper-evidence rather than storage, and we say which one it is. See Verify It Yourself.

Where things stand#

Nothing is deployed. No token address, no reserve address, no redemption contract address exists yet. When they do, they will be published on the reserve page of this site and nowhere else first. Until an address is published here, any token offered under the name RUNTIME or the ticker RUN is not this project. Token names and symbols on this chain are not unique and can be copied; the only identifier that cannot be copied is a contract address.

The Workbench goes publicly live, usable and payable without any token, before the token launches. That order is a design requirement, not a marketing choice: the service exists before anything referencing it trades.

How to read this documentation#

Every number in these pages traces to a source you can check: an on-chain read, a published formula, or a stated assumption marked as such. Where we project, we say ASSUMPTION. Where we do not know, we say so.
