💼Business Model

Gear Runner’s business model is built on alignment between profitability and sustainability. Every source of revenue also acts as a token sink, ensuring that ecosystem growth strengthens economic balance instead of causing inflation.

Core Revenue Streams

• Box sales: Starter, Random, and Discount Boxes.

• Repair and upgrade fees: Recurring token spending as players maintain or improve gear.

• Marketplace fees: Maker/taker model, partly burned.

• Event Entry Fees: Tournament and seasonal competition participation.

• Alliance Creation & Membership: Paid in $GEAR to form or join alliances.

Each revenue stream also contributes to token burns or sinks, ensuring value recirculates into the system. This creates a balanced loop where new rewards are offset by recurring demand, keeping ROI stable and sustainable.

USP Highlight – Business Model

• Dual-Utility Design: Every revenue stream doubles as a sustainability mechanism.

• Anti-Inflation Mechanism: Tokens are consistently burned through player activity.

• Circular Flow: Spending, burning, and earning are part of one closed loop.

• Long-Term Scalability: Designed for years of operation, not short-term ROI speculation..
