What is BSC Runner?

BSC Runner is a new innovative yield farm on Binance Smart Chain. The project launched 16/03/2021 at 1pm UTC.

BSC Runner has two tokens: Energy, which can be traded on Pancakeswap and Runner, which can be used to boost farm rewards and also participate in Marathons and PvP races. Deposit fees will be used to buy back and Burn the Energy token and also for the Marathon Race prize pool.

The initial launch features are:

· Liquidity mining to farm the Energy Token.

· The energy token can be burned to purchase Runners.

· Runners can be used to speed up farming up to an additional 200%.

· Energy can also be burned to buy packs that will randomly provide Energy, Runners or NFTs of differing rarity.

· NFTs can be stacked to gain an additional yield multiplier up to 30%.

· Migrator code removed

· Paid audit completed by TechRate

Security

Security is a big issue for all projects on BSC right now, with the amount of scams and rugs growing exponentially.

BSC Runner takes security very seriously and the migrator code has been removed and a 30 hour timelock is in place. In addition, before launch a paid TechRate audit was completed.

The contracts audited were:

EnergyToken: https://bscscan.com/address/0x1A566DD84262D51c7543a85408a8452BEe025841

RunnerNFT: https://bscscan.com/address/0x55Bb71382BAbdEe7f62E8B10FeAF41F94D8c8fCc

All auditing checks were passed with no issues found. You can view the TechRate audit on the website here: https://techrate.org/#product-list

In addition, a further more detailed line by line audit will be completed in the near future once additional features have been added (see Roadmap).

Runner Token Explained

The Runner token can be obtained by trading ENERGY for RUNNER. 1 ENERGY = 10 RUNNER. This can be done on the bscrunner.com website at the top of the screen:

The Runner token can be used in 3 ways on launch:

1. Stake Runner in farm to boost farming rewards up to +200%

2. Use Runner to open Lootboxes at a rate of 10 Runner = 1 lootbox

3. Use Runner to enter Marathon Race to win large prizes

Note once you stake your RUNNER in a Stadium or a Gym you cannot remove them and they are there forever.

The formula for working out the boosted APR Is:

Coefficient (COF) = user.runner * pool.totalLpSupply / pool.totalRunner / user.lpSupply
if COF > 2 {
COF = 2
}
Your APR = BASE_APR * (1 + COF)

Once you stake 1 Runner in a farm, you can use the calculator button to see how many Runner you need to achieve maximum rewards.

Staking Runner you are effectively “racing” against other players for rewards. If other stakers stake more Runner, you will need to stake more Runner to keep up the farming race and achieve maximum rewards.

The maximum APR shown on each farm is the maximum APR you can achieve if you stake the largest amount of Runners detailed on the calculator

Lootboxes

Lootboxes can be bought on the website on the lootbox page: https://bscrunner.com/lootbox. The cost of a lootbox is 10 Runner, or 50 Runner for a 5 x rewards lootbox.

The contents of each lootbox is random, but average rewards are:

0.17 Energy, 4 Runner, 18% chance of NFT.

NFT Probability:

0.1% Legendary
2% Gold
4% Silver
12% Bronze

From time-to-time Lootbox rewards are increased for special events.

NFTs

NFTs can be found in Lootboxes and can be staked in farms to boost your farming rewards above the maximum possible with Runner boost.

The current NFTs available are:

Legendary — 0.1% chance in Lootbox, +30% farming rewards
Gold — 2% chance in Lootbox, +20% farming rewards
Silver — 4% chance in Lootbox +10% farming rewards
Bronze — 12% chance in Lootbox +5% farming rewards.

Using an NFT can increase your farming rewards above the maximum, e.g. using Legendary NFT will give you APR +30% above your maximum.

Additional NFTs are planned to be added as detailed in the roadmap.

Marathon Race

The first Marathon Race will start on 19/03/2021. To compete in the Marathon you stake Runners. Runners staked in Marathon will be burned.

The Marathon Race Prize Pool comes from 50% of the deposit fees and will be split between 3 winners for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.

The first Marathon will be an EXCLUSIVE event for active community members and to ensure everything works as intended. After the first Marathon, it will be opened up to all community members on an ongoing basis.

Minimum entry: 1 Runner
Maximum Entry: no limit

From time to time, special Marathon events will be held with additional rewards.

Further NFTs will be added as detailed in the Roadmap that will boost chances of winning the Marathon.
