RADIX WikiRADIX Wiki

Run Fly is a promotional video service on Radix that takes one uploaded master and returns branded social cuts in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9. Each render is quoted and paid in $RUNFLY through the Radix Wallet, and the job only starts once that payment confirms on ledger. The project describes the token plainly as the meter rather than a security: "In Studio, $RUNFLY pays for GPU / render utility", and the same page answers "Is $RUNFLY an investment product?" with "No".

It is unusual in the Radix ecosystem for the direction it ran: not a token issued to fund a product, but a meme coin that acquired one. The project's own timeline reads meme → community → token → NFTs → Video Engine → game, and it starts at the rly.fun launchpad.

Origin on rly.fun

The mascot, a fly named Pat, "flapped straight out of rly.fun" rather than out of a funding round. The ledger corroborates the lineage: read on 24 August 2026, the $RUNFLY resource carries the metadata tag rlyfun and an info_url of https://rly.fun, and its supply is exactly 1,000,000,000 tokens, the fixed per-coin supply that rly.fun mints for every launch. Ociswap records its listing on 20 March 2025, consistent with a bonding curve that graduated and migrated its liquidity there.

What followed the token was merchandise rather than protocol: a meme archive, a sold-out run of 100 "Pat in a Box" NFTs, a Telegram bot, and a browser game. The Video Engine arrived last, and the About page dates the whole arc with a single line: "Then somebody gave the fly software."

How a render is paid for

The published flow is six steps, and the payment sits in the middle of it rather than at signup:

  1. Connect the Radix Wallet through the Radix Connector; the connected account must already hold $RUNFLY.
  2. Upload a master (up to 3 GB or 60 minutes) and choose formats, brand pack, captions and optional face blur or voice masking.
  3. Press Create video, which accepts the quote and opens a payment modal showing the $RUNFLY amount and an approximate USD figure.
  4. Approve the transfer to the project's treasury account in the mobile wallet.
  5. The render is submitted automatically once the transaction is confirmed on the Radix Gateway.
  6. Download the cuts; cloud copies are purged after about seven days.

There is no subscription and no invoice. The FAQ also documents the failure mode that a pay-per-job model creates: if the wallet pays and the site then errors, the user is told not to pay again but to use a recovery form with the transaction id.

The token as a meter

$RUNFLY was read on ledger on 24 August 2026 at state version 554,435,224 (epoch 337,903). It is a fungible resource of divisibility 18 with a total supply of 1,000,000,000 and DenyAll on minter, burner, freezer and recaller as well as on each of their updater roles, so the supply is fixed by construction and cannot be reopened. Only the metadata roles remain with the owner.

That has a consequence worth stating plainly for anyone pricing a render. The float is the whole market, and the market is small. Read the same day, Ociswap reported a fully-diluted market capitalisation of about 428,800 XRD (roughly $386), pool liquidity of about 282,400 XRD (roughly $263), and seven-day volume of 12,948 XRD (about $11.64). Cumulative volume since the March 2025 listing was about 1.29 million XRD. A business buying renders at any scale would be a material share of that book.

The project lists three venues to acquire the token, Ociswap as the primary pool, Astrolescent as an aggregator and DeFiPlaza, and runs a staking pool on DeFiPlaza that splits a fixed weekly stash of 1 million $RUNFLY pro rata among stakers. Because the supply is not mintable, that stash is a transfer out of existing holdings rather than an emission.

Powered by Vyrol

The rendering itself is not built on Radix. Every page of the site carries the footer line "Powered by Vyrol", and Vyrol is an independent business-to-business video product that describes itself as "B2B video software for sales and customer teams" with its own pricing, templates and CRM campaign tooling. Run Fly is the Radix-facing front for that engine: the wallet connection, the per-render pricing in $RUNFLY and the on-ledger settlement are the parts that are native to this ecosystem, while the transcoding, captioning and reframing are bought in.

The split is worth noting when assessing the project's dependencies. A change of terms at Vyrol would reach the product directly, and nothing about the token's fixed supply insulates it from that.
