**Run Fly** is a [promotional video service on Radix](https://runfly.app/) 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](/contents/tech/core-protocols/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"](https://runfly.app/faq), 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](https://runfly.app/about), and it starts at the [rly.fun](/ecosystem/rly-fun) launchpad.

## Origin on rly.fun

The mascot, a fly named Pat, ["flapped straight out of rly.fun"](https://runfly.app/about) 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](/ecosystem/rly-fun). [Ociswap records its listing](https://api.ociswap.com/tokens/resource_rdx1t5uyf7s9rpde7pezhthsuygl0sk3gj0e09zzsvsmga69zxdd8y4lvq) 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."](https://runfly.app/about)

## How a render is paid for

The [published flow](https://runfly.app/guide) 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](https://runfly.app/guide).
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](https://runfly.app/faq) 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](https://api.ociswap.com/tokens/resource_rdx1t5uyf7s9rpde7pezhthsuygl0sk3gj0e09zzsvsmga69zxdd8y4lvq) 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](https://runfly.app/buy) to acquire the token, [Ociswap](/ecosystem/ociswap) as the primary pool, [Astrolescent](/ecosystem/astrolescent) as an aggregator and [DeFiPlaza](/ecosystem/defiplaza), and runs a staking pool on DeFiPlaza that [splits a fixed weekly stash of 1 million $RUNFLY](https://runfly.app/stake) 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](https://vyrol.io/)", and Vyrol is an independent business-to-business video product that describes itself as ["B2B video software for sales and customer teams"](https://vyrol.io/) 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.
