# Tokenomics

Run3scape ensures a balanced ecosystem between earning, claiming, buying and selling $RUNE tokens. This balance benefits both active gamers and token holders who invest in the game. Here are the key elements of Run3scape tokenomics:

## Basic Tokenomics

**Total Supply:** 1,000,000,000 $RUNE (1 billion)

## **Burning mechanism**

When players claim their earned $RUNE tokens from their account panel, 1% of the claimed amount is burned. This deflationary measure reduces the total supply of $RUNE, potentially increasing its price and providing value to both gamers and investors.\

## **Buybacks and Profit Sharing**

1. **Regular Buybacks:**
   * Run3scape will conduct regular buybacks of $RUNE tokens to keep the earning pool attractive and support the token's price. This ensures that the ecosystem remains sustainable and profitable for both players and investors.
   * Players can purchase in-game skins, cosmetics, and other items using either points or $RUNE tokens. When players use $RUNE tokens for these purchases, the tokens are burned, further reducing the supply. If they purchase with dollars, Run3scape will use a portion of the amount to distribute as profit share - in SOL - among token holders.\

## **Early and Long-Term Strategy**

1. **Early State:**
   * Run3scape’s pre-alpha will focus on delivering the core gameplay experience, including basic mechanics such as skilling, combat, item interaction, and social features.
2. **Long-Term Sustainability:**
   * Run3scape aims to evolve into a more mature and feature-rich MMORPG, expanding its gameplay systems, improving visuals, and deepening the overall game world with consistent updates and content.
