BikeRush - blockchain in exercising

BikeRush is built around one of the world’s most popular healthy sports, cycling, it is the first project to effectively implement a functional Ride&Earn concept. Users equip themselves with NFT in the form of a bicycle. By cycling, racing, and sprinting outdoors, users will receive game tokens called BST. BST can be used in-game and can also be cashed out for profit.

BikeRush players own NFTs in the form of riding equipment, and by riding in the real world, they earn tokens BRT and BST and exchange them for income. If players want to earn BST, BikeRush’s NFT riding equipment is very important. Different riding equipment NFTs have different attributes, and these attributes will directly affect how players get tokens through riding. While users earn income while riding, BikeRush will collect a small tax to purchase carbon-neutral credits on the blockchain, giving people a way to contribute to curbing global warming. They are bridging the interaction space between the real world and virtual reality, and concede part of the profits to the response to climate change.

BikeRush adopts a dual-token model. BST tokens are used in the game with unlimited supply; BRT tokens belong to the governance tokens of the ecosystem, with a total supply of 5 billion pieces, which can be used to participate in challenges, pledge, charity, etc. BikeRush has established a dual-token economic model from the beginning of the project, which effectively avoids the game being affected by the rise and fall of governance tokens and benefits from growth. From the perspective of game sustainability, BikeRush game token BST is more important than governance token BRT, and it is something that players often “burn” in order to continue the game.  

Harry Le, Jessica Liu, Ross Hansmith are the cofounders of Bikerush. They have raised a total of $6.5M in funding.
