Runwago wants to make running pay—without ponzinomics. Founder Martin explains how their SportsFi app lets everyday runners monetize realistic goals using a transparent “challenge pool” model: everyone joins a challenge, finishers get 100% of their stake back plus rewards funded by those who don’t finish. No shoe NFTs, no inflationary reward token.
