“Blockchain technology is uniquely poised to disrupt how companies operate. Particularly for eCommerce, merchants and consumers would benefit from a decentralized platform operating on a blockchain to reduce transaction overheads and costs. We are investing in this technology now to prepare for the demands of the new age economy. The success of our efforts today could pave the way for how we transact in the future.” 

Runs.com will be disrupting traditional eCommerce platforms which use SKU’s as the fundamental way to identify units. Moving away from the conventional SKU,s Runs.com has patented a new method of identification and tracking called an XKU–or ‘Experience Keeping Unit’. Runs.com XKU’s will track three unique parameters: Story, Source, and Sustainability. 

What is an XKU? 

An XKU is a product and service identification code for an item that helps track the item for inventory. It can be assigned to both physical and non-physical products in an inventory. 

Unlike SKU’s whose code usually reveals a product’s details, such as color, size, style, price, manufacturer, and brand, an XKU includes the basic elements of an SKU plus three S-factors; Story, Source, and Sustainability. Each XKU has a unique experience attached to it and is secured on the Blockchain as a ledger entry. 

The securities sold in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be resold absent registration under, or exemption from registration under, such Act.
