# Energy System

Energy is required to earn tokens and Mystery Boxes, with every 1 Energy equating to 5 minutes of running session. Energy replenishment begins only after acquiring an NFT Sneaker. Users select a Sneaker, then press Start to begin.

Ensure you have Energy before moving, as no tokens are earned with zero Energy

Energy is refilled globally (for all players) at the same time, 4 times a day (i.e. every 6 hours) at these times: 

**1:00 AM, UTC / 7:00 AM, UTC / 1:00 PM, UTC / 7:00 PM, UTC** 

Once the Energy bar is full, refills stop and the existing energy has to be used first in order to receive the next refill. 

Maximum Energy can be achieved by holding more Sneakers in a given Realm. 

The maximum Energy for any realm is 20 energy, and an account can have a maximum of 60 energy (20 energy across 3 Realms). The calculation is as follows (assuming all sneakers are Common Rarity):

| Sneaker No. | Energy | Activity time (min) |
| ----------- | ------ | ------------------- |
| 1           | 2      | 10                  |
| 3           | 4      | 20                  |
| 9           | 9      | 45                  |
| 15          | 12     | 60                  |
| 30          | 20     | 100                 |

Bonus Energy (cumulative) for Higher Quality Sneakers:

* **Uncommon Sneaker:** +1 Energy
* **Rare Sneaker:** +2 Energy
* **Epic Sneaker:** +3 Energy
* **Legendary Sneaker:** +4 Energy

**EXAMPLE 1:**

1 Uncommon Sneaker + 1 Common Sneaker = 3 Total Energy (2 Base Energy + 1 Bonus)

**EXAMPLE 2:**

2 Rare Sneaker + 1 Common Sneaker = 8 Total Energy (4 Base Energy + 4 Bonus)

**Marketplace Listings and Transfers:**

* Listing a Sneaker on the Marketplace results in a loss of Energy and a reduction in Maximum Energy Cap.
* Transferring a Sneaker between accounts triggers a Cooldown period during which the Sneaker cannot be used.
