The Runestone rune project is about to Airdrop, detailing the key information you need to know.

Recently, a new rune project called Runestone has attracted market attention. This project is inspired by the previous $RISC rune project but aims to provide a more equitable distribution mechanism.

Project Background

Runestone is an experimental project initiated by the founder of a well-known NFT project. The founder believes that the distribution method of $RISC is unfair because $RISC was only airdropped to a portion of Bitcoin blue-chip NFT holders, and the team reserved 10% of the share. To address this, he decided to create the Runestone project and conduct a free airdrop to the Ordinals community. The project also raised $70,000 from the community as airdrop costs.

Airdrop Details

Runestone has completed the snapshot at block height 826,600 (coinciding with the first anniversary of Ordinals). The total project supply is 110,000 pieces, distributed under the principle of "one piece per address". The airdrop will be conducted in the form of inscriptions, and after the rune protocol is developed, Runestone runes will be airdropped to inscription holders at a ratio of 1:1.

The specific airdrop criteria consider the following factors:

• The number of runes held
• The file type of the rune (text/json, etc.)

The final announced specific standard is: Addresses with 3 or more non-text/JSON runes will qualify for the Airdrop.

Origin of Rune

The symbol "ᛤ" of Runestone comes from Anglo-Saxon runes, and its exact meaning is currently difficult to verify. The term "Rune" means "secret" in Greek and is said to have been created by the god Odin in Norse mythology. The earliest records of runes date back to AD 101 and are still associated with many esoteric knowledge.

Notes

1. The snapshot has been completed, no need to specifically mint runes.
2. The airdrop time has not yet been determined, it is recommended to pay attention to the social media updates of the project's founder.
3. This airdrop distributes inscriptions, and after the rune protocol is completed, runes will be airdropped at a 1:1 ratio.
4. Runestone adopts the Airdrop method, and users do not need to actively mint, be cautious of scams.
5. The rune protocol is scheduled to be released at the Bitcoin halving (i.e., block height 840000).

Currently, the preliminary Airdrop list for Runestone is available for inquiry, but it is not the final version, and there may be updates in the future. As the project progresses, more details are expected to be gradually disclosed. For participants in the Ordinals community, this is undoubtedly a new opportunity worth paying attention to.
