The Runestone rune project is about to Airdrop, detailed analysis

The Runestone rune project has attracted significant attention in the market, stemming from its innovative airdrop + mining + rune gameplay. The emergence of this project can be traced back to the success of another rune project, which saw its price soar from $200 to $1700 due to its unique gameplay.

For those who missed the previous rune project Airdrop, a fairer rune project Runestone (symbol: ᛤ) is about to conduct a free Airdrop to active Ordinals addresses.

1. Origin of the Project

Runestone is an experimental project initiated by the founder of Ordinals, inspired by previous rune projects.

The founder believes that the previous rune project had unfairness in its distribution, such as only airdropping to a portion of Bitcoin blue-chip NFT holders while the team retained 10% of the share. He disagrees with the project’s self-proclaimed promotion as the first rune and hints at the unfairness of its distribution method.

Based on these considerations, the founders decided to launch Runestone, offering a free Airdrop to the entire Ordinals community. To support this Airdrop, community members collectively raised $70,000 as the Airdrop cost.

2. Airdrop Rules

Runestone has completed its snapshot at block height 826,600 (coinciding with the one-year anniversary of Ordinals).

A total of 110,000 pieces, with each address able to receive a maximum of one piece, will be airdropped in the form of inscriptions. Once the rune protocol is completed, Runestone runes will be airdropped to inscription holders at a ratio of 1:1.

Airdrop standards consider the following factors:

• The number of runes held
• The file types of runes (text/json), different formats may have different allocation weights.
• Including cursed runes

The final published specific criteria are: Addresses with 3 or more non-text/JSON inscriptions will qualify for the Airdrop.

3. The Origin of ᛤ and Rune

ᛤ Originating from Anglo-Saxon runes, its exact meaning is lost to history.

The term 'rune' means "secret" in Greek, and it is said to have been created by the god Odin. Odin is regarded as the god of magic, war and death, as well as the god of knowledge. The earliest recorded use of runes dates back to 101 AD, and they are still widely used in various fields of occult knowledge.

4. Notes

• The snapshot has ended, no need to specifically engrave runes.
• The airdrop time has not yet been determined. You can follow the founder's social media for the latest information.
• This airdrop is for runes, and the runes will be airdropped at a 1:1 ratio after the Rune protocol is completed.
• Runestone is a pure Airdrop project, no minting operations required, beware of scams.

Currently, the preliminary Airdrop list for Runestone is available for inquiry, but it is not the final version and there may be updates later. I hope all followers can successfully receive the Airdrop of Runestone.
