Despite the recent decline in the market, everyone's expectations and enthusiasm for "runes" are still undiminished. As a degen player focusing on the NFT field, Xiaobian has two deep feelings in the past week, one is that Bitcoin NFT is the only place in the NFT market that has gathered the attention of China and foreign countries and is not "PvP". The second is that the "rune" project has completely become the main line of the Bitcoin NFT market, although the "little wizard" Bitcoin Wizards and the $WZRD Token on BRC-20 have risen nearly 5 times and 15 times respectively in the past week, and the "wizard" meme has regained market attention and the strength of the "puppet monkey" Bitcoin Puppets has a strong correlation, and the main reason for the recent detonation of the "puppet monkey" is the "rune".
Some time ago, I did an inventory of the "rune" project for you (related reading: Will Runestone bring rune hype? List of 14 runes worth paying attention to). One month has passed, and "Rune" has not only become the current absolute main line of the Bitcoin NFT market, but also the sought-after "Rune" project has also undergone some changes. Now, "dry mining" (i.e., the NFT itself is just a "mining machine") projects are no longer attractive enough, and only PFP projects with attention and community, or projects with "rune infrastructure" narratives (such as Launchpad, DEX, browsers, etc.) can stand out. After all, after the final issuance of the Token, the competition is not "mining tricks", but a real consensus or narrative competition.
The more well-known "rune" projects have risen to a relatively high position, such as Runestone, Rune Pups, RSIC, etc. Here's a summary of some of the latest Ordinals projects worth paying attention to.
Prometheans by CyberKongz
CyberKongz, an OG project that pioneered NFT staking and mining gameplay in ETH, has come to the Bitcoin NFT ecosystem. This project used to be an old blue chip at the T0 level, with a floor price of nearly 200 ETH at its peak, and its Token $BANANA had an all-time high price of $105, with a peak market capitalization of nearly $90 million.
Prometheans is CyberKongz's official "rune" project, although the final goal to be achieved is "rune" Token, but this is the most attentive "rune" project in "picture artistry" that the editor has seen so far, CyberKongz seriously introduced the art design behind the project on official Twitter, it can be said that it is a "mining machine" with the standard of "collectibles"...
The project will be released this week, Free Mint, with a total supply of 21,000, 85% allocated to CyberKongz's selected Ordinals ecosystem cooperation projects, and 15% to CyberKongz holders.
Starlight Runes by Rosentica
Rosentica is an anime NFT project founded on ETH by artists @rmflawha12 and @TabinekoKIKI. Following the craze of "runes", Rosentica is also coming to the Bitcoin NFT ecosystem to issue "Runes" "Runes".
The project will distribute Free Mint, with a total supply of 2,000, the majority to Rosentica NFT holders, and the remainder to its chosen Ordinals ecological cooperative community.
Everyday Satoshis
First of all, I want to say that this project will have a token $CLTR on the open card, but I am not sure if this token will be a "rune".
In fact, the editor paid attention to this project at the end of September last year. Now half a year has passed, halving and "runes" are coming, and this project has finally been unveiled.
Artists @Degen_Alfie have proven themselves on ETH, such as the image below, "Degen Alphabet", which sold for 69.420 ETH on SuperRare in October 2022.
Everyday Satoshis is a pixel art series created to commemorate the halving, with a total of 5586 pieces. From the Bitcoin genesis block to the upcoming fourth halving, 15 years, 5586 days. Each pixel has a piece of data showing the date and the daily maximum price of Bitcoin against the US dollar for 5,586 days since the genesis block to the fourth halving.
@Degen_Alfie revealed that shortly after the launch of Everyday Satoshis, he and his team will launch a V1 version of their blockchain art marketplace, which currently has 12 members and that he raised a small round of angel investment in January this year. So this is not only a good halving commemorative Bitcoin NFT art series, but also a bit of a genesis series for the new blockchain art market.
BLIFStone
Benefits that Opal Protocol gives to Runestone holders. If you own Runestone, don't forget to like and retweet the tweet, and leave a bc1p address where you own Runestone.
To be honest, I don't really understand what Opal Protocol is trying to do... But there is one thing that I understand, that is, what they want to do will be driven by their Token $BLIF, and $BLIF will be a token that is fused with ETH + BRC-20 + runes. From a degen perspective, Opal was a big deal, and Animoca Brands and Darewise were the Founders of the project. Darewise is a subsidiary of Animoca, and they have a game called "Life Beyond" that announced last year that they will migrate to the Bitcoin ecosystem, and have also released a series called "Sparks", which belongs to the high-profile social circle.
KarmaStone
OCM (OnChainMonkey) issued their own token $KARMA on the Tap protocol earlier this year, and now they continue to do things with "runes", and the specific details are yet to be revealed.
The Rune Hunt
@RuneX_Tech used Unreal Engine to assemble a web game and "pre-mined" their "rune" tokens by playing the game. Xiaobian has to sigh that the attention competition between infrastructure is different...
Yesterday, after the game was launched, the server was directly crowded.,When to open it again to wait for the notice of the project party.,You can pay attention to it.。
In addition, in the competition for the "Rune" infrastructure project to attract attention, the editor believes that RuneX and Runes Terminal, which has just released the Ape Odyssey series, are the best performers so far.
Pixel Pix
@gamestarter own game studio, GGXYZ Studio, is going to post a P2E game on Bitcoin, and there are not many details at the moment.
epilogue
Recently, there are too many new Bitcoin NFT projects issued every day, and many of my friends are playing at least 3 a day. Now the winning rate of new projects is indeed relatively high, but everyone should not be too FOMO, and maintain a cautious attitude of careful selection.
For the "rune" project, I think we can expect to see more NFT projects of ETH and even other chains enter the Bitcoin ecosystem, after all, "rune" is one of the hottest narratives in the entire crypto circle. When choosing a "rune" project, the core is still to examine the project's own influence and community quality, and it is a bit difficult to make a project out of the encirclement with some fancy mining gameplay.
In the face of multiple projects being minted in one time period in a day, you may need to reasonably cut more UTXOs, because the confirmation time of two blocks of Bitcoin is too long and unstable, and the chain is very moody and may even miss the minting time of some projects. We recommend that you refer to this article: What preparations do users need to make for the Runes protocol to participate in the upcoming launch?
Finally, I wish you all a fruitful rune season, and I will try my best to update you with new items worth paying attention to.
