Author: Nancy, PANews

Driven by Runestone's continued new highs and the upcoming launch of Runes, the popularity of runes continues to rise and the ecosystem is becoming increasingly diversified. In this article, PANews lists 22 popular projects in the rune track, covering multiple tracks such as NFT, infrastructure, DeFi and trading markets.

Runestone

Runestone is a project that is airdropped to the Ordinals community for free without reservation. In just one month, it has become the second largest NFT by market value, but the developer Leonidas prefers to call it a Meme coin with no practical use. According to Leonidas' latest disclosure, Runestone holders will receive three types of Runes Meme coins airdrops, one of which is planned to be carried out this month, and another is expected to be airdropped within the year.
