Since the launch of Rune Protocol on April 20, it has been criticized by people who say that it has no money-making effect. I guess those who say this probably did not participate in the new listing of Rune before May last year, and do not understand the correlation between paper-washing and skyrocketing. The most important thing at present is to find potential projects in the Rune track and ambush them before the wind blows. In the entire Rune track, Runes 0 to 9 can be said to be the top priority. When the track as a whole has not risen sharply, it is very necessary to analyze these ten runes and find the currency that should be ambush.

Rune 0: UNCOMMON•GOODS

- Project owner: @rodarmor

- Total amount: unlimited

- Time: It will take 4 years to complete the excavation

- Pre-mined: 0

- Owners: 9,124

- Distribution method: Mint

- Opinion: Rune 0 is hard-coded in the index by Casey, the founder of Ordinals. As Rune 0, its symbolic meaning is greater than its value. Another feature is that it will be mined for four years. Based on this feature, I think the value of this rune will be infinitely close to instant Gas before it is hyped, so my strategy is:

- Only when Gas is below 30 or lower, digging Rune 0 will have a price advantage.

- When the Gas price rises to 500, 1000 or higher, sell it. This is a more stable way to play.

- It is possible that some project owners will airdrop to the holders of Rune 0. You can choose to hold it in different wallets to maximize your benefits.

- This is the correct way to play Rune 0

Rune No. 1: Z•Z•Z•Z•Z•FEHU•Z•Z•Z•Z•Z

- Project owner: @RuneFehu

- Total amount: 111,111,111

- Pre-mine: 1,111,111

- Holders: 21,768

- Distribution method: 1% mint, other parts not announced

- Opinion: The Rune No. 1 project team pre-mined 99% of the tokens when it was deployed, leaving only 1% for retail investors to mine. Although the project team emphasized on Twitter that people should not mine at high gas prices, retail investors still mined all the tokens at high gas prices, betting that it would be destroyed. However, judging from the tweets released by the project team, there is no sign of this.

- From the current information of the project party, we can know two points:

1. Sufficient funds: sufficient funds to grab the No. 1 position;

2. Technical success. The project owner stated in a tweet on the 21st that the team has made a lot of efforts to grab the No. 1 position, including restructuring the ord client, and also reducing transaction fees.

- The project team has publicly stated on Twitter that there is no need to worry if the project fails to reach No. 1, as there will be a way for retail investors to get a share later on. However, the founder of Runestone complained that this was an ICO.

- Right now on Twitter, most opinions about Rune No. 1 are based on speculation. Before the official information comes out, there is no need to invest a large amount of money for the time being. You can choose to prepare a small amount.

Rune 2: DECENTRALIZED

- Project owner: @decentralized02 (official rune promoter designated by project owner @CyberKongz)

- Total amount: 21,000,000,000

- Pre-mining: 100%

- Owner: /

- Distribution method: Airdrop

- Views:

The distribution method of this project is airdrop, and you can get it as long as you hold the Prometheus NFT held by the project party.

The official snapshot block is 841,269, which was taken around 24:00 on the 28th, which means you can still get airdrops if you buy now.

But the actual situation is that because the rune track was fud as a whole, Prometheus NFT once fell to 0.04 on the 24th, but then people realized that the project had not yet taken a snapshot, and it was pulled up to 0.08 today.

Currently, Prometheus' market value has reached 120 million, which is about one-sixth of its peak period before the Runestone snapshot.

Since it is also a first-tier rune project, if it works harder before the snapshot, it is estimated that it can reach one-fifth to one-third of the market value of Runestone.

But due to the full expectations, it is still at a high level. According to the experience of Runestone and RSIC snapshots, it is likely to fall to one-third of the price after the snapshot, and the airdropped runes will also be sold off. It should be a better choice to buy it at that time.

In the long run, I personally still look forward to the gameplay of Prometheus. Old investors should know that the project owner of Prometheus is the old NFT blue chip Confucius in the last bull market, who once created some value-added gameplay such as $BANANA. But in the end, it depends on how far the rune track can go.

Rune No. 3: DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON

- Project owner: @LeonidasNFT

- Total amount: 100,000,000,000

- Pre-mining: 100%

- Holders: 72,502

Rune No. 3 is the airdrop rune for Runestone holders. This project is already the most well-known project in the ecosystem. The marketing ability of its founder @LeonidasNFT has made this project the largest MEME in the rune track.

The Runestone project was airdropped to the wallets of qualified holders on March 15th. The launch price was around 1000U at that time. I also bought it directly in the VIP group on March 16th.

Rune No. 3 is the leader in the current rune track. To talk about its growth space is actually to talk about whether the rune track has more space than the inscription track.

From my personal understanding, the space of Rune Track is at least comparable to that of Inscription Track. It solves at least several problems:

First, there is the issue of project revenue. Because of the "Fair Mint" issuance mechanism, the project naturally lacks follow-up motivation. Therefore, last year, many project owners who issued inscriptions only used inscriptions as a traffic-generating tool. Even if there is a forced combination mechanism, it cannot be sustained. This is far inferior to the pre-mining of the rune project, which directly anchors the project's revenue ratio and ensures that the project and the rune project's value-added advance and retreat together.

Secondly, the gameplay is richer. The Rune project has more room for imagination in this round of Pre Rune mining gameplay, airdrops, and the fact that some of the pre-mining will be reserved for the project's later operations and business. In fact, it is very similar to the normal project coin issuance mechanism.

At the same time, the on-chain garbage problem that the Inscription Protocol was criticized for last year does not exist in the Rune track, which makes it even more legitimate.

If it is recognized that the rune track can be comparable to the inscription in the future, then rune No. 3 may become the next Ordi.

At the same time, the original distribution mechanism of Runestone No. 3 was very fair. It is said that it was specially designed because the founder complained about RSIC’s reservation. Therefore, Runestone No. 3 has the highest MEME consensus in the Rune community.

The number of Rune 3 holders is as high as 70,000. Based on the principle of "attention is also an economy", Rune 3 has attracted the attention of the rune track. Therefore, Runestone has also become the airdrop entry point for many project parties to enter the rune track.

Therefore, the expected value of the subsequent Rune No. 3 is mainly the following points:

1. Will it be listed on major exchanges such as Binance and OK

2. Are there more project parties that continue to airdrop?

3. Will the founder LeonidasNFT design more gameplay?

If the above expectations are achieved, the valuation space of Rune No. 3 can be further increased.

Rune No. 4: THE•RUNIX•TOKEN

- Project owner: @BVMnetwork

- Total amount: 21,000,000,000

- Pre-mining: 100%

- Distribution method: Mining + Airdrop

- Views

The project owner of Rune 4 is BVM, which has been working on BTC L2. This time, for the Rune ecosystem, it also launched its own Rune DEX product Runechain.

According to the current plan of the project party, Rune RUNIX will have certain empowerments in the later stage, including enjoying transaction discounts, obtaining transaction income, participating in governance, etc.

According to the official tweet, there are currently three ways to obtain Runix runes:

First, you can buy it directly on Uniswap, SOL, and major rune trading markets such as OK and Magiceden.

Second, hold NFTs for mining. The official has designed a set of mining gameplay, which is a bit complicated. The general rule is that users can hold the officially issued NFTs and activate them for mining later. At the same time, this NFT has different rarity. If you want to speed up mining, you need to buy more races and more NFTs to mine. At present, this set of gameplay is a bit complicated, and the market is not very willing to buy it. The price of NFTs continues to fall.

Third, pledge. Stake RUNIX, RSIC, SATOSHI, ELSA, WANKO, etc. to earn RUNIX. The project party has allocated 10% of the tokens in this area.

It now seems that although the Runix project has spent a lot of time on mechanism design, it may be because of the complexity of the mechanism and the fact that it does not bring the same money-making effect as other projects, and has been ignored by retail investors. The performance of NFT and Rune Coin is not good. After some gains on the first day of listing, the coins have been in a downward trend.

However, the market value has now dropped to only 2 million, and the project has also increased the on-chain trading liquidity of ETH and SOL. Aggressive users may already be observing the opportunity to buy.
