Runestone
Runestone is a project within the Bitcoin blockchain ecosystem, spearheaded by Leonidas, a prominent figure in the NFT and crypto communities. Utilizing the Ordinals Protocol, Runestone inscribes digital artifacts directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain. The project began with a symbolic "parent inscription" sent to a wallet believed to be associated with Satoshi Nakamoto. A historic auction of the first Runestone funded an airdrop to over 112,000 early adopters.
One of Runestone's significant achievements was an airdrop that distributed tokens to 112,383 wallets, marking one of the largest distributions on the Bitcoin network. With the introduction of DOG, the first memecoin on the Bitcoin blockchain via the Runes Protocol, the initiative rewarded Runestone holders, integrating the DOG community with existing Runestone enthusiasts, and showcasing a model of community rewards in the cryptocurrency space.
DOG was born from an airdrop program specifically for the Bitcoin Ordinals community, making it a central component of the Runestone project.
Tokenomics
DOG operates with a total supply of 100 billion tokens. The project had no pre-sales, no allocation of tokens to team members or insiders, and no involvement of paid opinion leaders or promotions. All tokens were distributed at 100% of the circulating supply. DOG focuses on organic growth through community support and refrains from paying centralized exchanges for listings.
Currently, DOG can be traded on various exchanges, including Gate.io, OKX, Bitrue, BitMart, Bitget, and BingX.
