Launched in mid-March, Runestone has quickly become a popular NFT project on the Bitcoin blockchain, attracting 77,000 owners and seeing a 350% price increase in the past two weeks, with a floor now at 0.085 BTC.
A thriving project in the Web3 industry, Runestone is a decentralized, transparent and volunteer initiative that currently ranks as the second largest NFT project with a market cap of $655.4M, surpassing BAYC by $434.5M.
The Bitcoin Ordinals-based Runestone, listed on the NFT marketplace MagicEden, was broadcast to early adopters of the Ordinals protocol, which made it possible to create Bitcoin NFTs by linking data to specific satoshis.
This top NFT collection about the Ordinals ecosystems is the brainchild of Leonidas, the founder of Ord.io, a platform for browsing and voting on ordinal inscriptions. Following the successful airdrop of Runestone, Leonidas is now preparing to airdrop a “Dog” meme coin to Runestone holders. With this move, the aim is to bring the market-wide meme coin mania to the largest blockchain and bring new people on board with Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, Runestone creator Léo Caillard launches his new project, The Block. A rising star in the traditional art industry who has previously collaborated with the Louvre Museum is all set to lend space with another Bitcoin-based collection set to launch at Magic Eden on April 11. For this sale, Runestone holders will be automatically whitelisted, with a snapshot of addresses taken 24 hours before the coin.
This is Léo Caillard’s first Ordinals collection with 1000 pieces, each with a coin price of 0.015 for Runestone holders and 0.02 BTC for the general public.
This collection includes three different blocks, each with unique mechanisms that allow their holders to transform them into real, exclusive and unique marble sculptures. Of the total, 600 pieces will be of the white marble block, 300 pieces of the black marble block and 100 pieces of the orange marble block.
Owning the block gives you the right to claim the handmade, high-quality physical artwork. And when converted, the blocks are burned, leading to a depletion of the Ordinals collection.

Speaking to Websea on Tuesday, Léo Caillard described the origins of his collection and described how it all started with the concept of inscribing something very heavy with a lot of detail, high definition and pure 3D files.
With Runestone he wanted to merge the modern and the classical, allowing you to be in the past and the future at the same time. He associated the project with vitality, life and longevity.
Now with the Block collection he combines digital and physical artworks to evoke emotions and share something special with the viewer. The only difference lies in the tool or medium users; everything else, he claims, remains the same.
He also wants to open a dialogue between digital and physical art, because he believes that this will be the next big step in the art world, and that the market and institutions must be prepared for it.
Léo Caillard, known for his marble sculptures from his Parisian studio, explained that just like his physical pieces that last a lifetime and communicate with future generations, his digital artworks will also be preserved for millennia.
While many people outside the blockchain space see this as market speculation, Léo Caillard claims it is more than just that: it is a meaningful and artistic place that is only seeing the beginning of amazing creativity and will be much bigger than what we have now to see.
As for the choice to go with the Bitcoin blockchain, he believes it is the “most resilient” in terms of long-term digital data. This allows him to create something that will last for centuries, hoping that his digital work will become a symbol of the 2000s.
