CyberKongz Reveals Bitcoin Rune Airdrop Details, “Mad Rush” Behind the Hack
While preparing for an upcoming Runes Bitcoin airdrop for owners, long time Ethereum The CyberKongz NFT project is gearing up to reward him Prometheans Holders of Ordinals, also aiming to attract and engage new audiences from the ETH to Bitcoin.
Launched before CyberKongz’s recent Runes token protocol Sort them The collection generated widespread outcry ahead of the promised delivery of the tokens to holders. And this week’s launch of the Runes token DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON suggests a potential trajectory for the launch.
Owners of Runestone Ordinal Resources received a coin toss meme Rune DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON on Wednesday. The DOG approached quickly double the volume than all other Bitcoin runes combined, with the increase benefiting holders in the process. CyberKongz owners are no doubt hoping for a similar outcome.
“I like to think of us as on-chain agnostics,” pseudonymous founding member of CyberKongz Enrico the Grape said Decipher. “We knew it would be a wild ride, but we wanted to get a first rune that was in line with the provenance and culture.”
The team has set its sights on ensuring one of Rune’s top 10 carvings following the Bitcoin halving last Friday. With 8 BTC (over $500,000) in the wallet, CyberKongz aimed to hack the Runes token on block 840,000 immediately after the halving, knowing the importance of the moment for the project’s provenance. To their surprise, the team was awarded the engraving of Runes n. 2.
“We were thinking more like a degeneration and less about dollars and cents,” Henry the Grape said of the effort and spending. “We asked ourselves, ‘How does it feel? What’s interesting about space?’”
When brainstorming potential names, he said they were determined to select one that encapsulated both the essence of Web3 and the story of CyberKongz. They settled on the name “⚡️DECENTRALIZED”—yes, with the emoji included.
Very early The rune names are long and strange, thanks to protocol restrictions, but CyberKongz aimed to keep things simple. Well, except for that lightning bolt emoji.
“It’s the only word in the top 40 [Runes]” said Henry the Grape. “We were early on ETH, it was very suitable for who we are as a project.”
The team shared exclusively with Decipher. With a total supply of 21 billion tokens, 91% will go to Prometheans holders, while 4.5% of the supply will be distributed among the top 20 Ordinal communities. The remaining 4.5% will go to launch contributors.
The snapshot of Prometheans owners will take place at block 841.269, estimated for Sunday afternoon (UTC). Of the 21,000 Prometheans assets launched earlier this month, more than 18,000 have been distributed to Ordinal communities.
“We chose communities that align with the values of CyberKongz and specifically the narrative of ⚡️DECENTRALIZED, which is about provenance and culture,” said Henry the Grape.
“We used a thoughtful script called Diamond Hand Script. So we photographed holders in various communities and based the launch on wait time,” she added. “It went to the 1,000 portfolios that held out the longest to reward people who bet early on the Ordinals.”
