BITCOIN RUNE AWARDS
Introducing the Bitcoin Rune Awards
Celebrating One Year of Runes
One year ago, Bitcoin Runes reshaped the future of tokens on Bitcoin. What began as a protocol has become a movement, a culture fueled by memes, lore, builders, traders, and unstoppable energy. To mark this historic moment, OrdinalNews proudly presents the first-ever Bitcoin Rune Awards.
This is a tribute to the chaos, the creativity, and the code. A chance to honor the best projects, teams, influencers, wallets, memes, and vibes that shaped the first chapter of Bitcoin Runes.
Why We Created the Bitcoin Rune Awards
At OrdinalNews, we’ve been here since block zero of Runes. We witnessed the launch, the degen wave, the rise of free and fair meme coins, and the unstoppable creativity across the ecosystem.
We created the Bitcoin Rune Awards to give the community a voice. To celebrate those who didn’t just build, but created culture. Whether you’re holding $DOG, laughing with $BILLY, backing $MIM, minting with $RSIC, or vibing with $PUPS, this is your moment to vote and be heard.
The Concept Behind the Awards
This isn’t a leaderboard or popularity contest. It’s a Rune-native celebration, built for the community.
There are 10 categories. Each one highlights a different pillar of the ecosystem, from memes to infrastructure, lore to vibes. You’ll see 5 preset finalists, but also have the option to type in and select any other project or name.
It’s flexible, fair, and fun, designed to reward both recognition and discovery.
How Voting Works
- 10 categories
- 5 preset answers per category
- “Type & Select” field available for every category
- Vote once per category every 24 hours
- Voting runs from Tuesday, April 22, 2025 UTC at 05:00 UTC to Friday, April 25, 2025 UTC at 15:00 UTC
You can support the projects you believe in, big or small. Whether it’s a major wallet provider or your favorite underground Rune memecoin, your voice matters.
If you’re repping $DOG, $BILLY, $MIM, $PUPS, $RSIC, or any of the hundreds of Rune tokens, you’re part of this story.
