TLDR: The highly anticipated Runestones airdrop sent Ordinal inscriptions to over 112,000 Bitcoin wallets. Runestones are being distributed in batches by Ordi, with 81 batches of 1,400 to be sent over the next 48 hours. Runestone partner Ordinalsbots is helping with the airdrop, and marketplaces like Magic Eden and Ordinalswallet are working on indexing the inscriptions for trading on the secondary market.
