Gm!
Here are a few key updates on the collection as we head into an important two weeks:
Airdrops to Block Holders – All STONES airdrops have been sent based on the February 6th snapshot. Black and Orange Block Holders have also received an extra STONE in recognition of their rarity. New artworks will soon be available for conversion in the BLOCK collection, and this presents a unique opportunity to acquire physical artworks at a cost lower than in real life. The deflationary system for both BLOCK and STONES will continue over time as they are converted into works of art.
MERGING – We’re aiming to launch next Monday. We decided to hold off this week since attention is currently on the launch of other collections. We prefer to wait for the right moment when the community’s focus is at best. A detailed Twitter post and an announcement here in 2–3 days will explain how Merging works and outline the different approaches available.
Upcoming AMA – We will now hold an AMA every two weeks on Twitter and at the end of each month on Discord. This will be a great opportunity to engage more directly with the community and discuss the project’s future.
LORD•OF•THE•STONE Rune Token & Physical Art Marketplace – Once Merging is complete, this will become our primary focus. We are already in discussions with key players in the ecosystem to ensure the best possible listing for the token after the airdrop.
STONES ARMY – Community is at the heart of everything. A Media Kit is available on the website, featuring high-quality visuals about the STONES. We’re gathering everyone interested in actively promoting the project—if you’d like to get involved, feel free to reach out to the moderators on Discord ( link in Bio ).
Thank you all for your support.
STONES ARE FOREVER.
After a few weeks of working on the backend of the art and development tech, I’ll be back to working daily to prepare for the second phase of Art on Bitcoin. STONES and BLOCKS are being taken to the next level, merging physical and digital art like never before. Up, we build! Down, we build! STONES ARE FOREVER.
GM to everyone, especially to those who BLIFE in something!

These last few weeks have been a challenge for the Ordinals community and, more generally, for the entire Web3 ecosystem.
In these times, it is difficult to keep moving forward, to create, and to maintain a clear vision.
I started marble sculpting more than 18 years ago. It took me 6 years to create my first "acceptable" piece, and another 4 years to meet my first collectors and see my works enter important collections.
On-chain digital art has only existed for a few years. The market is something short-term, but art operates in an entirely different time dynamic. The Impressionists of the early 20th century took 30 years to be accepted as artists, and a century later, their paintings are breaking all records.
From the marble block to the blockchain, what we are creating together here is meant to last.
I am not doing this for myself, nor for "success"; it would be easier for me to continue selling my physical works in art galleries.
I do it because it is beautiful, because Bitcoin art is eternal, and I am convinced that digital art is the next big movement. It will take the time it needs, and in 20 or 30 years, I will still be here.
I believe the next Michelangelo will sculpt the blockchain.
It may take a few more years to reveal it, but it doesn't matter. I will try with all my heart to stay true to my art. To create a work that resonates with its time and conveys positive emotions to share.
In the end, that's all that matters, and the very essence of art. The value always comes later when the creation is right.
To all those who share this passion for this ecosystem and who seek to move forward together positively, thank you.
STONES ARE FOREVER.
