The Runi Public Mint went live on November 3, 2022. With every day that passes, Runi owners are closer to unleashing the full potential of their Runi.

At the time this post was written, 41.6% of Runis were minted.

What makes a Runi so special?

Although this functionality is not currently available, Runi owners will be able to play or rent their Runi (in the near future), just like any other Splinterlands card.

In this post, I want to focus on what differentiates a Runi from a non-Runi card.

According to the Splinterlands website.

You also have full commercial ownership of each Runi you own. Build a brand around your Runi, use it as your profile pic, put it on apparel, create artwork and animation, license its use to others—or whatever else you can dream up!

Let's start dreaming!
