# Value of Pioneers

* **First is first!** In any ecosystem, the first original protocol or product always garners more market attention and possesses greater market value. This rule holds true as Pioneers, being the first 3D interactive NFT asset on the Bitcoin ecosystem's Rune protocol, have a unique first-mover advantage.
* **Scarcity of Assets:** In the diverse asset environment of the Bitcoin ecosystem, where homogenization is a significant issue, Pioneers represent a scarce asset class, being the first 3D interactive NFT, thus endowing them with higher value.
* **More than Digital Art:** Pioneers NFTs are not just digital art pieces and entry tickets to the RuneLink metaverse; they also have the potential to be part of token airdrops based on the Rune protocol, strongly binding the interests of Pioneers NFT and the RuneLink platform.
* **Multiple Empowerments within the RuneLink Ecosystem:**
  * **Evolution:** Unlocking more interactive methods and animated actions.
  * **Harvesting:** Gaining subsequent rights to mint CUBEs, Creations, and all metaverse assets built on the RuneLink protocol.
  * **Tokens:** Holding Pioneers entitles holders to airdrops of future RuneLink governance tokens, along with VIP access in the RuneLink ecosystem games.
  * **Royalties:** Continuously earning royalties from other assets in the RuneLink ecosystem that recursively reference the Pioneers.
