According to Odaily Planet Daily, Casey, founder of the Bitcoin NFT protocol Ordinals, posted on the X platform that one of the advantages of Runes is that the mint terminology is very flexible and expressive. Users can specify start and end times (absolute block height) as well as relative block count after the etch is mined. Previously, Casey released Runes documentation describing Runes’ capabilities that allow Bitcoin transactions to etch, mint, and transfer Bitcoin-native digital goods. While each inscription is unique, each unit of the rune is identical and they are interchangeable tokens suitable for a variety of uses.
