Runes is a novel protocol developed by Casey Rodarmor, the mind behind Ordinals, another Bitcoin-based protocol. Let’s dive into the details:

1. Background:

Ordinals: Casey Rodarmor introduced Ordinals, which allowed creating NFT-like “inscriptions” on the Bitcoin network. These inscriptions enabled trading digital art and collectibles directly on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Runes: Runes builds upon Ordinals but focuses on creating fungible tokens (unlike non-fungible inscriptions). These fungible tokens operate within Bitcoin’s Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model.

2. What Are Runes?:

Definition: Runes are a Bitcoin fungible token protocol designed to compete with existing standards like BRC-20, Taproot Assets, RGB, Counterparty, and Omni Layer.

Purpose: Runes simplify the process of creating native fungible tokens on the Bitcoin network.

3. How Runes Work:

Fungibility: Runes are interchangeable, similar to digital dollars. They can be traded seamlessly.

UTXO Model: Unlike some other chains (like Ethereum), Runes use the UTXO model—the same model as Bitcoin itself. This model is considered superior by many Bitcoiners.

On-Chain: Runes operate entirely on-chain, avoiding reliance on off-chain data.

Creating Tokens:

Issuer: The issuer creates a token.

Minting: The issuer sets a limit for how many tokens someone can mint in a single transaction.

Bitcoin Fees: Runes use Bitcoin and pay fees in Bitcoin to create new tokens.

4. Halving and Hype:

Timing: Runes are set to launch during the Bitcoin halving, which occurs when miner rewards are cut in half (currently scheduled for April 20).

Anticipation: Despite not being live yet, Runes is already generating significant hype and attention.

In summary, Runes provides a more efficient way to create fungible tokens on Bitcoin, leveraging the UTXO model and staying fully on-chain. It’s an exciting development for the crypto community! 🚀🔮

Leonidas, the developer behind Ordinals, recently shared on social media that there has been some confusion regarding Runestone. While many initially perceived it as an NFT collectible, Leonidas believes that within a month, the prevailing perception will shift, and Runestone will be recognized as a Memecoin.

Runestone (RUNESTONE) is an intriguing NFT collection that merges the world of Bitcoin with digital art. Let’s explore the details:

1. Background:

Ordinals Protocol: Runestone is closely tied to the Ordinals Protocol, which initially introduced NFT-like “inscriptions” on the Bitcoin network. These inscriptions allowed trading digital art and collectibles directly on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Fungible Tokens: Unlike the non-fungible inscriptions of Ordinals, Runestone focuses on creating fungible tokens within Bitcoin’s Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model.

2. Key Aspects of Runestone:

Definition: Runestone is an open-source, transparent, volunteer, and decentralized initiative.

Rewarding Participants: It aims to reward people who participated in the first year of the Ordinals Protocol.

NFT Collection: Runestone operates as an NFT collection, offering a unique experience to Bitcoin users.

Market Cap: The total market cap of Runestone stands at $567,334,273.

3. Where to Buy and Sell:

4. Historical Significance:

Runestones draw inspiration from their ancient counterparts—raised stones with runic inscriptions.
While most runestones were erected in Scandinavia, Runestone NFTs bring this tradition into the digital realm. Their vibrant colors have faded over time, but their historical value remains.

In summary, Runestone innovates by creating fungible tokens on the Bitcoin network, rewarding early supporters, and bridging the gap between art and technology. 🚀🔮

#Runestone , a volunteer initiative to reward the year one #Ordinals community, is preparing for an #airdrop . To proceed, they need six more people to contribute 0.15 #BTC each to cover network fees. The project is currently 80% complete, with art finished, and 112,383 Runestones ready for distribution to eligible Ordinals addresses. The initiative emphasizes transparency and warns against potential scams, urging contributors to confirm the authenticity of messages. Runestone operates without a team allocation, relying on community support. Donations solely cover network fees, and any excess funds will be returned. Contributors receive no extra allocation or special benefits. The call is for 15 people/projects to commit #0.15BTC each for necessary network fees. The absence of a public donation address is intentional to prevent accidental overfunding, and individuals are cautioned against pooling funds or responding to shared addresses due to potential scams. The project depends on community support, and those willing to contribute are requested to express their interest.
