What Are Bitcoin Runes?

Bitcoin Runes is a fungible token protocol created by Casey Rodarmor (the same developer who created Ordinals) and launched in April 2024 alongside the Bitcoin halving at block 840,000. Runes allows anyone to create fungible tokens directly on Bitcoin using the UTXO model.

How Runes Work

Unlike BRC-20 tokens that use inscriptions (and create extra UTXOs), Runes embeds token data directly into Bitcoin's OP_RETURN field. This makes Runes:

UTXO-native: Tokens follow Bitcoin's native transaction model, meaning they're compatible with Lightning Network and existing Bitcoin infrastructure
Efficient: No extra UTXOs are created, reducing blockchain bloat
Simple: The protocol is intentionally minimal — etch, mint, and transfer operations are all you need
Secure: Secured by Bitcoin's proof-of-work, the most robust security model in crypto
