  What Are Bitcoin Runes? A Beginner's to the New Token Protocol What Are Runes in Bitcoin?  Runes are fungible tokens issued directly on Bitcoin using the Runes protocol. Ordinals creator Casey Rodarmor proposed the new protocol in September 2023, pitching it as a better and simpler alternative to the experimental BRC-20 standard for fungible tokens.  BRC-20 tokens gained a lot of popularity shortly after the Bitcoin token standard was launched in March 2023 by the pseudonymous developer Domo. About three months later, the value of BRC-20 tokens soared, hitting a market cap of $1 billion.  Although the token standard allowed users to create Bitcoin-native fungible tokens for the first time, it also led to the excessive production of “junk” UTXOs, which clogged the network. Rodarmor seeks to solve this issue with a UTXO-based protocol that will prevent the generation of “junk” UTXOs.  Bitcoin uses the UTXO model, where a transaction consists of inp...

  Bitcoin vs Ethereum Smart Contracts: Security Comparisons Bitcoin as a Smart Contract Platform Bitcoin provides a payment network for exchanging digital cryptocurrency through peer-to-peer connections without a central authority such as a government or bank. The network exchanges digital units called bitcoins, divisible to eight decimal places. The smallest bitcoin unit is the satoshi (sat), named after bitcoin's founder, equal to one hundred millionth (1/100,000,000) of a bitcoin. Any participant in a bitcoin network can exchange currency through a digital ledger system where records are distributed across multiple devices in the network. The ledger stores digital transaction data in records called blocks. Blocks contain information about transactions, including a timestamp and a cryptographic hash of the previous block. This allows blocks to be linked in chronological order so that the link between each transaction is verified by a digi...
