Runes

Runes is a fungible token protocol built natively on Bitcoin. It aims to provide a simple, efficient, and UTXO-friendly way to issue and transfer fungible tokens on Bitcoin, without requiring off-chain infrastructure or complex indexers. Runes defines a method for creating and transferring fungible tokens on Bitcoin using standard transaction fields like OP_RETURN.

• Simple: The protocol logic is minimal and does not rely on external systems.

• On-chain: All state and transfer data are embedded within Bitcoin transactions.

• UTXO-native: Assets are stored and moved through Bitcoin’s native UTXO structure.

UniSat provides full protocol-level support for Runes, including:

• Mint & Etch Runes: Users can define new Rune tickers(etch) or mint runes through UniSat Inscribe

• Wallet Integration: Rune balances and transactions are supported directly in the UniSat Wallet, enabling send and receive functions

• Marketplace: UniSat's marketplace enables the trading of Runes tickers through UniSat Marketplace

• Explorer: Users can browse Rune assets, holders, and activity via the Rune section of UniScan
