Introduction of the Runes Token Protocol

Runes Token 協定簡介

The Bitcoin ecosystem has recently witnessed the emergence of the Runes token protocol, which has generated over $135 million in transaction fees from 2129 Bitcoins within its first week. Runes leverages Bitcoin's UTXO model and OP_RETURN transaction code to provide a more efficient tokenization solution compared to the BRC20 standard based on Ordinals protocols.

比特幣生態系統最近見證了 Runes 代幣協議的出現，該協議在第一周內就從 2129 個比特幣中產生了超過 1.35 億美元的交易費用。 Runes 利用比特幣的 UTXO 模型和 OP_RETURN 交易代碼，提供比基於 Ordinals 協議的 BRC20 標準更有效率的代幣化解決方案。

Impact on the Bitcoin Ecosystem

對比特幣生態系統的影響

The launch of Runes, spearheaded by Casey Rodarmor, who conceptualized the Ordinals protocol earlier in 2023, has coincided with the fourth Bitcoin halving event at block height 840,000. Runes has quickly become a significant contributor to network transactions and fee activities.

由 Casey Rodarmor 領導的 Runes 的推出，恰逢區塊高度 840,000 的第四次比特幣減半事件，他於 2023 年初提出了 Ordinals 協議。符文已迅速成為網路交易和費用活動的重要貢獻者。

According to Cryptokoryo's Dune dashboard, 45% of Bitcoin transactions on April 25 were associated with Runes activities, while ordinary transactions accounted for 51%. Furthermore, the network has processed over 3 million transactions involving Runes since its inception.

根據 Cryptokoryo 的 Dune 儀表板，4 月 25 日的比特幣交易中有 45% 與 Runes 活動相關，而普通交易佔 51%。此外，自成立以來，該網路已處理超過 300 萬筆涉及符文的交易。

Data from Unisat reveals that approximately 11,000 Runes tokens have been introduced to users, fueling demand for network block space and subsequently increasing network fees. The average transaction fee remained around $40 on April 25, significantly higher than the $5 seen at the beginning of April, as reported by The Block Data Dashboard.

Unisat 的數據顯示，已經向用戶引入了大約 11,000 個 Runes 代幣，刺激了對網路區塊空間的需求，並隨後增加了網路費用。根據 Block Data Dashboard 報導，4 月 25 日平均交易費用維持在 40 美元左右，明顯高於 4 月初的 5 美元。

Notable Data for Runes

符文的重要數據

The introduction of Runes has also coincided with an increase in Bitcoin's mining difficulty, which rose by 2% on April 24, reaching an all-time high. This adjustment marks the first increase in mining difficulty immediately following the halving event, indicating increased miner participation.

Runes 的推出也恰逢比特幣挖礦難度的增加，4 月 24 日比特幣挖礦難度上升 2%，達到歷史新高。此次調整標誌著減半事件後挖礦難度首次增加，顯示礦工參與度增加。

According to Magic Eden, among the tokens under the Runes standard, DOG has the highest market value, exceeding $400 million. DOG is associated with the Runestone NFT collection by Leonidas, co-founder of the Bitcoin Ordinals explorer Ord.io. Other notable tokens in the Runes ecosystem include RSIC Genesis, Satoshi Nakamoto, Wanko Manko, and Bitcoin Pepe Matrix.

根據Magic Eden統計，在Runes標準下的代幣中，DOG的市值最高，超過4億美元。 DOG 與比特幣 Ordinals 瀏覽器 Ord.io 聯合創始人 Leonidas 的 Runestone NFT 系列相關。 Runes 生態系統中其他著名的代幣包括 RSIC Genesis、中本聰、Wanko Manko 和比特幣 Pepe Matrix。
