Ordinals创始人发布Runes文档,超越BRC-20的代币发行方式?

今日,Ordinals 创始人 Casey 发布了 Runes 的官方文档,包括设定和功能说明,以及技术细节的具体文档。据此前 Casey 的公告,其所发布的 Runes 将于 4 月下旬上线,Odaily 将于本文解析功能文档,并对比其与 BRC-20 代币的异同。

什么是符文?

符文允许比特币交易蚀刻(etch)、铸造(mint)和转让比特币原生的数字商品。每个铭文(inscription)都是独一无二的,而每单位的符文都是同质的,它们是可互换的代币,适用于多种用途。

符石

符文协议信息被称为符石(runestone),存储在比特币交易输出中。符石输出脚本开头分别为“OP_RETURN”和“OP_ 13 ”,按照 Casey 所指定规则压缩和解码成一系列 128 位的整数,最后解析成一块符石。每次交易最多只能有一块符石。(具体运行细节可参考《Ordinals 创始人首谈 Runes 协议》第四节)

符石可以蚀刻新的符文,铸造已有的符文。

蚀刻

符文是通过蚀刻(etch)产生的,蚀刻能够创造一个符文并设定其属性。一旦设定,这些属性是不可改变的。该操作可按照 ERC 20 代币的部署(Deploy)理解。

名称

名称由字母 A 到 Z 组成,长度在 1 到 28 个字符之间。例如“UNCOMMONGOODS”可以是一个符文名。名称也可包含间隔符,用圆点表示,以提高可读性。“UNCOMMONGOODS”可以会被蚀刻成“UNCOMMON•GOODS”。一个名称的唯一性并不取决于间隔符号。因此,即使使用不同的间隔符号,符文也不能使用与现有符文相同的字母序列。

Premine(预分配)

符文的蚀刻者可以向自己分配一定数量的已蚀刻符文,这种分配被称为 Premine,非强制可自由选择。

(Odaily星球日报注:在早期 Ceasy 并未考虑加入这个功能,该功能的推出为更复杂的代币经济学提供可能。)

可分性

一个符文的可分性指的是它可以被分成多少个最小单位。可分性即符文数量小数点后的最大位数。可分性为 0 的符文不可分割,可分性为 1 的符文可以分割成十个子单位,可分性为 2 的符文可以分割成一百个,依此类推。

(Odaily星球日报注:即用户可自选代币的最小单位。)

铸造限制

符文可以公开铸造,面向所有人开放,并能够设定铸造限制,当超出指定的条件(Casey 称之为 Terms)则铸造停止,例如可以限制特定起始(区块)高度、终止(区块)高度和一个(数量)上限。

其他信息

  • 标识:符文具有特定 Unicode 码,例如可分性为 2、数量为 101 个单位的符文,标识为🧿,将体现为 1.01 🧿。

  • 上限:符文的可铸造次数即为其上限,一旦超过上限铸造就停止。

  • 燃烧:符文可通过 Casey 所指定方法进行燃烧。

和 BRC-20 有什么区别?

底层差异

Runes 基于比特币网络的 UTXO 和附件信息构建,通过 OP_RETURN 标记特定信息,从而“模拟”代币操作。而 BRC-20 将数据记录在见证数据中,具有 UTXO 膨胀的特性。这也是 Casey 反对 BRC-20 的根本原因之一,其认为 BRC-20 产生的“垃圾 UTXO”过度地占据了比特币网络空间。并且存在潜在的安全问题。(详见《BTC 生态 | 揭秘 Ordinals 创始人要求币安移除 ORDI 幕后故事》)

另一方面,Casey 认为 BRC-20 之所以成功,关键在于它开创了比特币网络上的“资产公平发射”方式,人人可参与,并自己为铸造成本负责。Casey 希望继承其优点,同时避免其技术上的缺陷(UTXO 膨胀问题)。

那么以代币视角而言,二者具有什么差异?

代币差异

  • 更高的设定自由度

BRC-20 规定代币名称固定为 4 个字母,仅能设定代币的总张数和单次铭刻数量。而 Runes 对名字开放度较高,并支持代币精度的设定。

  • 更全面的代币功能

BRC-20 代币仅具备转账功能,并仅支持单对单的单类代币转账。而 Runes 支持复杂的转账,包括单次转账的多对象和多代币。而设置铸造条件、预分配、燃烧、批量空投等一系列特性,使得 Runes 更加接近广大用户熟知的 ERC-20 代币,从功能性上大幅提升。

结论

去年 Casey 曾宣布 Runes 将在比特币网络区块高度达到 840000 时推出,大约在今年的中下旬。而在去年 9 月其提出 Runes 概念期间,已涌现出了大量的 Runes 代币和 NFT,包括 Runes Alpha(COOK)、Runecoin(RSIC)、Runestone 等数十个项目,本次文档的发布再次预告了正式版本推出在即。

而回到 BRC-20 ,其在 2023 年的二度爆红主要因为带来了比特币代币发行的新叙事,而非来自功能的繁复,BRC-20 的没落则处于网络性能的限制和叙事新颖度的消失。Runes 在功能性上做出了极大提升,但并非吸引大量用户的充分条件,Casey 能否凭借 Runes 为比特币网络带来再一次增长,仍有待观察。

Why Is DeFi Insurance Unpopular?

The article explores the core reasons why DeFi insurance remains largely unutilized despite its potential to eliminate traditional insurance inefficiencies and malicious claim denials through automated smart contracts. Key points include: 1. **Low Adoption & Minimal Payouts:** Leading provider Nexus Mutual has paid only ~$18M in claims since 2019, dwarfed by single hack losses (e.g., Kelp DAO's $292M loss). 2. **High Correlation Risk:** Unlike traditional insurance (e.g., house fires), DeFi risks (oracle failures, bridge hacks) are systemic and can simultaneously impact multiple protocols, threatening to drain entire insurance pools. 3. **Prohibitive Cost vs. Reward:** For many protocols (Aave, Morpho, Compound), insurance premiums (1.5%-6%) consume a significant portion or even all of the native yield (3%-4%), leaving investors with meager returns. In some cases (Maple Finance, Ethena), premiums can even result in net-negative yields. 4. **Inadequate Capacity:** The total DeFi insurance pool (e.g., Nexus Mutual's $81.56M) is minuscule compared to the hundreds of billions in total value locked (TVL), creating a massive supply-demand gap. 5. **Structural Flaws:** The claims assessment model (e.g., Nexus Mutual's member voting) creates a conflict of interest, as voters bear the loss if a claim is paid. There is also no regulatory mandate forcing DeFi protocols to obtain insurance. The industry is adapting by focusing on preventative measures (e.g., bug bounty coverage) and seeking external capital via reinsurance. However, the fundamental issues of small pool size, correlated risk, and misaligned economic incentives persist. The article concludes that DeFi insurance, like a public lighthouse, provides shared security benefits, but if everyone relies on others to pay for it, no one will, leaving the ecosystem vulnerable.

Ethlabs Founded, Treasury Companies to Fund Ethereum Post-EF

Former Ethereum Foundation (EF) core researchers Ansgar Dietrichs, Barnabé Monnot, Caspar Schwarz-Schilling, Josh Rudolf, and Julian Ma announced the launch of Ethlabs, an independent non-profit R&D lab focused on Ethereum core protocol research and institutional-grade infrastructure. The initiative, backed by over 50 community participants including ETH treasury companies BitMine and Sharplink, Joseph Lubin, Hayden Adams, and Jesse Pollak, aims to make Ethereum the global economic settlement layer. This move comes amidst significant pressure on the EF, which has seen key departures and a strategic narrowing of its focus. A critical funding gap of approximately $30 million annually for core client development, following the expiration of the client incentive program, poses a near-term risk to the network's development. The context includes the evolution of ETH's value narrative. While mechanisms like EIP-1559 and the Merge previously supported the "ultrasound money" thesis, the success of L2 scaling via EIP-4844 has drastically reduced L1 fee revenue, leading to net ETH issuance and challenging that narrative. Ethlabs has listed ETH monetary economics as a primary research focus. Backing from corporate ETH treasuries like BitMine and Sharplink represents a strategic alignment, as these entities' asset values are directly tied to Ethereum's health and adoption. Their support is an investment rather than a pure donation. Ethereum's governance is shifting from a centralized EF model to a distributed network of specialized "manager nodes," including Ethlabs and a streamlined EF. While this promotes efficiency and reduces single-point failure risk, it introduces new challenges in coordination, priority alignment, and filling critical funding gaps across the decentralized ecosystem.
