Runes and Glyphs refers to two complementary Bitcoin token protocols: Runes, which encodes fungible token balances directly in Bitcoin transaction outputs using OP_RETURN data, and Glyphs, a related protocol developed by Melvin Carvalho that encodes token metadata as on-chain inscriptions compatible with the Ordinals framework. Together they extend Bitcoin’s base layer with native fungible asset issuance without requiring a separate blockchain, enabling DAOs, project tokens, and programmable digital objects on Bitcoin testnet and mainnet.
