Bitcoin’s much-anticipated halving unfolded on April 20, drawing significant attention and praise from the crypto market.

However, the spotlight was shared with the debut of the Runes protocol, which stirred controversy by congesting the network with high fees and meme coins.

Runes Make Bitcoin Network Congestion Worse

Runes ignited fervor within the crypto community, presenting itself as a means to infuse the meme coins into the Bitcoin blockchain. This protocol diverges from the BRC-20 token standard by leveraging an Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model. It allows the creation of altcoins through an “etching” process directly on the network.

Casey Rodarmor, the protocol’s creator, described Runes as designed for degens and meme coins while emphasizing its simplicity, efficiency, and security.

“It is a legitimate competitor to Taproot Assets and RGB. The protocol is self-contained and has no dependencies on ordinals or inscriptions, making it extremely simple… I’m highly skeptical of “serious” tokens, but runes is without a doubt a “serious” token protocol,” Rodarmor added.

Runes’ introduction prompted a surge in Bitcoin network activity, resulting in congestion and heightened fees. Indeed, a minimum transaction fee now exceeds 840 sat/vB, equivalent to approximately $76. It also bolstered block revenue, averaging 21.74 BTC per block post-halving.
