Among them, the hottest topic is the Runes concept, in the Runes protocol that has not yet been launched Mainnet, nearly 20 infrastructure platforms that provide services such as minting and trading have emerged.

For the old players of the Bitcoin ecosystem, the minting of the Runes protocol is not complicated, but for most new users, there is still a relatively large threshold.

In terms of how to download, register, and use the Wallet, BlockBeats has sorted out six of the more commonly used Bitcoin Wallet, so I won't long go into details. Related reading: "Six Bitcoin Wallet Introductory Interactive Tutorials, Don't Miss the Next Wealth Code". In the Runes ecosystem, the best compatibility should still be Unisat, Xverse Wallet and OKX WEB3 Wallet, you can choose to use it yourself.

In addition to the wallet, for the most concerned and important minting tools for users, BlockBeats selected several projects that have been launched on the testnet, and produced detailed explanations and tutorials in the following, which has great reference significance for the minting process after the launch of the Mainnet.

Wallet and minting platform

Xverse

Xverse is a commonly used wallet in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and naturally will not be absent from this "rune boom". Xverse mint is now live, and users can minting runes on the website after the Runes Mainnet goes live.

1. Open the Xverse official website, select chrome browser to download the plug-in and install it. In the chrome browser extension, open the Xverse plugin. New users select "Create a new Wallet" on this screen. After clicking, a 12-digit mnemonic phrase will pop up, back up the mnemonic phrase and set a password to complete the wallet creation.

It should be noted that the Xverse Wallet Mainnet has 2 Address, BTC Address starting with "3" and asset storage Address starting with "bc 1" (Ordinals, Runes, rare Satoshi, etc., Testnet have 1 Address, which starts with "2"). If you want to interact Mainnet, transfer the prepared BTC to the BTC Address starting with "3", not to the asset Address starting with "BC 1".

2. In Xverse's testnet, we can see that after the wallet is successfully connected, we can click on the "Mint" box for minting.

Xverse offers 3 different runes minting test coins, namely "I•NEED•TEST•RUNES", "A•SQUARE•IS•NOT•A•LOGO", and "zero•divisibility•RUNE", all of which were deployed on March 30 for testing purposes only, with a total of 1000 mints per time.

3. Select any runes and click "Mint", click "Confirm" in the pop-up transaction information, and pay the fee to complete the minting. After 840,000 Block are produced, the rune deployment will be opened, and users can deploy the rune Token by themselves.

Unisat

As the earliest "crab eater" in BRC 20, UniSat is the oldest wallet in the Bitcoin ecosystem. On April 14, UniSat said on its social platform that the UniSat Wallet will support Runes and will launch the Runes inscription service and trading marketplace. Now that the Testnet has been launched, we can also familiarize ourselves with the process after the Mainnet is launched according to the operation of the Testnet.

1. Open the Unisat official website, select chrome browser to download the plug-in and install it.

2. In the chrome browser extension, open the Unisat plugin. The new user selects "Create new Wallet" on this screen. After entering the password to register, a 12-digit mnemonic phrase will pop up, back up the mnemonic phrase, select the Address followed by m/86/0/0/0/0/0, and click "Continue" to create successfully.

3. Open the unisat Testnet and switch to the minting"Mint" option on the "Inscribe" page. Enter the name of the ruen you want to minting in the "Rune / Rune Id" column, and manually enter or drag the slide rail in the "Repeat Mint" column to determine the number of runes to be minted. Click on "Next" when you're done.

4. Enter the Testnet Address you want to accept the runes in the Address"To Single Address" field, and choose a different minting speed according to your needs. It is worth noting that Custom can customize the gases in the "Sats In Inion" list. Finally, click "Submit Pay invoice" to submit your order.

5. Finally, select a payment method and sign the payment. If you pay in the Wallet, you need to make sure that there is a balance in the Wallet, otherwise the payment will fail. After the payment is successful, just wait patiently for the block to be confirmed. The progress can be viewed in the mempool, and it will be displayed in the Wallet after the minting is completed.

BTCBot

In the recent market warm-up process of the minting platform, BlockBeats can also see some new faces in the market, such as bot tools, which is the first time that bots have appeared in the Bitcoin ecosystem, often appearing in the context of "as a substitute solution when the minting platform web page crashes".

Although the front-end of the minting platform web page crashes are rare, and the Bitcoin network's transaction form is different from EVM's, the possibility of vulnerabilities in code design is unproven, so BlockBeats uses one of them as a tutorial teaching model.

1. Open BTCBot in Telegram and click "Start" to enter the bot chat window.

2. Currently, BTCBot service can choose Chinese mode or English mode. Select "Create Wallet" or "Create Wallet Wallet" or "Create 5 Wallets" in the dialog options, and the bot will send new Wallet Address and Private Key. Or you can select "Import Wallet Wallet" and send the Wallet Private Key to the bot to automatically complete Address recognition.

3. In the Wallet that has been identified with the bot, deposit at least 0.00 2B TC to open a new transaction. Once you have all set it up, you will be able to use BTCBot when you start trading.

4. Select the bot's "Batch minting Runes" and enter the name of the runes you want to minting. IN THIS EXAMPLE, UNCOMMON•GOODS IS USED, AND THE BOT WILL TELL UNCOMMON•GOODS BASIC INFORMATION. If you are sure to minting, click "Add to Auto New Allowlist", and when the minting starts, the bot will automatically minting. The number of inscriptions can also be set by talking directly to the bot.
