Introduction

This handbook is a guide to Dunes theory. Runes will undoubtedly be an integral part of the crypto asset landscape on Bitcoin as the search for an ideal fungible token protocol on inscription-based ecosystems continues. You can read more about Runes from the creator of the protocol itself, Casey, here. What Bitcoin is missing, however, is a “canary network.” A place where Ordinals can be tested and fleshed out in an environment that’s cheaper and faster; allotting for more experimentation, more trial-and-error. Somewhere that follows the same ruleset, but can be used to work out kinks before being ported to the heftier Bitcoin network.
