Choosing the Right Protocol for Your Project
BRC-20 vs. Runes: A Strategic Comparison
A technical and strategic comparison of the BRC-20 token standard and the Runes protocol on Bitcoin, highlighting key differences for CTOs and founders making infrastructure decisions.
| Feature | BRC-20 Standard | Runes Protocol | Chainscore Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
Underlying Technology | JSON-based Ordinals inscriptions | UTXO-based, native to Bitcoin | Runes for efficiency, BRC-20 for compatibility |
Transaction Efficiency | Lower (multiple UTXOs per mint) | Higher (single UTXO per mint) | Runes reduces blockchain bloat by ~70% |
Network Congestion Impact | High (spams UTXO set) | Low (optimized UTXO management) | Runes for sustainable scaling |
Developer Tooling Maturity | High (established wallets, explorers) | Growing (rapid ecosystem expansion) | We support both with production-ready SDKs |
Time to Deploy Token | 2-3 weeks (standard process) | 1-2 weeks (optimized protocol) | We deliver MVP in 10 business days |
Typical Use Case | Community memecoins, experimental assets | DeFi, loyalty programs, scalable assets | Runes for serious products, BRC-20 for community tests |
Long-term Viability Risk | Medium (reliance on Ordinals) | Low (Bitcoin-native, simpler design) | Future-proof with Runes protocol consulting |
Chainscore Audit & Deployment | $15K starting | $20K starting | Includes security review and gas optimization |
Ongoing Protocol Support | Optional SLA from $5K/month | Recommended SLA from $8K/month | 99.9% uptime monitoring and fork management |
