🧵 The Ultimate #BTC Runes Guide: Everything You Need to Know About Runes, Minting, and Trading 🧵

ᚱᚢᚾᛖᛋ

1/ What are Runes?
Runes come to life through a process called etching. Once etched, their properties are set and immutable. This includes any premine – the initial allocation of runes the etcher may keep.

2/ Premine Explained:
The etcher can allocate a certain number of runes to themselves before they are publicly available. This is known as a premine. Always check how many tokens were premined to avoid potential pitfalls.

3/ Minting Runes:
Anyone can mint new runes as long as the mint is open, under specified terms. To mint, head to luminex.io/runes/mint. Monitor the progress closely, as fees may be lost if the mint completes before your transaction.

4/ Funding Your Wallet:
Use Xverse - Bitcoin Wallet for Web3 or Xverse en Español on iPhone or Chrome for transactions. You can load your wallet from a centralized exchange (CEX) like OKX or via a bridge.
