What Are BRC-20 Tokens?

BRC-20 tokens are fungible digital tokens minted on the Bitcoin blockchain, enabled by the emergence of the Ordinals protocol. Created by the pseudonymous developer Domo in March 2023, the BRC-20 token standard has birthed a new class of native L1 assets on Bitcoin that can be minted, transferred, and traded.

Meme coins are currently the most common type of BRC-20 token as this new experimental, Bitcoin-native asset class is taking its first baby steps. ‘Ordi’ was the first BRC-20 token, minted by the token standard’s creator on March 8, followed by the likes of ‘Meme,’ ‘Pepe,’ and ‘Domo.’

While BRC-20 tokens are still in the experimental stage, they have the potential to create a new market of Bitcoin-native digital assets.

Frequently Asked Questions

BRC-20 is an experimental token standard - somewhat similar to ERC-20 on Ethereum - that enables the minting and transferring of fungible digital currencies on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Made possible by the Ordinals protocol, BRC-20 tokens can be created, transferred, and traded on Bitcoin, birthing in a new class of Bitcoin-native L1 assets.

Understanding how Bitcoin Ordinals work is crucial in gaining a comprehensive understanding of BRC-20 tokens. The Ordinals protocol serves as a means of numbering satoshis and enables users to associate additional data with these satoshis, a procedure referred to as "Ordinal inscriptions."

In the BRC-20 token standard, tokens use Ordinal inscriptions of JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data for deploying token contracts, minting tokens, and facilitating token transfers.

Presently, the BRC-20 token standard permits the creation of BRC-20 tokens through the deploy function, the minting of a specified quantity of BRC-20 tokens using the mint function, and the transfer of a designated amount of BRC-20 tokens via the transfer function.

While BRC-20 tokens have taken inspiration from Ethereum’s ERC-20 token standard, there are several significant differences between the two types of tokens.

Firstly, BRC-20 tokens exist on the Bitcoin blockchain, while ERC-20 tokens exist on the Ethereum blockchain.

Secondly, BRC-20 tokens don’t utilize smart contracts, which means they have fewer functionalities than their counterparts on Ethereum. For example, ERC-20 tokens can interact with decentralized applications (dApps) to enable DeFi use cases, such as decentralized borrowing and lending, thanks to their EVM-compatibility.

Thirdly, ERC-20 tokens have been around since 2015, experiencing widespread usage in 2017, while BRC-20 tokens have only been around since March 2023. ERC-20 tokens are, therefore, a much more established token standard that has undergone rigorous testing and has proven to operate reliably. Conversely, BRC-20 tokens are still in the experimental stage.

Fourthly, BRC-20 tokens still lack any real utility. Conversely, ERC-20 tokens can be used to take part in the governance process of a decentralized protocol, as an in-platform transactional currency, or to earn rewards through staking, for example.

The BRC-20 token standard is still in its infancy and was created as a “fun experimental standard” to demonstrate that you can mint digital tokens on Bitcoin. However, according to its creator, it shouldn’t be considered the standard for fungible assets on Bitcoin with Ordinals, and no financial decisions should be made based on its design.

In other words, BRC-20 tokens are very risky, so make sure you do your own research before deciding to purchase any.
