Bitcoin Runes.
Solana speed.

[Etchy @EtchydotFun]

Runes were supposed to be Bitcoin’s memecoins.

The problem was never creating them.

It was trading them.

A Rune doesn’t trade like a Solana memecoin. There’s no bonding curve or pool you can instantly sell into. You list what you own, wait for someone to buy it, then wait for Bitcoin to confirm the trade.

When the market is moving fast, that difference matters.

Etchy is our attempt to give Runes the trading experience they were missing.

When you launch on Etchy, you aren’t choosing between Bitcoin and Solana.

Your coin starts on both.

The Solana side is where the market trades.

It launches on a bonding curve priced in BTC, but users buy and sell with SOL. Trades happen in seconds, there is always a live price, and selling doesn’t depend on finding another person willing to buy your exact listing.

At the same time, Etchy etches the coin as a real Rune on Bitcoin.

The entire Rune supply is held against the Solana supply 1:1.

That means the Solana token isn’t just another copy of a Bitcoin meme.

It represents the same supply.

If you want to hold the Rune on Bitcoin, bridge to Bitcoin.

If you want to trade it quickly again, bridge back to Solana.

One coin, with a liquid Solana market and a real Bitcoin Rune behind it.

We also fixed one of the stranger limitations of Runes: they have almost no identity on their own.

A Rune can have a name, but it can’t natively carry everything people expect from a coin today.

So every Etchy Rune is created together with an inscription in the same Bitcoin transaction.

That inscription permanently connects it to its:

logo
ticker
description
links
Solana contract address

From the Rune’s first block, anyone can see what it is and which Solana market belongs to it.

Even naming is handled differently.

You don’t pick a Rune name and race someone else to etch it first.

Bitcoin assigns the Rune name during the launch, making that name its Bitcoin identifier from the start.

Then the rest of the launch works much closer to what people already expect from Solana:

Your dev buy is included as the first trade of the launch, so nobody can buy before you.

Launching itself is free. You only cover the Bitcoin and Solana network costs, shown in SOL before you approve.

0.25% of every trade goes to the coin creator

Creator fees can be claimed whenever the creator wants.

Once the bonding curve reaches ₿0.115, the coin graduates to a Meteora pool and its liquidity is locked forever.

$ETCHY CA: GM8EysYT8NRSsoULdeYShbRsUdhoUoiB9EN4eW3YETCH

Buyback and burn: 25% of the fees Etchy earns on every coin buy back $ETCHY, and every token bought is burned forever.
Holder rewards: 0.5% of every trade goes to the top 100 holders of $ETCHY in WBTC, every 4 hours. Ranked and paid by balance × time held: hold more or hold longer, earn more. No rewards for wallets over 4% of the supply.

All automatic. Every buyback, burn and payout is public on https://t.co/RqNM4il33C and https://t.co/ppBe3QjIOq.
Runes gave Bitcoin a way to create memecoins.

Etchy gives those memecoins somewhere they can actually move.

A real Rune on Bitcoin.
A real market on Solana.
Connected 1:1.

Bitcoin Runes at Solana speed.

12/ Bitcoin doesn't need to become another Ethereum or Solana.

It already has something no other blockchain can replicate: its position as the largest and most established asset in crypto.

What it needs is infrastructure that allows its native asset ecosystem to reach its full potential.

And that's the future we're working toward with Etchy.

Build with us. Launch with us. Bring your Runes to Etchy.

1/ Bitcoin is the largest asset in crypto.

At ~$1.56 trillion, it's worth more than Ethereum and Solana combined, several times over.

Yet the market for Bitcoin-native tokens remains tiny compared with ecosystems built on far smaller chains.

Why? ↓

[Etchy @EtchydotFun]

11/ But we're building beyond a launchpad and trading interface.

Through our open-source SDK, developers can integrate Rune trading into wallets, terminals, bots, AI agents and entirely new applications.

Rather than having liquidity fragmented across isolated platforms, we want Etchy to become a shared liquidity layer that the broader Bitcoin Runes ecosystem can build on.

In our first 20 days, $8.42M has been traded on Etchy roughly 41% of the $20.45M combined volume from tracked Bitcoin Runes in this time period.

Nearly half of that volume. Just 20 days in

We’re just getting started.

20 days of Etchy

$8.42M traded
10,615 traders
199 Runes launched on Bitcoin, all 199 backed 1:1
0.394 BTC ($30K) paid out as fees routed to other wallets, holders & creators
41.1M $ETCHY burned (4.11% of supply)

@SantyGzzSol Yes, it's still active. We posted a reminder a couple of days ago, but we're currently having internal discussions about potentially revamping the challenge.

But for now, however, the original guidelines outlined here still apply:

A reminder that 0.25 BTC (~$20k) is still up for grabs.

The first developer to launch a Rune on Etchy, reach a $1M market cap, and maintain it for 48 hours walks away with the entire prize.

Both Bridge and Zero mode qualify. Custom Rune names only.

Let the best rune win.

1/ From launching and trading Bitcoin Runes to browser-based mining, migrating existing runes, and building applications around them.

Etchy is bringing entirely new possibilities to Bitcoin-native assets.

Let's break down everything you can do on Etchy and how it all works ↓

[Etchy @EtchydotFun]

11/ We're building Etchy to address those limitations and give both existing and future Rune projects the tools to grow

Bitcoin Runes deserve an ecosystem capable of supporting their potential.

And we're working to make that a reality.

[Etchy @EtchydotFun]

10/ Beyond trading, we're also building the infrastructure for developers.

The Etchy Zero SDK allows external platforms to interact directly with Rune liquidity pools, access live market data, execute trades, and integrate Bitcoin-native assets into their own products.

That means trading terminals, wallets, and AI agents can all build around the same liquidity infrastructure.

Our goal is for Etchy to become more than a destination for trading Runes.
