BRC-20 is an experimental token standard designed to create semi-fungible tokens on the Bitcoin network using the Ordinals protocol. Initially introduced as a way to overcome Bitcoin’s programmability limitations, BRC-20 tokens enable fungible token creation on the blockchain by inscribing data onto individual Satoshis. This innovation expanded Bitcoin’s utility beyond its core role as a peer-to-peer cash system, allowing for new possibilities in decentralized finance (DeFi) and digital collectibles.
