Before participating in CoinWar, it’s important to understand the main protocols within the Bitcoin ecosystem. These protocols not only define how digital assets are created and managed, but also determine how CoinWar can integrate with different decentralized technologies. By understanding how they work, both players and developers can maximize the game’s potential and its interaction with the Bitcoin environment.
Runes Runes is a standard for fungible tokens on Bitcoin, created by Casey Rodarmor, who is also known for developing the Ordinals protocol. This protocol is characterized by its minimalist and efficient design. It does not require inscribed files or external data, as it relies solely on Bitcoin’s native structure to issue and transfer tokens. This reduces network congestion and improves overall scalability, making Runes an ideal solution for issuing lightweight and low-cost tokens within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Atomicals Atomicals is an advanced protocol that enables the creation of complex digital assets directly on Bitcoin’s Layer 1. Its innovation lies in the concept of "coloring" satoshis, meaning it assigns unique properties to the smallest units of Bitcoin to transform them into elements such as ARC-20 tokens, digital names (RNS), permanent files, identities, and objects. Thanks to its fully decentralized and censorship-resistant architecture, Atomicals offers a strong foundation for the development of applications, economies, and immersive digital experiences on Bitcoin.

Alkanes Alkanes is an emerging protocol within the Bitcoin ecosystem that emphasizes simplicity, interoperability, and efficiency. It is designed to support the creation of lightweight contracts and exchange mechanisms that consume minimal network resources. This makes it an attractive option for developers seeking speed and low costs when implementing features in decentralized environments. Though still in its early stages, Alkanes shows promise as a versatile tool for building agile solutions on Bitcoin.
