December 20, 2025, is a memorable day. The first project to successfully conduct a fair launch on the Runes platform, $ZZZZZZZ, officially went live. This moment was recorded in Bitcoin block 928711, backed by an injection of 2.16 BTC and the consensus of 552 participants. Seemingly simple numbers, but they reflect a quiet revolution within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

For a long time, the barrier to participation in BTC L1 has been ridiculously high. Either you are a whale or you are just a bystander. Scientists monopolize the space, mechanisms lack transparency, and ordinary people find it almost impossible to participate in the early launch of a project. The Runes platform directly addresses this pain point with Equal-access Launch — by aggregating tiny Satoshi units, allowing everyone to participate from the same starting line. This embodies the true spirit of crypto.

The real black technology comes from Omnity Network’s REE (Runes Execution Engine). Traditional Bitcoin transactions are often fragmented, with each step performed independently, making errors easy. REE provides Bitcoin with similar synchronous composability as EVM — atomic transactions are bundled and processed directly, with fund extraction and liquidity addition completed in a single transaction. Either everything succeeds, or everything is rolled back, avoiding awkward situations where funds get stuck or transactions fail halfway.

The most impressive part is that this system requires no cross-chain bridges; everything is done within the native Bitcoin environment. Efficiency, security, and fairness are simultaneously maximized — perhaps this is the way forward for the next phase of Bitcoin DeFi.
