Runes Minting
1. Introduction
DotSwap introduces a revolutionary utility for the Bitcoin Runes ecosystem: a fast Runes minting and etching tool. Designed for speed, scalability, and accessibility, the tool empowers users to mint and personalize Runes tokens without technical friction or cost barriers.
Runes is a novel protocol for creating fungible assets on Bitcoin. DotSwap’s contribution lies in simplifying this process while enabling maximum customization, high throughput, and low cost.
2. Key Features
💰 Low Cost
While DotSwap does not charge a platform fee, standard Bitcoin network fees still apply. On average, the total cost of minting is approximately 10% of the asset's face value. This remains significantly lower than many competing services and ensures broad accessibility. — drastically lowering the cost of experimentation and token creation.
🧠 Intuitive User Experience
The tool provides a clean, beginner-friendly interface. From token configuration to mint execution, users are guided step-by-step, eliminating the need for technical background.
⚡ High Performance
Built for efficiency, DotSwap’s minting engine is optimized to process large batches of mints with minimal delay. Users can choose modes depending on speed and cost preferences.
✨ Etching for Customization
Etching allows token creators to embed metadata, unique identifiers, or configuration flags into Runes. This enables more expressive use cases and better token management.
3. How It Works
Users access the minting tool via: https://tools.mempool.com
The minting process involves:
Selecting a minting mode (Fast or Cheap)
Inputting asset details (symbol, supply, decimals, etc.)
Broadcasting the etching transaction (if needed)
Signing and broadcasting the mint transactions
The tool handles UTXO management, transaction construction, and broadcasting — all without requiring manual fee tuning.
4. Minting Modes
