I am finally starting to feel like the Runes infrastructure has matured to the point where we are ready to handle large amounts of people outside of the Bitcoin ecosystem aping into them again If we are being honest with ourselves the last time this happened we weren't ready People rightfully complained that buying Runes in "lots" felt painfully clunky and that having their orders sniped in the mempool was a horrible experience that turned them off But thanks to over a dozen cracked teams working very hard for the past year all of the major pain points have now been addressed When you buy Runes on Bitcoin L1 today you don't buy them in "lots" anymore so it feels exactly like buying tokens on Solana or Ethereum thanks to the new advances in trustless liquidity pool swapping You also no longer have to worry about getting sniped and in a surprise twist can actually feel even more confident that your order will succeed than on other chains where MEV and quickly changing slippage leads to high failure rates There are also now advanced liquidity aggregation protocols, algorithms, and APIs that clients can tap into to offer seamless Runes trading Many are not aware because it isn't very public yet but there are some exciting Runes launchpads on L1 coming online soon that leverage some of this new tech and that will jumpstart the "Runes trenches" again In addition to this, Runes are now tradable on Bitcoin L2s, Solana, ICP, and NEAR which allow for instant and gasless swaps Lastly, you can now buy Runes on over 30 CEXs including Kraken which is coming online with Runes support very soon When the next major wave of interest in Runes arrives this time we will be ready There are too many teams and devs to tag so I just want to say one massive thank you to everyone who has continued to believe in Runes and help engineer solutions to all of the UX issues that Runes used to have Thank you for your hard work and dedication 🧡
