#Alkanes Recently, more and more people have been discussing the Alkanes protocol, and many newcomers have encountered some minor issues. Here are some simple answers: 1. If you did not buy using the Oly wallet, but purchased with Unisat or OKX wallets, how can you avoid burning? First, if you purchase using the Oly wallet, your payment address should be a Segwit address. After paying with a Segwit address, #METHANE $BTC or other protocol tokens will be sent to your Taproot address as shown below.

This can effectively prevent your assets from being burned. Now, to the point: if you purchased with OKX or Unisat wallets using a Taproot address (which is the bc1p address), the Alkanes assets and your BTC will be in the same address. To prevent burning Alkanes assets, the best method is to do nothing. If you really need to use this BTC, then when transferring, pay close attention to the UTXO. If there is a UTXO less than 1000 sat being used, stop immediately.

Because I did not import any wallet with Alkanes assets, it shows 1000 sat here, but in reality, the Alkanes asset is 546 sat. You can check your UTXO on the webpage https://unisat.io/utxo.

Assets of 546 sat are generally in a locked state and will not be burned as gas, but special cases cannot be ruled out, so be careful during transfers! Currently, it is known that 4% of METHANE has been burned. Last week, Unisat said it would support the Alkanes protocol, which should be coming soon, so you can wait patiently. 2. If you don't want to sell a piece and want to split, how should you do it? Taking METHANE as an example, one piece is 10,000; if you want to sell 100, the simplest method is to initiate a transfer from the Oly wallet to your own address or another address of yours.

For merging, the same rule applies; just send 20,000 to your address to merge. #BTC Currently, the overall development of the protocol is good, making steady progress without explosive growth or PVP. On the 27th, there will be representatives from the Oly project speaking at the BTC conference, which is something to look forward to. There will also be a public beta for AMM and mainnet deployment, which is very positive. If there is to be a BTC protocol emerging this year, it is 90% likely to be Alkanes.
