BRC 2.0 Upgrade Optimization Points
BRC-20 Trading Structure
BRC-20 Operations are Embedded in Standard Bitcoin Transactions via OP_RETURN Extension, Including the Following Components:
Inputs (UTXOs): Standard Unspent Outputs in Bitcoin, Providing Fees and Required BTC for Outputs. Some UTXOs Can Be Identified by the Indexer as BRC-20 Balance Ownership.
OP_RETURN Output: Core Extension Part, Using OP_RETURN + Up to 80 Bytes of JSON Payload, Describing BRC-20 Operations (Such as Protocol, Type, Token Symbol, Quantity, etc.).
Standard Receipt Output: One or More P2PKH/P2SH/Taproot Outputs. The Amount of Satoshis Received Determines Proportional Token Distribution.
Change Output: Returns Excess BTC to the Sender. Whether This Change Participates in Token Distribution is Decided by the Indexer Strategy.
Important Protocol-Level Rules
Dust Limit: Outputs Below the Dust Limit (e.g., P2PKH is 546 sat) Will Not Be Relayed or On-Chain by Miners, Thus Standard Outputs Must Be ≥ Dust Limit. Blacknode
OP_RETURN Limit: OP_RETURN Data Limit is 80 Bytes (May Remove Limit After Bitcoin Core v30), Value is 0 BTC, Non-transferable. Blacknode
Transaction Validity: The Bitcoin Network Performs Consensus Verification on Transaction Format, Signatures, and Input Validity, but Does Not Parse or Validate BRC-20 Rule Content in OP_RETURN Data$BTC
