Embedded Data
OP_RETURN protocols, Ordinals inscriptions, protocol fee analysis, and miner coinbase messages
Analyze non-financial data embedded in Bitcoin transactions. OP_RETURN protocols like Runes, Omni Layer, and Counterparty use dedicated outputs for on-chain data. Ordinals inscriptions and BRC-20 tokens store data in witness fields. Stamps use bare multisig encoding. Track each protocol's count, volume, block share, fee revenue, and encoding overhead. Miner coinbase messages reveal pool identity and signaling activity.
