Runes were supposed to be Bitcoin’s memecoins.
The problem was never creating them.
It was trading them.
A Rune doesn’t trade like a Solana memecoin. There’s no bonding curve or pool you can instantly sell into. You list what you own, wait for someone to buy it, then wait for Bitcoin to confirm the trade.
When the market is moving fast, that difference matters.
Etchy is our attempt to give Runes the trading experience they were missing.
When you launch on Etchy, you aren’t choosing between Bitcoin and Solana.
Your coin starts on both.
The Solana side is where the market trades.
It launches on a bonding curve priced in BTC, but users buy and sell with SOL. Trades happen in seconds, there is always a live price, and selling doesn’t depend on finding another person willing to buy your exact listing.
At the same time, Etchy etches the coin as a real Rune on Bitcoin.
The entire Rune supply is held against the Solana supply 1:1.
That means the Solana token isn’t just another copy of a Bitcoin meme.
It represents the same supply.
If you want to hold the Rune on Bitcoin, bridge to Bitcoin.
If you want to trade it quickly again, bridge back to Solana.
One coin, with a liquid Solana market and a real Bitcoin Rune behind it.
We also fixed one of the stranger limitations of Runes: they have almost no identity on their own.
A Rune can have a name, but it can’t natively carry everything people expect from a coin today.
So every Etchy Rune is created together with an inscription in the same Bitcoin transaction.
That inscription permanently connects it to its:
logo
ticker
description
links
Solana contract address
From the Rune’s first block, anyone can see what it is and which Solana market belongs to it.
Even naming is handled differently.
You don’t pick a Rune name and race someone else to etch it first.
Bitcoin assigns the Rune name during the launch, making that name its Bitcoin identifier from the start.
Then the rest of the launch works much closer to what people already expect from Solana:
Your dev buy is included as the first trade of the launch, so nobody can buy before you.
Launching itself is free. You only cover the Bitcoin and Solana network costs, shown in SOL before you approve.
0.25% of every trade goes to the coin creator
Creator fees can be claimed whenever the creator wants.
Once the bonding curve reaches ₿0.115, the coin graduates to a Meteora pool and its liquidity is locked forever.

Buyback and burn: 25% of the fees Etchy earns on every coin buy back $ETCHY, and every token bought is burned forever.
Holder rewards: 0.5% of every trade goes to the top 100 holders of $ETCHY in WBTC, every 4 hours. Ranked and paid by balance × time held: hold more or hold longer, earn more. No rewards for wallets over 4% of the supply.
All automatic. Every buyback, burn and payout is public on etchy.fun/buyback and etchy.fun/rewards.
Runes gave Bitcoin a way to create memecoins.
Etchy gives those memecoins somewhere they can actually move.
A real Rune on Bitcoin.
A real market on Solana.
Connected 1:1.
Bitcoin Runes at Solana speed.
