Where it came from

An original Bitcoin Universe protocol, published 2025.

Where the specification lives

The specification and reference documentation for Z-Runes live in bitcoinuniverseio/docs-zerdinals-and-zrunes and are published at https://bitcoinuniverseio.github.io/docs-zerdinals-and-zrunes/. That site is the authority. This page exists so you can find it and compare it with the rest of the estate.

Bitcoin Universe indexes or implements it in bitcoinuniverseio/index-zcash-metaprotocols.

Support in Bitcoin Universe products

Z-Runes has no marketplace entry in the Core protocol registry, so no Bitcoin Universe product implements a trade path for it. Where a Universe indexer exists, the data is available through that indexer rather than through a product surface.
