๐ŸŒ In conclusion, it's essential to understand the technical and operational differences between BRC-20 and ERC-20. While the ecosystem around BRC-20 will continue to evolve, it is unlikely that it will supersede smart-contract based DeFi

๐Ÿš€ BRC-20 is also less efficient than ERC-20. Any mildly complex system built around BRC-20 heavily relies on caching. In contrast, ERC-20 is extremely efficient, cryptographically protected, and operates seamlessly on the blockchain

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Any DeFi ecosystem built around BRC-20 will need off-chain tools. This requirement brings in a level of centralization and potential vulnerability. On the other hand, with ERC-20, everything is fully stored and operated on the blockchain

๐Ÿšง Contrary to popular belief, BRC-20 isn't fully on the Bitcoin blockchain. Yes, the text is stored as part of Taproot Bitcoin transactions, but Bitcoin isn't aware of BRC-20s. You need an external, off-chain tool to parse and calculate balances

๐Ÿช™ BRC-20 doesn't limit the minting of tokens. There is no way of knowing wether a token has been fully minted without parsing every โ€œmintโ€ text record. Conversely, ERC-20 ensures that only a predetermined amount of a token can exist, providing a more controlled ecosystem.

๐Ÿ“ With BRC-20, there are no numeric balances. Instead, you need to parse everything from the text. In contrast, ERC-20 gives each address an integer balance, simplifying and enforcing the proper handling of assets

๐Ÿค” It's crucial to understand what these tokens are. BRC-20 is essentially a piece of text, whereas ERC-20 is a computer program. BRC-20's capabilities are limited to inscription on the blockchain. ERC-20, on the other hand, allows encoding of any execution logic

๐Ÿ” We can track a single satoshi using these inscriptions. This allows us to trace its journey across transactions, from one taproot address to another. The first satoshi of the first output becomes the vessel for the inscription

๐Ÿ“ An inscription is an arbitrary piece of data attached to an individual satoshi, transforming it into a Bitcoin-native digital artifact. It's like a digital signature, representing something unique and valuable
