How to split Bitcoin Runes

We’ve left no stone unturned when it comes to the buzzing Runes Protocol. We’ve published educational pieces introducing you to the Runes Protocol as well as where to get them.

We also recently posted an article on how to buy and sell Runes. This time, we’ll show you how to split Bitcoin Runes. Runes are listed in packs and this can sometimes put off crypto users who don’t have enough funds to acquire them. This also reduces their odds of selling.

 A solution to this is to split your Rune before listing. This concept of splitting your Rune is just a process of reducing the quantity of Runes you want to list, which also significantly drops the value or cost of the listed Rune.

You can see a list of all your Runes once you visit the portfolio page. Once the page opens select a Rune from your list that you’d like to split. From the image below, I do not own any Rune in my connected wallet, hence the message “You don’t have any Runes.”

Step 3 – Split your Rune

After selecting your Rune, you will see two interactable buttons “List” and “Split”on the right side of the tab. Click on split and specify the number of splits you want to do. 

Assuming the Rune I own is DOGTOTHEMOON, with a total quantity of 88,800. Once I click on split, I can reduce this quantity into 16 smaller packs with a quantity of 4,440 each.
