  1. 4. How Do Bitcoin Runes Work?

Storing Bitcoin Runes

Runes are still highly experimental assets, if you want to get involved, proceed with caution. If you want to interact with Bitcoin Runes, it’s always best to stick to the most intuitive and secure methods. An offline wallet is essential to protect you from online threats, but you’ll also need a wallet compatible with these experimental assets.

To get the best of both worlds, connect a runes-compatible wallet to your Ledger device. Currently, you can’t visualize your runes in Ledger Live, but using your Ledger device alongside a third-party wallet will keep your private keys secure while exploring Runes.
