 # runestone-lib
 
-A Typescript implementation of the Bitcoin Runestone protocol
+This is a Typescript implementation of the Bitcoin Runestone protocol.
+To see the original version, please go to the [Ordinals repo](/ordinals/ord);
+you can find various [data structures](/ordinals/ord/tree/master/crates/ordinals/src) and
+[indexer implementation](/ordinals/ord/blob/master/src/index/updater/rune_updater.rs) there.
+General documentation of the runes protocol and how runestones are used can be found
+[here](https://docs.ordinals.com/runes.html).
+
+## Encode Runestone
+
+To encode a runestone, use `encodeRunestone()` method, with an example below:
+
+```ts
+import { encodeRunestone } from '@magiceden-oss/runestone-lib';
+
+// To deploy a new rune ticker
+// (this will require a commitment in an input script)
+const etchingRunestone = encodeRunestone({
+  etching: {
+    runeName: 'THIS•IS•AN•EXAMPLE•RUNE',
+    divisibility: 0,
+    premine: 0,
+    symbol: '',
+    terms: {
+      cap: 69,
+      amount: 420,
+      offset: {
+        end: 9001,
+      },
+    },
+    turbo: true,
+  },
+});
+
+// To mint UNCOMMON•GOODS
+const mintRunestone = encodeRunestone({
+  mint: {
+    block: 1n,
+    tx: 0,
+  },
+});
+
+// Transfer 10 UNCOMMON•GOODS to output 1
+const edictRunestone = encodeRunestone({
+  edicts: [
+    {
+      id: {
+        block: 1n,
+        tx: 0,
+      },
+      amount: 10n,
+      output: 1,
+    },
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+## Decode Runestone
+
+Decoding a runestone within a transaction is as simple as passing in
+the transaction data from Bitcoin Core RPC server.
+
+```ts
+import {
+  tryDecodeRunestone,
+  isRunestoneArtifact,
+  RunestoneSpec,
+  Cenotaph
+} from '@magiceden-oss/runestone-lib';
+
+// transaction retrieved with getrawtransaction RPC call
+const tx = ...;
+
+const artifact = tryDecodeRunestone(tx);
+
+if (isRunestone(artifact)) {
+  const runestone: RunestoneSpec = artifact;
+  ...
+} else {
+  const cenotaph: Cenotaph = artifact;
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+## Indexing
+
+To index, initialize a RunestoneIndexer, implement the interface arguments
+to RunestoneIndexer constructor. Then it is just a matter of start() to finish
+initializing the indexer, and then controlling the rate of syncing indexing
+to latest state in RPC server.
+
+```ts
+// Initialize indexer
+const indexer = new RunestoneIndexer(...);
+
+// Preps the indexer to be ready to run updateRuneUtxoBalances()
+await indexer.start()
+
+// Example of a polling job running updateRuneUtxoBalances()
+// every minute, with stop cleanup handling
+let stop = false;
+...
+
+const intervalId = setInterval(async () => {
+  try {
+    await index.updateRuneUtxoBalances();
+  } catch (err) {
+    console.error('Error occurred while indexing runes', err);
+  }
+
+  if (stop) {
+    clearInterval(intervalId);
+    await indexer.stop();
+  }
+}, 60 * 1000 /* one minute */);
+
+```
