Overview
Rebar Data runs indexers for Bitcoin's major metaprotocols, giving you instant API access to token balances, smart contract state, inscriptions, and naming data — without running your own infrastructure.
Supported Metaprotocols
Alkanes
WASM smart contracts on Bitcoin L1, built on the Protorunes framework.
Runes
Efficient fungible tokens using OP_RETURN.
BRC-20
Fungible tokens using JSON inscriptions.
Ordinals
Inscriptions and digital artifacts on individual satoshis.
Bitmap
Digital land parcels mapped to Bitcoin block numbers.
SNS
Human-readable names on Bitcoin (Sats Name Service).
How It Works
Metaprotocol state isn't part of Bitcoin's consensus — it's derived by indexers that replay every block, parse embedded data (inscriptions, OP_RETURN messages, witness envelopes), and compute the current state. Rebar runs these indexers and serves the results through its API.
Each indexer produces verification hashes so you can confirm consistency against other implementations of the same protocol.
