# How to Etch Runes?

This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of etching with Runes. This guide will use the UniSat Runes service on Fractal as a reference.

You may visit <https://fractal.unisat.io/runes/inscribe> to get the page.

Input the parameters as needed.

***For example***：

The ***Rune*** Name is everyone.loves.nature.forever,

***Symbol*** is E,

It is ***Mintable***, and ***Amount*** was settled as 500, ***Cap*** for 4,000,000.

The ***Premine*** is 15,000.

**With Logo** option, select whether to add a logo for Runes.

And leave other fields empty.Then you could input the above needed text as shown below,

*Please note: you need to wait for 5 blocks confirmations for etching.*

After the Rune is confirmed as valid, the etcher will get 15000E everyone.loves.nature.forever. Meantime, the others can mint Rune everyone.loves.nature.forever.

Following is the introduction for each parameter:

***Rune:*** Runes name, (currently you can etch 13-26 characters long, can be separated by a middle dot ·, and the separator does not count towards the character limit).

***Symbol (optional):*** The symbol after the number of runes, which can be A-Z or empty. If empty, a general symbol ¤ will be used.

***Mintable:*** Toggle off to disable further minting. Runes are only premine upon creation.

***Amount:*** The Amount field contains the amount of runes each mint transaction receives.

***Cap:*** The number of times a rune may be minted is its cap. A mint is closed once the cap is reached.

***Advanced options:*** Set up premining, divisible figures, and the starting or ending block where minting is possible (optional).

***Premine :*** The etcher of a rune may optionally allocate to themselves units of the runes being etched. This allocation is called a premine.

***Divisibility (optional):*** A rune's divisibility is how finely it may be divided into its atomic units. Divisibility is expressed as the number of digits permissible after the decimal point in the amount of runes. A rune with divisibility 0 may not be divided. A unit of a rune with divisibility 1 may be divided into ten sub-units, a rune with divisibility 2 may be divided into a hundred, and so on.

***Absolute Height:*** The absolute block height (based on the current block height).

***Relative Height：***&#x54;he range of relative block heights (based on the block of etching real).

***Start Height：***&#x41; mint is open starting in the block with the given start height.

***End Height：***&#x41; rune may not be minted in or after the block with the given end height.
