- [How many Degents are there?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/how-many-degents-are-there/): 10,000 when fully minted, beside the live inscribed count.
- [How much of Bitcoin's blockspace do tokens use?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/how-much-blockspace-do-tokens-use/): The live share of chain bytes the books attribute to tokens, with its height.
- [What are Book A, B and C?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-are-book-a-b-and-c/): BTI's three answers to how many bytes back a token, from widest to narrowest.

- [What does "as of block H" mean?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-does-as-of-block-h-mean/): Every block.space figure names the block height it is synchronised to.
- [What does "not measured" mean?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-does-not-measured-mean/): No figure exists for that thing yet; block.space writes it in words, never as 0.
- [What is a rune?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-a-rune/): A fungible token whose operations ride an OP_RETURN runestone; BTI decodes runes itself.
- [What is a sub-1 sat/vB transaction?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-a-sub-1-sat-vb-transaction/): A transaction paying below Bitcoin Core's default floor of 1 sat/vB, which Blockspace Labs' node relays.
- [What is an inscription?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-an-inscription/): A file that ord binds to a sat; BTI treats it as content, and the sat as the token.

- [What is blockspace?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-blockspace/): The capacity of Bitcoin's blocks, as the block.space documents define and BTI measures it.
- [What is BTI?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-bti/): The Blockspace Token Indexer: the instrument behind every block.space number.
- [What is BTP?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-btp/): A draft (0.1) of the Blockspace Token Protocol, whose subject is blockspace itself. It does not exist.
- [What is BYTES?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-bytes/): A draft (0.2) describing a fungible token of one per byte of consumed blockspace. It does not exist.
- [What is carriage?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-carriage/): Bytes a token merely rode: measured in full, never counted as backing.
- [What is Scribbit?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-scribbit/): A planned Blockspace Holdings product at scribb.it, coming soon.
- [What is the Shared Claim Axiom?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-the-shared-claim-axiom/): The proposed rule that tokens claiming the same consumed bytes share them equally.
- [What is the witness discount?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-the-witness-discount/): SegWit weighs witness bytes at a quarter of other bytes, so they cost a quarter as much.
- [Where can I get the data?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/where-can-i-get-the-data/): From block.space's JSON API, and from this wiki's machine-readable files.
- [Why does block.space count bytes and not vbytes?](https://blockspace.wiki/answers/why-bytes-not-vbytes/): Raw bytes are the measure; vbytes are kept beside them because the ratio is the witness discount.
