# BRC-20 tick

URL: https://blockspace.wiki/glossary/brc-20-tick/

A BRC-20 token, named by its tick. Its identity is the case-folded tick. A tick is a token because its units transfer by themselves under the ledger's rules; the inscription that carries a BRC-20 operation is not the token, so a BRC-20 mint has two claimants, the sat and the tick, which divide the bytes they share.
