#1 about 2 min

Introduction to Run on Bitcoin and interactive tokens

The emergence of usable platforms for interactive tokenized objects called jigs.

#2 about 4 min

Defining jigs and the Run environment architecture

Core components including the Run library and services that manage tokenized objects on the blockchain.

#3 about 4 min

Creating and modifying jigs using the browser console

Initializing a mock network to spawn jig classes and instances while tracking transaction identifiers.

#4 about 4 min

Object-oriented properties mapping to blockchain tokens

Applying composition, inheritance, and encapsulation to permissionless tokens without a central server.

#5 about 7 min

Demonstrating user ownership through an idle style game

How blockchain-based logic ensures players fully own their in-game assets and can easily export them.

#6 about 4 min

Structuring application logic and token ownership interactions

Writing class constraints and execution conditions to prevent unauthorized behavior on smart objects.

#7 about 7 min

Solving layer two execution overhead with state caching

Replacing transaction graph replays with validated local and server-side caches to instantly fetch token state.

#8 about 4 min

Implementing cache fallback logic and backend services

Prioritizing local memory and storage retrievals before hitting global infrastructure components for state retrieval.

#9 about 3 min

Run protocol development roadmap and upcoming public beta

Transitioning to a stable base protocol to ensure backward compatibility and open-source availability.

#10 about 4 min

Differences between token duplication and unique instances

Why duplicating token logic creates an entirely different operational entity on the blockchain network.

#11 about 3 min

Comparing off-chain javascript execution with bitcoin script

Offloading complex operational logic from layer one to a specialized execution environment that retains robust security.

#12 about 6 min

Managing functionality for fungible tokens and atomic swaps

Extending base classes to support numerical splits, combining methods, and partially signed transaction execution.

#13 about 4 min

Mapping NoSQL data conventions to off-chain blockchain caches

Using NoSQL models instead of relational architectures when handling distributed objects located strictly via key-value mappings.
