Rats is a unique meme token launched in March 2023. It quickly gained popularity in the crypto community and is based on the Bitcoin network, using the BRC-20 token standard​​. The token is inspired by rats, considered the most prolific mammal on Earth​​. Unlike many tokens aiming for significant roles in the blockchain ecosystem, Rats is created primarily for fun, embodying the playful and experimental nature of meme tokens​​.

Rats utilizes the innovative Ordinal protocol, allowing for the documentation and identification of digital content in satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin. This protocol supports a variety of content types, including text, images, audio, video, video games, and full code, fostering diverse applications and enhancing Bitcoin blockchain usability​​.

The token's success is attributed to its enthusiastic community, which aligns with the typical success pattern of meme tokens driven by collective interest and exploration of blockchain technology​​.

Rats doesn't have a whitepaper, official website, or roadmap. Its reliance on the BRC-20 standard and integration with Bitcoin suggests a potential for long-term value despite its meme token status​​. The total token supply is 1 trillion Rats.
