What Are CBRC-20 Tokens?
CBRC-20 tokens are fungible tokens on Bitcoin that follow the CBRC-20 standard, a lighter version of BRC-20. Like BRC-20, it uses Ordinals inscriptions, but it stores token data in a more compact way. This list ranks CBRC-20 tokens by market cap, with live prices and 24h changes. CBRC-20 is a niche standard, so few tokens use it.
Quick Facts
- Blockchain: Bitcoin, using Ordinals inscriptions.
- Launch: The CBRC-20 standard was proposed in 2023.
- Creator: It was proposed by a developer known as CyBORg, which is why it is also written Cy[bord] CBRC-20.
- Based on: BRC-20. It follows the same token rules but changes how the data is stored.
- Main goal: Smaller, cheaper inscriptions and simpler indexing.
How CBRC-20 Tokens Work
BRC-20 puts token actions in a JSON text file inside each inscription. CBRC-20 moves this data into the metadata and metaprotocol fields of the inscription instead. These fields were added in newer versions of the Ordinals software. Deploy data is stored in CBOR, a compact binary format. Mint and transfer actions need almost no extra data. Because the inscriptions are smaller, they cost less in Bitcoin fees. An indexer reads the inscriptions and calculates each wallet's balance.
CBRC-20 vs BRC-20
- Data format: BRC-20 uses JSON in the inscription body. CBRC-20 uses metadata fields and CBOR.
- Cost: CBRC-20 inscriptions are smaller, so fees are usually lower.
- Rules: Both follow the same basic token logic for deploy, mint and transfer.
- Support: BRC-20 is much better known and has far wider wallet and market support. See the BRC-20 tokens list.
Risks
CBRC-20 is experimental. Few wallets, markets and indexers support it, so tokens can be hard to buy, sell or even see. Trading volume is often very low. Prices can swing widely, and tokens may lose all their value.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CBRC-20?
CBRC-20 is a token standard for fungible tokens on Bitcoin, built on Ordinals inscriptions. It was proposed in 2023 by a developer known as CyBORg as a lighter version of BRC-20. It keeps the same token rules but stores the data in inscription metadata, which makes inscriptions smaller and cheaper.
- How do CBRC-20 tokens work?
CBRC-20 tokens use the metadata and metaprotocol fields of Ordinals inscriptions. A deploy inscription stores token details in CBOR, a compact data format. Mint and transfer inscriptions need very little data. Indexers read these inscriptions on the Bitcoin blockchain and calculate how many tokens each wallet holds.
- What is the difference between CBRC-20 and BRC-20?
Both are token standards on Bitcoin that use Ordinals inscriptions and follow similar rules. BRC-20 stores token actions as JSON text in the inscription body. CBRC-20 stores them in metadata fields, so inscriptions are smaller and usually cheaper. BRC-20 has much wider support from wallets, markets and indexers.
- What are the top CBRC-20 tokens?
The list above ranks CBRC-20 tokens by market cap, with prices that update live. Very few tokens use this standard, so the list is short. We do not give investment advice. To compare tokens, look at market cap, trading volume, 24h change and how long the token has been trading.
- How do I buy CBRC-20 tokens?
To buy CBRC-20 tokens, you need a Bitcoin wallet that supports Ordinals and the CBRC-20 standard. You also need some BTC to pay network fees. Then you can trade on a marketplace that lists CBRC-20 tokens. Support is limited, so check that your wallet shows CBRC-20 balances before you buy.
- Are CBRC-20 tokens safe?
CBRC-20 tokens are high risk. The standard is experimental, and few wallets and markets support it. Low trading volume can make tokens hard to sell. Balances depend on indexers, which can make mistakes. Sending inscriptions with an unsupported wallet can lose them. Only risk money you can afford to lose.
