Etch

Use this endpoint to create a rune as defined in https://docs.ordinals.com/runes.html

• Runes are available on testnet only until block height 840000.

• Currently rune etching requires inscribing a file, file can be anything and has no impact on the etched rune.

• Rune names become available over time. Refer to official documentation for details.

• Rune supply must equal premine + terms.cap * terms.amount

• After the order is paid an etchingTx object will apper. The object will have a commit and a reveal field: commit is the txid of the commit transaction, reveal is the the txid of the reveal transaction

• Rune orders take six blocks due to the commit-reveal protocol. After a rune is committed, the order will enter state waiting-reveal, six blocks later when the reveal is broadcast the order will be in state completed
