Inscriptions, LTC-20, and Runes

Litecoin hosts Bitcoin-style inscriptions on individual litoshis (the smallest LTC unit), the experimental LTC-20 token standard (a BRC-20-style fork; first ticker often called LITE), and Runes - UTXO-native fungible tokens used by modern Litecoin markets. Balances and tickers are off-consensus: they come from indexers, not Litecoin Core rules, so markets can disagree until tooling converges. Prefer litescribe.io and ordinalslite.com; lookalikes such as litescribe.com or ordinalslite.xyz are not the projects.

Popular Runes / inscription indexers for Litecoin: Litescribe Indexer (powers balances you see on Litescribe), Unielon (LTC-20 and Runes for its marketplace), and Best-in-Slot (a major Bitcoin index stack gradually extending toward Litecoin).
