PANews reported on March 20 that Bitcoin Ordinals browser Ord.io said on the X platform that Ordinals and Runes protocol founder Casey announced an upgrade to the Runes protocol, called "agents," which will allow Runes AMM (automated market maker) to run on Bitcoin L1. Agents use the "interactive transaction construction" function to enable market makers to add liquidity to Runes AMM in a trustless manner. Runes AMM agents will solve the "batch splitting" and memory pool sniping user experience issues associated with trading Runes on Bitcoin L1. The upgrade date for Agents has not yet been announced.
