About this artifact

Other OP_RETURN protocols (Counterparty, Omni, Open Assets, Factom, ...) are documented in catalog/08 by prefix but lack single representative txids here.

How it was stored

OP_RETURN explicitly marks an output as unspendable and lets it carry a small data payload. Unlike fake-address methods, it does not create a spendable-looking UTXO. That makes it the least deceptive standard way to place small data on-chain.
