BRC20 is an experimental format standard for issuing fungible tokens on the Bitcoin network. The main difference between BRC20 and ERC20 lies in the fact that the Bitcoin network does not support smart contracts.

Instead, BRC20 accomplishes token contract deployment, minting, and transfer by utilizing the Ordinals protocol, which sets inscriptions in JSON data format. In other words, developers can create and issue fungible tokens using the Ordinals protocol.
