An emerging star in the changing crypto sphere is the Bitcoin ordinal token
Bitcoin Ordinals Token, or ORDI, is a new and innovative token that is linked to the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol, which allows users to create and trade non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Bitcoin blockchain. ORDI is a BRC-20 token that represents the value of the inscriptions, which are pieces of information, such as text or images, that are embedded into satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin. ORDI aims to create a new ecosystem of Bitcoin NFTs that can be used for various purposes, such as digital art, collectibles, gaming, and identity.
ORDI was launched in September 223 by Ordinals, a company that develops and operates the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol. The protocol uses a novel technique called Ordinal Encoding, which converts any data into a sequence of numbers that can be written to satoshis using the Ordinals protocol. The protocol also uses a decentralized network of nodes, called Ordinators, that verify and store the inscriptions on the Bitcoin blockchain. The protocol is compatible with any Bitcoin wallet or service that supports BRC-20 tokens.
ORDI has a fixed supply of 21 million tokens, which matches the maximum supply of Bitcoin. The tokens are distributed through various methods, such as minting, burning, staking, and airdropping. Minting is the process of creating new ORDI tokens by inscribing data into satoshis using the Ordinals protocol. Burning is the process of destroying ORDI tokens by removing the inscriptions from satoshis using the Ordinals protocol. Staking is the process of locking ORDI tokens in a smart contract to earn rewards and participate in the governance of the protocol. Airdropping is the process of distributing ORDI tokens to eligible users for free or at a discount.
