Ordinals
What are Ordinals?
Ordinals, commonly called “Bitcoin NFTs,” have been one of the most exciting developments in the Bitcoin ecosystem this year. Technically, Ordinals are a way of attaching or “inscribing” data to individual sats or satoshis (the smallest unit of a Bitcoin at 1/100,000,000) on the Bitcoin blockchain. The term “Ordinal” is derived from Ordinal Theory, a recently developed system for numbering sats in the order they are mined. Sats from Bitcoin’s history hold some significance (for example, the sat associated with the genesis block) and are considered more valuable. This numbering system from Ordinal Theory gives the ordinals their “non-fungible” property necessary to create NFTs or Non-Fungible-Tokens, distinguishing each sat from one another.
* The ranking system of Ordinals defines a ‘cycle’ as the period between conjunctions when a halving and difficulty adjustment coincide. This happens every six halvings and the first will occur in 2032.

WHAT IS BITCOIN MINING? Bitcoin is known as a proof-of-work (PoW) network. PoW networks require “miners” to solve computational puzzles to add blocks to the blockchain. Miners who supply more computational power to the network have a higher chance of processing a block, and successful miners are compensated with Bitcoin tokens. Transactions on the Bitcoin network are grouped into blocks, and then block data is put through a cryptographic algorithm...
INTRODUCTION Blockchain networks initially were more like closed-loop systems, meaning the value created and traded on-chain was confined to crypto native assets. As technology has developed, blockchains and the real world are becoming more intertwined. Crypto protocols and TradFi institutions alike are looking to tokenize real-world assets and benefit from transaction efficiencies, cost savings, interoperability, composability, and transparency. Protocols have already begun bringing assets like dollars and treasuries on-chain while...
