Ordinals

What Are Ordinals?

Ordinals are a protocol that allows individual satoshis (the smallest units of BTC) to be uniquely identified and inscribed with arbitrary data, such as images, text, or code — enabling NFT-like assets natively on Bitcoin.

Developed by Casey Rodarmor and launched in early 2023, Ordinals use Taproot and SegWit to embed data directly into Bitcoin transactions without changing consensus rules or requiring new tokens.

🔧 How It Works

  • Each satoshi is assigned a unique ordinal number based on its position in the blockchain.

  • An inscription attaches data to a specific satoshi using witness data in a Taproot transaction.

  • The inscribed sat remains part of a UTXO, and can be transferred like any other Bitcoin output.

💡 Key Features

  • 100% on-chain — no external storage or tokens

  • Immutable — data is stored forever on Bitcoin

  • Tokenless — no smart contracts, no ERC/BRC standards

  • UTXO-native — inscriptions live inside Bitcoin’s core structure

📦 What Can Be Inscribed?

  • Images (PNG, JPEG, SVG, WebP)

  • Text (Markdown, JSON, etc.)

  • HTML, JavaScript

  • Any arbitrary data (up to ~4 MB)

Ordinals turn Bitcoin into a canvas for digital artifacts — fully decentralized, permanent, and secured by the Bitcoin network itself.

➱ Send an Ordinal

➱ Transaction Execution

Before the transaction is executed, it must be signed by the required number of Vault owners. Once the confirmation threshold is reached, locate this transaction in the Transactions section -> Queue tab and click the Execute button to start broadcasting of the transaction.
