Bitcoin Ordinals NFTs are minted on Bitcoin’s base layer using the Ordinal theory through the Ordinals protocol. The aim of Ordinal theory is to give each Satoshi an individual identity, allowing them to be tracked, transferred, and imbued with individual meanings through inscriptions. This allows one Satoshi to be different from another, hence non-fungible.  Want to read more? Check out our new report Bitcoin’s Expanding Ecosystem: Layer-2, DeFi, NFT.
