Deep dives

The ordinals protocol allows for the storage of arbitrary data on the Bitcoin blockchain

The ordinals protocol enables the numbering and tracking of individual sats on the Bitcoin blockchain, providing a way to store arbitrary data. By using the witness data in Bitcoin transactions, users can assign content to specific sats and create what are referred to as 'digital artifacts' or inscriptions. These inscriptions, which include various types of content like images and text, are entirely immutable and decentralized, residing on the Bitcoin blockchain.
