DESCRIPTION:On the fateful night of August 27, 2022, under the neon glow of the BitBlock Boom casino party, @veryordinally crossed paths with @rodarmor ; proving that sometimes, the universe values degenerate gambling and partying.

NAME:DANNY YANG

DESCRIPTION:Danny Yang’s contributions to Ordinals are so precise and groundbreaking, it’s like the infinite (on-chain) Monkey theorem-but instead of random typing, he’s the one monkey with a Stanford Ph.D. and a Harvard degree, actually writing Shakespeare on the blockchain.

NAME:LIFO

DESCRIPTION:LIFOFIFO, a key contributor to the Ordinals protocol, is renowned for his advanced tooling and a plethora of innovative collections. When it comes to work, he’s actually First In, Last Out. His work greatly enhances accessibility and functionality within the ecosystem, making him a driving force in the Ordinals community. While countless wizard collections exist on Ordinals, LIFO stands apart as the true wizard of Ord.

NAME:ELOC

DESCRIPTION:Cypherpunks write code.

NAME:DEEZY

DESCRIPTION:From Baseball to Bitcoin: Danny went from swinging bats to routing sats. A former pro ballplayer turned Lightning Network pioneer, he now runs one of the busiest nodes on the network, moving millions in BTC quicker than a fastball ⚾️

NAME:SATOSHI LITE

DESCRIPTION:On August 21st, 2012, Charlie Lee posted a proposal to add proof-of-stake to Bitcoin on the BitcoinTalk forum. This wasn't an asset scheme, but did use the ordinal algorithm, and was implemented but never deployed. Credited in the ordinals documentation. https://docs.ordinals.com/overview.html https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102355.0 Rumour has it Charlie sold all of his Litecoin in 2017 to go all in on Ordinals in 2022🫣 https://reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/7kzw6q/litecoin_price_tweets_and_conflict_of_interest/?st=jbf703n1&sh=70857870

NAME:TERROR

DESCRIPTION:Zoomer apprentice-wizard Liam Scalzulli makes his first commit to the ord repo on 2022-01-28, bringing eternal glory to the Scalzulli name. At current prices, however, the family no longer speaks. https://github.com/terror

NAME:ERIN

DESCRIPTION:Erin Redwing, CEO of @InscribAtlantis , President of @ordinalsorg , co-host of @hellmoneypod and undisputed champion of girl pseudoscience🔮 More importantly, she’s the unexpected stabilising force in the entire protocol. Casey would’ve crashed out long ago without her lunar calendar

NAME:RIJNDAEL

DESCRIPTION:Rijndael: not just the symmetric block cipher that became the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), but also a nod to the pseudo-anonymous wizard-clad developer; a relentless innovator and boundary-breaker who turns impossibilities into inevitabilities, one block at a time.

NAME:CBSPEARS

DESCRIPTION:Charlie Spears, ordicord overseer, mining maven, and DJ dynamo. Dave Grohl may have lost his “nicest guy in rock” accolade, but Charlie is the nicest guy in ordinals.

NAME:NULLISH

DESCRIPTION:@null_ish was the first artist to hunt down and inscribe sats from both Hal Finney’s Block 78 and Satoshi Nakamoto’s Block 9, turning historic Bitcoin into living, on-chain art. His sat hunting isn’t just technical wizardry, it’s digital archaeology. By tracing and inscribing these early, iconic sats, he transformed Bitcoin’s deepest roots into conceptual, generative works that are as meaningful as they are rare. ?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿ http://nulli.sh

DESCRIPTION:Founder of Rare Satoshi Society, early inscriber, and curator of high-fidelity Bitcoin art. Pioneer of rare sat hunting tools like Sat Hunter Pro, tracing sats with historic and numerical significance. An early Ordinals advocate and one of the key voices treating Bitcoin as both medium and message.

NAME:FAR

DESCRIPTION:FAR is an artist blending AI, architecture, and Bitcoin. He helped launch Taproot Wizards, reviving a timeless meme as on-chain art, and created Infinites, a GAN-based collection now preserved via Ordinals. He’s called Ordinals an art project in itself, fitting for someone who’s worked on Super Bowl sets, studied at Harvard, and now paints directly on Bitcoin.

NAME:XCPINATA

DESCRIPTION:XCPinata is a digital artist who inscribed over a decade of work (2010–2023) onto Bitcoin using the Ordinals protocol. Their piece Cleansing (Inscription #2,479) was featured in Sotheby’s Natively Digital: An Ordinals Curated Sale, marking a historic moment for early Bitcoin-native art. The project was sparked by a chance encounter with Casey at the Bitcoin Renaissance Gallery, which inspired XCPinata to inscribe their entire archive directly onto Bitcoin. This body of work spans inscription numbers #1,078 to #2,653.

NAME:SHROOMTOSHI

DESCRIPTION:Shroomtoshi didn’t just inscribe early, he is the early. Sub-100 inscriptions read like his personal diary. Pretty sure he inscribed his lunch somewhere between #35 and #37. Through the BitcoinShrooms series, Shroomtoshi has established a unique niche that bridges digital art and bitcoin. His work encapsulates a deep understanding of Bitcoin's ethos, aiming to educate and inspire appreciation for the cultural and technological revolution of Bitcoin. https://ordinals.com/inscription/70652807

NAME:BILLY

DESCRIPTION:Billy’s journey into blockchain art led to Semipermanent, featured in Sotheby’s Natively Digital: Art on Bitcoin (May 2024).

He also launched "BitMON," a collection of 150 unique 16-bit animated Monsters inscribed on Black Satoshis, marking his first major Ordinals project.

NAME:SCRILLA

DESCRIPTION:Rare Scrilla, OG Rare Pepe artist and DJ, he launched Fake Rares in 2021 to bring Pepes back to Bitcoin. He dropped a Ghostface Killah Ordinal early on, but the real OG drops were on Counterparty (XCP). Known for embracing dank aesthetics, @ScrillaVentura turned a banned Rare Pepe card into a memetic movement and pioneered token-gated music.

NAME:ISABEL

DESCRIPTION:Isabel Foxen Duke is a key figure in the Ordinals space. She managed communications for the protocol (Feb - May 2023) and played a pivotal role in its early adoption, working closely with prominent creators. She is now a general partner at Unbroken Chain, the first Ordinals-focused liquid fund backed by BTC Inc. She invests in and trades Bitcoin-native assets. Isabel also hosts Bitcoin Rails, a podcast exploring Ordinals, Bitcoin tech, and Layer 2 developments.

NAME:UDI

DESCRIPTION:Clad in a wizard robe, Udi became the first to cast spells on a Bitcoin conference stage, harvesting maxi tears for his alchemical brews. Not only did he encourage hygiene among Ordinal influencers, he also onboarded many into the realm of Bitcoin JPEGs. Often a polarising figure for his takes on Runes, hero to some, villain to others. But one thing’s certain: Udi and the Taproot Wizards have pushed softfork awareness in Ordinals like no one else, while opening minds to alternative use cases and cultural innovation on Bitcoin.

NAME:RIPCACHE

DESCRIPTION:With pixels as his palette and the blockchain as his canvas, ripcache etched art into satoshis long before it was fashionable. Named after the Raster Image Processor cache, which nods to both print heritage and digital rebellion. Part archivist, part anarchist, he redefined what permanence means in a digital world. Known for glitchy aesthetics and sharp commentary, his work walks the line between beauty and bytecode.

NAME:ZKSHARK

DESCRIPTION:“You met me at a very strange time in my life.” zkShark was a pivotal early voice in the Ordinals movement, an ex-Wall Street defector turned on-chain anarchist. He recognised Ordinals’ cultural power from the start, framing Bitcoin not just as money, but as a canvas for digital permanence. He shaped the narrative around rare sats, inscriptions, and Bitcoin’s rebirth as a creative, decentralised frontier. Beyond writing, he backed principles with action, donating to Free Ross and championing cypherpunk values. His flagship project, Ordinal Maxi Biz (OMB), fuses rare sat art, and rebellious aesthetics into a decentralised cultural movement, Bitcoin as resistance, not product. Mandatory reading: https://zkshark.substack.com/p/ordinals-inscriptions-and-rare-sats

NAME:CHAINSZY

DESCRIPTION:As the creator behind @bearmarketer , he bridged blockchains with vision, burning his Solana-born bears onto Bitcoin the moment he recognised where permanence truly lives. The first bear crossed the threshold at inscription #46,373. Not just a transfer, but a declaration. Arguably web3’s sharpest memer, bending humour into commentary, signal into satire. No one is off-limits, regardless of status. Whether collaborating with berkinbags on physical pieces or building Pepemarketers alongside HODLsolana, his work moves with intention. Across chains, across formats, across audiences. He’s not chasing trends. He’s setting traps for them.

DESCRIPTION:The infamous BIP? The rebel of Bitcoin Improvement Proposals. https://github.com/casey/ord/blob/master/bip.mediawiki

NAME:INCRIPTION 0

DESCRIPTION:Cyber vandalism goes brrrrrrrrr-immortalising a timeless reminder of mortality. A cheeky memento, etched into the blockchain forever, because even in a world of ones and zeros, the inevitability of the end deserves its blockspace. https://ordinals.com/inscription/6fb976ab49dcec017f1e201e84395983204ae1a7c2abf7ced0a85d692e442799i0

NAME:INSCRIPTION 1

DESCRIPTION:The duality of man. Inscription #1 reminds us that while our technology reaches for immortality, our humour stays forever rooted in the juvenile. A masterpiece of high-tech lowbrow! h/t @rot13maxi https://ordinals.com/inscription/26482871f33f1051f450f2da9af275794c0b5f1c61ebf35e4467fb42c2813403i0

NAME:ILLEGITIMATE BITCOIN TXS

DESCRIPTION:The debate over Bitcoin's purpose, whether it should solely facilitate financial transactions or also serve as a decentralized data store isn’t new. “Piling every proof-of-work quorum system in the world into one dataset doesn’t scale. Bitcoin and BitDNS can be used separately. Users shouldn’t have to download all of both to use one or the other.” - Satoshi (Dec. 2010) h/t @pourteaux https://read.pourteaux.xyz/p/illegitimate-bitcoin-transactions

NAME:BOUNTY

DESCRIPTION:18 Aug '22 - Casey posts the first Sat bounty #0 to find a sat whose ordinal number ends with 0 and is also the first sat of the output. Reward: 100000 sats. Claimed by @count_null on the 19 Aug '22 and reward sent, but returned to Casey. Sat bounty #1 of 200000 sats is claimed by @ordinalsindex for submitting a UTXO containing the oldest sat.

NAME:MAINNET

DESCRIPTION:The first Ordinals trade between @RarePepeMaxi and @rodarmor , where Casey snagged Art Bell time traveller symbol #123 for 100,000 sats, might just be the new Bitcoin pizza moment. Sure, it's a steal now - but give it a decade, and those sats could buy him a fleet of time machines. https://ordinals.com/inscription/d5f34cdcc4ac20c303dc2fef1858aafbae4657f28da2fb3ebade2cccde4172b9i0

NAME:CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION

DESCRIPTION:23 Jan '23 - First genitalia on ordinals, BTC whitepaper (pdf), first video all inscribed. Truly a trifecta: tech, intellect, and... well, anatomy. The timechain is now a Renaissance gallery.

NAME:BETA

DESCRIPTION:Ord moves out of alpha. https://github.com/ordinals/ord/releases/tag/0.15.0

NAME:CHEEK CLAPPING

DESCRIPTION:Bug found by alexha123123 on GitHub. To etch a rune, you must first mine a transaction which commits to the rune being etched, followed by an etching transaction which spends the commit transaction output which commits to the rune. The commit transaction must have at least six confirmations as of the block in which the etching is mined. We were getting the number of confirmations from Bitcoin Core, but, if Bitcoin Core is ahead of ord, Bitcoin Core will report the number of confirmations the commit transaction has as of Bitcoin Core's block height, which will be larger than the number confirmations it actually had as of the etching transaction block ― @rodarmor https://github.com/ordinals/ord/commit/abd9654d7f265ecbc01b324c7489c1d02d9d0037

NAME:ALPHA

DESCRIPTION:And back we go, what with all that runes nonsense. https://github.com/ordinals/ord/pull/3315

NAME:RUNES

DESCRIPTION:The Runes protocol, developed by Casey Rodarmor, the creator of Ordinals, is a new standard for issuing fungible tokens directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. Unlike previous methods, Runes integrates seamlessly with Bitcoin's Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) model, aiming to reduce network congestion and enhance efficiency. Total fees in the halving block: 37.626 BTC or $2,402,245 https://mempool.space/block/0000000000000000000320283a032748cef8227873ff4872689bf23f1cda83a5

NAME:RODARMOR RARITY

DESCRIPTION:The Rodarmor Rarity Index, introduced by Casey Rodarmor, categorizes satoshis—the smallest units of Bitcoin—based on their creation during significant blockchain events. The classifications are: common: Any sat that is not the first sat of its block uncommon: The first sat of each block rare: The first sat of each difficulty adjustment period epic: The first sat of each halving epoch legendary: The first sat of each cycle mythic: The first sat of the genesis block

NAME:PUBLIC GOODS

DESCRIPTION:OCM were the first to inscribe the javascript libraries for compression, Three.js, and p5.js for others to use via Recursive Inscriptions. Eloc developed the Ord Package Manager, a tool that simplifies the integration of JavaScript modules with the Ordinals protocol. Lifofifo created Elements by Wizards of Ord, a collection of libraries designed for inscribing generative art ordinals on Bitcoin. https://github.com/jokie88/ordinalpublicgoods

NAME:REINSCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION:Reinscription is the process of creating multiple Ordinals that point to the same Satoshi. Once inscribed, they remain linked and trade together within the same UTXO, enabling dynamic additions to immutable assets. The Nakamoto Archives is the first fully re-inscribed Ordinals collection, preserving every email and forum post by Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. This collection comprises 576 satoshis, each inscribed three times to form 1,728 digital artifacts. https://satoshinakamoto.art

NAME:PARENT-CHILD

DESCRIPTION:Parent-child provenance establishes hierarchical relationships between inscriptions, enhancing on-chain authenticity and ownership tracking. Introduced by Casey Rodarmor, this feature was integrated into the Ordinals Protocol on September 7, 2023. The @OnChainMonkey (OCM) Dimensions collection is notable as one of the first to implement parent-child inscriptions within the Ordinals protocol. This collection, inscribed in February 2023, showcased the innovative use of hierarchical relationships to establish verifiable provenance and organize digital assets on Bitcoin.

NAME:BRC-20

DESCRIPTION:BRC-20 is an experimental token standard on Bitcoin, enabling fungible tokens using the Ordinals protocol. It uses JSON inscriptions on satoshis to define token parameters and operations. BRC-20 tokens expand Bitcoin's use cases by enabling tokenization fully on-chain, but they face scalability issues, higher transaction fees, and limited programmability.

NAME:BREAKER OF JPEGS

DESCRIPTION:I AM BECOME DEATH, DESTROYER OF JPEGS. h/t @SuperTestnet https://github.com/supertestnet/breaker-of-jpegs

NAME:CURSED

DESCRIPTION:Technically valid inscriptions that didn’t conform to the original Ordinals protocol but still exist due to edge cases. Main methods for creating cursed inscriptions: Reinscriptions Batch Inscriptions Parent-Child Inscriptions OP_66 (a unique "cheat code") They were assigned negative inscription numbers because the methods used weren’t yet supported by ord. Adding positive numbers retroactively would disrupt the numbering of all subsequent inscriptions, which collectors opposed. h/t @sanjfomojis

NAME:JUBILEE

DESCRIPTION:In January 2024 (Block 824543), the Jubilee marked the end of cursed inscriptions. After this block, edge-case methods that created cursed inscriptions began producing regular inscription numbers.

NAME:DELEGATE

Delegation allows an inscription to nominate another inscription as its delegate. When a delegate is assigned, requests for the content of the original inscription will return the content of the delegate. This feature enables efficient copying of inscriptions. https://docs.ordinals.com/inscriptions/delegate.html This inscription: https://ordinals.com/inscription/128 is a delegate of inscription #128: https://ordinals.com/inscription/70281197 By leveraging delegation, inscriptions can efficiently mirror content - or "spam," as LukeDashJr calls it, reducing duplication while expanding creative possibilities.< /span>

NAME:RECURSION

DESCRIPTION:Recursion elevates the possibilities for Ordinals by enabling dynamic interactions, generative processes, and the creation of intricate on-chain projects - all while adhering to Bitcoin's immutable and decentralized ethos. It allows creators to go beyond the 4MB block limit by composing and referencing multiple smaller inscriptions, unlocking limitless potential for modularity and scalability. An overview is available here: https://docs.ordinals.com/inscriptions/recursion.html If you prefer brevity, just look up "recursion" in a dictionary - it’ll tell you to “See: recursion.” Oh, and the first recursive inscription on mainnet? Naturally, it’s a Rickroll. Bitcoin’s never gonna give you up! 🎵 https://ordinals.com/inscription/12992

NAME:PROOF-OF-GENIUS

DESCRIPTION:The Spellbound collection from @TheWizardsOfOrd pushes the boundaries of what’s possible within the Ordinals ecosystem. It utilizes recursion, delegation, metadata, provenance, postage, location and compression. https://magiceden.io/ordinals/marketplace/spellbound

NAME:OP_CAT

DESCRIPTION:@TaprootWizards finally delivered and it’s a thread from Rijndael…. OP_CODE printer go brrr 🖨️💵 h/t @hellmoneypod , @rot13maxi https://x.com/rot13maxi/status/1909252898170564621

NAME:BITVM

DESCRIPTION:BitVM unlocks Turing-complete computation on Bitcoin, leveraging off-chain work and fraud proofs - no protocol changes, just clever use of existing Bitcoin primitives and Taproot. Whilst new opcodes aren’t required, they would dramatically improve efficiency, reduce complexity, and expand what's feasible on-chain. BitVM2 builds on this, enabling permissionless fraud proofs and improving practical viability. https://bitvm.org/bitvm.pdf Happy OPNEXT to those who celebrate.

NAME:MAKE BITCOIN GREAT AGAIN

NAME:SOPHON

DESCRIPTION:In October 2023, @rot13maxi launched Sophon, a bot that exploited a 'flaw' in the BRC-20 token standard: anyone could front-run token deployments by hijacking tickers with higher fees. Sophon scanned the mempool, deployed tokens first, and blocked ‘originals’, crashing BRC-20 activity by 72%. When it ran out of funds, activity surged 540%. Trying to predict the movement of three planets? Hard. Trying to predict what BRC-20 degens will ape into next? Impossible.

NAME:TRIGGER HAPPY

DESCRIPTION:Veterans still recall the mempool’s no-man’s-land, bids trudging through smoke while fee-snipers picked them off one by one. New guard-rails (Full Mempool Protection, one-shot, sealed bids) have cleared the fog somewhat.

NAME:ROCK

DESCRIPTION:An early figure in Ordinals, @rocktoshi21 helped shape the space by founding Bitcoin Rocks and Nodemonkes. He is a visionary and a builder, he challenged norms and sparked debates that shook up the ordinals ecosystem. Some see him as controversial, others as a pioneer.. One thing is certain: his impact is undeniable.

NAME:SPAM

DESCRIPTION:Luke's favourite dish... after cats.

NAME:NIXTHEFILTERS

DESCRIPTION:Filtering JPEGs on Bitcoin is like trying to hold water with a tennis racket. It looks principled until someone points out the puddle. Ocean launched with all the moral authority of a spam-fighting crusade, proudly declaring war on inscriptions. Meanwhile, their own block templates were smuggling JPEGs without even noticing. Then came the receipts: @benthecarman : https://mempool.space/tx/32806ffe7040f2b57b4f0298f1e3a23d6a3296d25c75afdee5281729f15e8319 @Rob1Ham : https://mempool.space/tx/38086f6079c9eeb1e1a637600645e99982281f5f8ee23dd9680d879b9e7da204 https://x.com/benthecarman/status/1819156196131045496 These weren’t accidents. These were intentional filter bypasses. One of them confirmed in 2 minutes. No tricks. Just miners doing what Bitcoin miners do. Including valid transactions. In February 2024, Marathon released Slipstream. It didn’t just help push complex transactions. It proved filtering doesn’t work. You can’t stop inscriptions. You can only stop yourself from mining them. So what did we learn? Attempts to filter JPEGs, art, privacy, or any other flavor of ‘unwanted’ transaction on Bitcoin are: Economically irrational, technically trivial to route around and guaranteed to fail. http://fixthefilters.com

NAME:theSHROOMSrCOMING

DESCRIPTION:Inscription #19 marks the dawn of BitcoinShrooms, the first letter in a psychedelic prophecy: 'theSHROOMSrCOMING'.

NAME:PUNKS

DESCRIPTION:Ordinal Punks weren’t just early. They were among the first 650 inscriptions ever made, securing their place as pioneers of the Ordinals movement. Created by @FlowStayy , a key figure in the early Ordinals scene, the collection draws from the iconic CryptoPunks, bringing pixel art to Bitcoin, fully on-chain and immutable. No IPFS, no shortcuts. Each punk is inscribed directly onto Bitcoin, making them permanent digital artifacts. In a sea of imitators, Ordinal Punks stand as the original punks of the Bitcoin timechain, blending cultural legacy with protocol-level permanence.

NAME:ROCKS

DESCRIPTION:Bitcoin Rocks are some of the earliest and most iconic artifacts in the Ordinals era. Inspired by EtherRocks, but forged on Bitcoin, they were inscribed in the low 1000s, making them part of the protocol’s earliest digital history. 6 Rocks were gifted to contributors of Ordinals as a thank you for their tireless work. Each Rock is a simple image, but the significance runs deep. Created when tooling was primitive and inscription was still experimental, Bitcoin Rocks represent the raw, early energy of the Ordinals movement.

NAME:PEPES

DESCRIPTION:Inscribed Pepes are more than just a nod to internet culture. They’re a piece of digital history, inscribed on February 4th, 2023, between inscription numbers #2115 and #2189. They represent one of the most iconic memes of all time, these Pepes preserve the spirit of a meme that has evolved across generations of online culture. They also embody cultural continuity. By carrying the Rare Pepe legacy of the Counterparty era into today’s Ordinals renaissance, Inscribed Pepes fuse past meme movements with a new era of on-chain permanence. Pep pop 🐸 https://ordinals.com/inscription/2540

NAME:CYPHERPUNK GHOSTS

DESCRIPTION:Cypherpunk Ghosts are more than just digital artefacts. They are the embodiment of the cypherpunk ethos, etched into Bitcoin’s immutable ledger. Born from the ideals of privacy, freedom, and decentralisation, each Ghost stands as a spectral sentinel in the ongoing fight for personal privacy in the digital age, a vision first outlined in the original Cypherpunk Manifesto. Still unminted and unsold, these ghosts linger on the chain, waiting to be claimed by those who understand their significance. These inscribed Ghosts carry the weight of a movement that champions anonymity, cryptography, and the defence of individual liberty in an increasingly surveilled world. Just as cryptography empowers privacy, these digital spectres endure as permanent testaments to a future where privacy is not a privilege, but a right.

NAME:OCM

DESCRIPTION:OnChainMonkey has been a foundational force in the Ordinals ecosystem. They inscribed the first 10,000-piece generative collection, demonstrating what is possible with efficient, coordinated on-chain art. As early innovators, they pioneered with concepts like recursive inscriptions and parent-child provenance, and contributed open-source libraries that helped standardise inscription techniques and enable more complex logic. Beyond Genesis, they expanded with collections like Karma, Desserts, and Dimensions, each pushing the boundaries of art, provenance, and utility on Bitcoin. More than a project, OCM brought real community structure and long-term commitment, setting a tone of seriousness and sustainability in a space often driven by hype. Simply put, OCM didn’t just join Ordinals, they helped build it.

NAME:DEARGOD

DESCRIPTION:On February 8, 2023, DeGods made a notable entrance into the Ordinals space, inscribing their entire collection in a single block, a technically impressive feat that showed what coordinated effort on Bitcoin can achieve. They brought cross-chain attention and helped ignite interest beyond Bitcoin-native circles. But after making waves, they quietly stepped back. Big splash. Quick exit. https://mempool.space/block/000000000000000000002067327ceda00d90cb546e3b5efbdf2b5fe484442813

NAME:FOLD

DESCRIPTION:Yuga Labs’ TwelveFold Ordinals kicked off in early March 2023 as its very first Bitcoin Ordinals drop. 300 generative‑art pieces inscribed via a 12×12 grid, billed as “a visual allegory for the cartography of data on the Bitcoin blockchain.” TwelveFold was sold via an auction where bids cleared between 2.2501 BTC and 7.1159 BTC It sold 288 of those in under 24 hours, hauling in ~ $16.5 million. They raised the stakes twelvefold… then folded before the flop

NAME:NODES

DESCRIPTION:128KB CACHE MEMORY 40MHz CPU Clock GATHERING RESOURCES ▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌ EATING BANANA ▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌ BECOMING MONKE ▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌▌ NodeMonkes is the first (!) original 10k PFP collection on Bitcoin. Inscribed in February 2023, they represented ~10% of all inscriptions. Launched in December 2023, it features 28x28 pixel art and has become a cultural pillar in the Ordinals scene. The project has heavily influenced the Bitcoin landscape, even surpassing some major Ethereum collections in significance and volume. In March 2024, a rare “Alien Hoodie” (#2769) sold for 17 BTC, marking one of the highest individual Ordinals sales to date. NodeMonkes currently holds the title for the largest all-time volume on Ordinals, cementing their legendary status. The culture. The art. The chain. SEND NODES. 🟧🐒💥

NAME:HONEY BADGERS

DESCRIPTION:Honey Badgers don’t ask for permission, they just inscribe. Released in waves, the collection of 10,000 pixelated beasts stormed the Ordinals scene with grit, wit, and a smirk. Launched in early 2023 by creator @akva556 , the Honey Badgers blend meme culture, early internet energy, and Bitcoin-native ethos into a sharp-toothed on-chain statement. Arguably one of the first 10K Ordinals collections, it set the stage for the flood of innovation that followed. The Honey Badger meme goes beyond humour. It’s the embodiment of pure defiance. A creature that doesn’t care who you are, what you’ve done, or what dangers lie ahead. It’s a fitting symbol for Bitcoin, a system that doesn’t discriminate. Bitcoin doesn’t care if you’re a millionaire or a murderer. It’s free for all, no questions asked. Just like the Honey Badger, Bitcoin keeps going, unaffected by external judgement or authority.

NAME:QUANTUM CATS

DESCRIPTION:Quantum Cats, a 3,333-piece Ordinals drop from Taproot Wizards, is Schrödinger’s cat on Bitcoin, simultaneously meme and manifesto. Minted in January 2024, it channels attention (and mint proceeds) toward reviving the OP_CAT opcode, hoping to unlock more flexible Layer-2 bridges and smart-contract magic on bitcoin.

NAME:PUPPETS

DESCRIPTION:Puppets aren’t a product. They’re not a brand. They’re not a movement. They’re barely coherent. Powered by ketamine, caffeine, and some flavour of autism they haven’t named yet. There is no roadmap. No mission. No team. No funding. No whitepaper. Useless on purpose. You want utility? Go buy a blender. The license? Copyleft, VPL, all rights reversed, nothing sacred. Steal it. Remix it. Burn it. Worship it. Doesn’t matter. World Peace 🌍☮️ S/O @lepuppeteerfou

NAME:RUNESTONE

DESCRIPTION:In a bold act of on-chain collectivism, comrade Leonidas seized the means of inscription and redistributed over 112,000 Runestones to the Ordinals-working class, no pre-mine, no elite allocation, not even a whitepaper to exploit the people. Truly, a decentralised uprising. Eligibility was simple: hold three inscriptions before block 826,600 and believe in the protocol. The art? A digital stone, donated by sculptor Léo Caillard under a Creative Commons License. And as if that weren't generous enough, comrades were rewarded with DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON aka. $DOG , the people’s memecoin.

NAME:BOO

DESCRIPTION:Bitcoin Boos is a 101-piece pixel-ghost Ordinals collection (#3314 to #14274) from early 2023 whose creators, King Bootoshi and King Blootoshi, are turning each inscription into a “living” character through AI. Every Boo is paired with an LLM-powered “soul” that remembers chat history and can hold free-form conversations with its holder in Discord; the same “Soul Engine” has been demoed publicly, showing Boos generating dialogue and short storylines on the fly. The project’s broader Boo Kingdom roadmap layers these agents into a self-evolving RPG world, with prototypes ranging from a text-adventure MUD to the public Ordinals Chadbot, all backed by open-source memory and agent frameworks on Bootoshi’s GitHub. A 1820-piece expansion called the Boottalion supplies additional AI-driven warriors for upcoming gameplay.

NAME:OMB

DESCRIPTION:Ordinal Maxi Biz (OMB) is a hand-drawn series launched in early 2023 by the pseudonymous zkShark with artist Tony Tafuro. Each wave is inscribed on historically significant, scarce satoshis and sign-posted by eye colour – red, blue, green, orange and black, turning the collection itself into a lesson in sat rarity. With a “no rules, no VC’s” credo and stunts such as holders burning CryptoPunks for whitelist spots, OMB grew from an art drop into a quasi-anarchic movement that funds open-source Bitcoin projects (OMBounties) and now trades as a top-10 Ordinals collection, even landing its own Christie’s auction.

NAME:RSIC

DESCRIPTION:In January 2024 the RSIC team airdropped 21,000 “pre-rune” inscriptions, each a ticket to mint the future RSIC.GENESIS.RUNE token, into roughly 9,000 early-Ordinals wallets (keeping 10 % for the team). Anticipation and speculation around these pieces ignited secondary trading; the top sale was a rare-symbol RSIC that fetched 3.25 BTC (≈ $140 k) in February 2024.

NAME:TAPROOT WIZARDS

DESCRIPTION:Taproot Wizards resurrects the iconic 2013 “magic‑internet‑money” meme as a 2,121‑piece Ordinals collection inscribed back in February 2023, then finally sold on 25 March 2025 in two phases. Led by Udi Wertheimer and Eric Wall, the project wraps playful antics such as “proof‑of‑hygiene” stunts around a serious agenda: reviving the dormant OP_CAT opcode to unlock more expressive smart‑contract tooling on Bitcoin. Now that the mint has completed, each Wizard lives on‑chain and serves as a rallying banner for technical experimentation and culture‑jamming in the Ordinals era.

NAME:BITMAP

DESCRIPTION:Bitmap lets you “own” a full block of the chain by scribbling “block-height.bitmap” on a lone satoshi, forever notarising your claim to a pixel of virtual dirt. The anonymous devs pitch it as metaverse-ready land, meaning any game or world that parses the spec can treat your tiny slice of Bitcoin history as a buildable plot. Because what Bitcoin really needed was a real-estate bubble, right?

NAME:RIBBIT

DESCRIPTION:Bitcoin Frogs launched in May 2023 as one of the earliest 10k PFP collections fully inscribed on Bitcoin. They popularised ordinals, proved large-scale inscriptions could live on-chain, and even supported Lightning payments at launch. By topping trading charts and leaning into meme culture, they made Bitcoin Ordinals fun, accessible, and culturally relevant. “One fine day I woke up and wanted to put 10,000 frogs on the Bitcoin blockchain at all costs.” — Frogtoshi Nakamoto

NAME:FOMOJIS

DESCRIPTION:A fusion of culture, meme, and market psychology, Fomojis emerged as one of the most talked-about collections within the Ordinals ecosystem. The collection blends emoticons with the fear-of-missing-out (FOMO) ethos, turning every inscription into a statement of desire, urgency, and exclusivity. The Genesis Fomojis are inscribed between #18,951 and #24,112, marking their origin on the timechain, each one a relic of Bitcoin’s early Ordinals era. Fomojis also launched @generatord_ , a one-stop recursive inscription tool. Even @realDonaldTrump used it for his drop, proof that recursion isn’t just for nerds, it’s presidential now.

NAME:BANDITS

DESCRIPTION:Bitcoin Bandits is an early-2023 Ordinals project that inscribed exactly 512 pixel-art outlaws, spanning inscription numbers #58,735 - 60,326. The lean supply, early inscription, plus a tongue-in-cheek Wild-West aesthetic, earned it a slot among the OG’s. “Once the dust settles, the Bandits emerge”.

NAME:MACHINES

DESCRIPTION:BTC Machines have been a trailblazer in the Ordinals ecosystem, introducing several pioneering initiatives that have significantly influenced the space. The collection consists of 777 digital artifacts, inscribed between #38,347 and #81,532, and launched in February 2023. They were the first to inscribe a GIF onto a rare satoshi, blending advanced media with scarcity. The team conducted multiple airdrops, including assets from their cross-chain SATORIANS collection on Solana, which ties into their upcoming MMORPG. They launched staking for $ZBIT tokens. BTC Machines stands among the OG pioneers that helped shape the early landscape of Bitcoin-native assets.

NAME:INK

DESCRIPTION:INK Ordinals were built by lead engineer and co‑founder zetman.btc alongside veteran illustrator Joey Dodd, community‑builder Brunno, and liaison Steven, all uniting to showcase hand‑drawn art on Bitcoin. It rolled out two complementary drops; INK Genesis (10 000 procedurally generated PFPs) and INK Custom (150 one‑of‑a‑kind pieces) - all inscribed on Rodarmor’s pre‑Ordinal “Legacy Sats” as a proof‑of‑concept for on‑chain illustration.

NAME:NINJAS

DESCRIPTION:Pizza Ninjas is a 1,500-piece PFP drop inscribed on “exotic” pizza sats that arrived in January 2024, comfortably after inscription #50 million, proving you can show up fashionably late and still hold the spotlight. Each Ninja is a fully on-chain HTML/SVG contraption that scales to 20 000 px, reshuffles traits every block, and even boots an SNES emulator, so calling it a “JPEG” is like calling a Swiss Army knife a toothpick.

NAME:WOO

DESCRIPTION:We’ve covered the Wizards Of Ord several times in this collection,which is itself a testament to how much gravity the project has in the Ordinals scene. A 3,333-supply PFP set, all inscribed in June 2023 between inscription #11,301,998 and #11,339,544. The Wizards have become a de-facto mascot for the technical side of Ordinals. In short: they cast a longer shadow than their 32×32 frames suggest. wizards.art

NAME:HASHLINGS

DESCRIPTION:Hashlings are a ~5,000-piece collection of unique art inscribed on Bitcoin. Part art, part hash. Fully on-chain and backed by real Bitcoin mining hardware. As early contributors to the Ordinals space, they helped prove that ordinals could merge art, culture, and infrastructure. Holders get access to the Hash Dash, an Ordinal-gated dashboard that serves as a mining control center. It shows live mining stats, total Bitcoin mined, BTC and Rune price tickers (but fair warning, the rune prices might make you want to look away).

NAME:DAN FILES

DESCRIPTION:Dan Anderson describes The Dan Files as “an index of early Ordinal collections I created for fortune and glory.” Spanning inscriptions #626 to #950, the collection is characterised by its experimental and often irreverent tone, blending humor, philosophy, and personal reflection. Each sub-collection explores different themes and formats. Some standout pieces within The Dan Files include: Inscription 661: "I Existed" – An audio recording where Dan reflects on his life and the significance of his work, intended for future audiences, possibly even extra-terrestrial or artificial intelligences. Inscription 952/953 – A directory that catalogs all of Dan's Ordinal collections, serving as a meta-reference within the project. The Dan Files captures a moment of cultural and technological convergence. As one of the earliest curated collections using the Ordinals protocol, it stands at the intersection of blockchain permanence, creative self-expression, and digital heritage. Dan Anderson’s work exemplifies how inscriptions on Bitcoin can go beyond simple NFTs, functioning as immutable memoirs, satire, philosophical statements, and cultural artifacts. Fortune remains to be seen, but glory is assured. http://ordinals.com/inscription/677e9b18641f86b22bea3d324c0c50dd498507514f887818a21f2ff7d81b1e9fi0

NAME:BLOB

DESCRIPTION:Blob began as a 10 000-piece 3-D generative airdrop, fully inscribed and given away for free. The project doubles as a tech demo that shows off every Ordinals trick: parent–child inscriptions, recursive calls, React-Three-Fiber renders and even custom shader libraries the team put on-chain themselves. When ViaBTC mined the fourth-halving epic sat (the very first satoshi in block 840 000) on 20 Apr 2024, it went to auction five days later and sold for 33.3 BTC (about $2.1 million). Book of Blob snapped it up and immediately turned that one-in-2.1-quadrillion unit into inscription #70 634 325, christening it Spike #1. The piece is a neuro-generative 3-D audiovisual work that even features an AI cameo by Grimes, and it is the first Ordinal ever etched onto an epic sat. Building on Spike #1, the team minted EPIC•EPIC•EPIC•EPIC, rune #66 429, the first Runes token struck on an epic sat. The move gives Blob lasting bragging rights in both the Ordinals and Runes ecosystems.

NAME:AILU

DESCRIPTION:2,100 fully rigged, 3D cybernetic pandas, inscribed on Bitcoin, born not from trend but from obsession. AILU is the brainchild of a decade-long journey, beginning with a sketch in 2012 and evolving into characters, music, lore, culture. All handcrafted by a single mind. No VC, no DAO, no hype cycle. With 33,000+ memes, and a native AI layer on the way via ConstroAI, the AILU project isn’t a brand, it is a protocol for expression. For those building in silence, moving with purpose, and living without permission. And while it's hard to explain every facet, what’s been built here is nothing less than a pioneering template. A glimpse of how future legacy brands may be born on Bitcoin.

NAME:BITCOIN WIZARDS

DESCRIPTION:On 18 February 2013, Reddit moderator theymos asked /r/bitcoin for ad ideas. Within an hour, @mavensbot answered with an MS Paint sketch of a pixelated wizard conjuring coins from the ether. No branding. No budget. Just one spellbound jpeg. The Magic Internet Money Wizard became more than a meme. He stood watch as blocks were mined, protocols were debated, and history was written. A mascot not just for Bitcoin, but for the irreverent spirit that powers it.

NAME:JALLY

DESCRIPTION:Elusive, well-endowed and shrouded in mystique. Rumour has it, it’s six inches, but some like it that wide. Signet schlong: https://signet.ordinals.com/inscription/9750aaedc0e774aa646d29aa6ad348a2ab347d0449910404f26382b3a040b11fi0 Mainnet member: https://ordinals.com/inscription/e9b1379e9a30e4e2f08fa0c38394f49aa0b92449423f966c6108be93533c17b6i0

NAME:PROOF-OF-HYGIENE

DESCRIPTION:Before the @TaprootWizards shower campaign, Bitcoin conferences were the only places where the term 'proof of work' also applied to personal hygiene! S/O @udiWertheimer 🧙‍♂️

NAME:ORDINALS ARE DEAD

DESCRIPTION:Again……

NAME:RAISED IN THESE SHEETS

DESCRIPTION:The wild west of Bitcoin Ordinals. Back when fortunes were made and lost on spreadsheet cells, trust was a leap of faith, and every trade felt like a high-stakes poker game. Nothing screams nostalgia like swapping six-figures in Google Docs.

NAME:MAN IM SO BULLISH

DESCRIPTION:Whispered first by the pioneers, now chanted by every newcomer as a rite of passage: “Man I'm so bullish on Ordinals, nothing else really enters my thought process atm.” the secret handshake of on‑chain visionaries. Say it with us.

NAME:FAKES

DESCRIPTION:Tethered directly to Bitcoin Shroom #800 via parent–child provenance, Inscribed Fakes arrives as a bold homage to the legendary Pepe meme. ‘’The Official First Fakes’’ mark the inaugural series: a rogue’s gallery of 1/1s, each a personal reinterpretation of Pepe, refracted through the lens of the inscription era. Featuring contributions from cultural agents such as Jack Butcher, Darkfarms, Rarescrilla, Viva La Vandal, and many others, Inscribed Fakes transforms meme into medium and medium into message. Authentically fake. Falsely official. All immutably real.

NAME:BRAVO

DESCRIPTION:“BRAVO” Bitcoin Bravocados is a parent-child collection linked directly to Bitcoin Shroom #679, a historic inscription made notable by its inclusion in Sotheby’s first-ever Ordinals auction in December 2023. It’s said that ZKshark acquired the Shroom and inscribed the Bravocados beneath it. The Bravocados playfully reference BIP39, blending pixel art with protocol satire. These pieces are not just visual puns, they’re subtle winks to those who understand that Bitcoin culture has always danced between the technical and the absurd. Not just a side dish, a memetic main course!

NAME:PIXEL PACKETS

DESCRIPTION:A 1/333 ownership of Bitcoin Shroom #139. It is a symbolic scattering of the very first pixels from Ordinals' history, stitched directly into each Packet. Born from Bitcoin Shrooms, the genesis collection that began with inscription #19, Pixel Packets carries forward a lineage. Every Shroom tells a story. Every Packet keeps it alive. It is not just about fractionalisation. It is about democratisation, forging a DAO around shared belief, shared culture, and the long game of Bitcoin’s future. No promises, only a simple truth: one Packet, one voice, one vote.

NAME:BIP LAND

DESCRIPTION:BIP Land is no mere pixel art! It is a living map of Bitcoin’s evolution, planted firmly beneath the Quantum Threat Shroom (#791). A collaboration between @M1LZ7 and @Dr_DAO_ , BIP Land charts the tangled and often political story of Bitcoin’s soft forks through playful, provocative pixels. Born beneath the looming spectre of quantum computing, BIP Land stands as both homage and warning. As Bitcoin’s cryptography braces for the inevitable ascent of quantum attacks, these inscriptions are left to remind future Bitcoiners, survival demands adaptation. Inspired by the whimsical spirit of Bitcoin Shrooms and grounded in the deep technical roots of Quantum Cats, BIP Land is more than a snapshot. It is a compendium, an educational beacon woven into the blockchain, left not for profit, but for posterity.

NAME:FUD

DESCRIPTION:Fear, uncertainty, doubt, reimagined in pixel perfection. FUD is a precision-engineered collection of 884 1/1 inscriptions, each a child of Inscription #884, inscribed immutably on 884 legacy sats. Every piece a message. Every sat a monument. 884 legacy sats were carefully dissected into 884 UTXOs, each frontloaded with a legacy sat and trailed by 883 common sats. Each output holds exactly 884 sats, because every detail matters. Especially in a world built on doubt. Each inscription cost exactly 884 sats: a number chosen, not calculated. 884 inscriptions, at 884 sats each, from 884 legacy sats. FUD isn’t just a statement. It’s a flex of intent, precision, and defiance. Let them doubt. Let them fear. Let them FUD.

NAME:DUAL FUNDED

DESCRIPTION:Ordinal Rabbits and Bitcoin Machines join paws and gears in a historic collaboration. The first ever dual-fractionalised Bitcoin Shroom. Together, they’ve carved up Shroom #786 into 260 shares, opening a door once sealed to the few. It’s more than co-ownership.It’s a cross-collection pact and a statement that the legacy of the first Ordinals collection belongs not to the elite, but to anyone with the conviction to claim a piece. One pixel at a time, Bitcoin becomes communal. One shroom at a time, history becomes shared.
