What is Ordinal Theory?
What is Ordinal Theory?
●
This is not a new idea. First proposed in 2012 by Johnson Lau
●
Although bitcoin is designed as fungible, it is possible to assign an unique serial
number to each atomic unit (aka satoshi).
●
With this serial number, a satoshi may represent more than its face value (e.g.
colored bitcoin, smart property, securities)
●
Ordinals overview
●
Ordinal theory does not require a sidechain or token aside from Bitcoin, and can be
used without any changes to the Bitcoin network. It works right now.
●
Ordinal theory imbues satoshis with numismatic value, allowing them to be collected
and traded as curios.
●
Individual satoshis can be inscribed with arbitrary content, creating unique Bitcoin-
native digital artifacts that can be held in Bitcoin wallets and transferred using Bitcoin
transactions. Inscriptions are as durable, immutable, secure, and decentralized as
Bitcoin itself.
Numismatic curios

Ordinals theory gives us the following rarity
Ordinals theory gives us the following rarity
levels:
levels:
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
