Casey Rodarmor created Ordinals, a system for inscribing data onto individual satoshis on Bitcoin's blockchain earlier this year. These inscriptions gained rarity traits and became collectibles, listed for trading on secondary markets. While NFTs are more commonly associated with Ethereum or purpose-built NFT blockchains like Polygon, Bitcoin has seen a surge in sales over the last 30 days due to PFP inscriptions.
Recursive inscriptions, which call data from prior inscriptions, could be the next big thing in the Bitcoin ordinals community, but they are still relatively undeveloped and maintained by a small group of developers.
