Following a growing trend of Ordinal inscriptions on the Bitcoin blockchain, the technology has been ported to the Litecoin network, and the number of onchain Litecoin inscriptions has surpassed 13,000. Software developer Anthony Guerrera made Ordinal inscriptions on the Litecoin network possible by receiving 22 Litecoin to port the technology to the proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain.

Proponents of the cryptocurrency network Litecoin (LTC) were pleased to hear that Ordinal inscriptions are now possible on the network. Software developer Anthony Guerrera accepted a challenge to port the technology to Litecoin after the offer grew from five LTC to 22 tokens.

While Litecoin’s network has a number of differences, its codebase shares similarities with Bitcoin, including additions like Segregated Witness (Segwit) and Taproot, which make Ordinal inscriptions possible on the Litecoin network.

Since the codebase was released and the first Litecoin-based Ordinal inscription was shared on Twitter by Guerrera, the number of LTC-based Ordinals has grown significantly. At the time of writing, there are approximately 13,211 Ordinals on the Litecoin blockchain. Many people are sharing their Litecoin Ordinal inscriptions on social media and promoting their newly launched LTC-based collections.
