What Are Inscriptions?
Inscriptions are digital artifacts that can contain various forms of information, including text, images, and smart contracts. These are stored in the smallest unit of Bitcoin — the satoshi (SATS). The Ordinals project's influence has expanded to other blockchains, leading to their own inscription standards:
- Ethscription (Ethereum)
- SPL-20 (Solana)
- ...and more
This multi-chain adoption highlights inscriptions' versatility in digital ownership and fosters cross-blockchain innovation.
