Inscriptions, a relatively new and controversial Bitcoin use, are fast-consuming block space. Apparently, this is feasible because users may choose how their data is stored on the chain.
People in the know claim that this objective may be achieved via text before implementing the OP RETURN operation. These modern “inscriptions” may take many forms, from still images to brief audio clips to simple video games.
The Launch of The Ordinals
Notably, the Ordinals first appeared to the public on January 21, 2023. Vice president of research at Riot Platforms, Pierre Rochard, claimed that less than three weeks after the launch, inscriptions occupied more than half of the space in the blocks of the biggest cryptocurrency.
The market will establish the proper fee price for those who desire to insert this arbitrary data into each block. This decision will be made regardless of whether or not these inscriptions should be regarded as an “acceptable” use of Bitcoin.
