A method of assigning serial numbers to satoshis and attaching data (inscriptions) to them.
Ordinals track individual satoshis and allow data inscriptions on-chain. This enables NFT-like artifacts directly on base-layer Bitcoin-style chains at the cost of larger blocks and potential fee spikes.
"When inscriptions surge, mempools fill and fees rise as users compete to include large data transactions."
