Bitmap and BRC-420

Bitmap and BRC-420

This article focuses on the origins and current status of the Bitmap protocol and the BRC-420 standard. The Ordinals protocol uses a numbering method for sats (the smallest unit of Bitcoin) to create inscriptions, which are metadata written onto sats, like text or images. Bitmap is an open-source standard similar to the Ordinals protocol, allowing users to own an entire Bitcoin block and inscribe onto it. Each inscribed block forms a part of the metaverse. BRC-420, established by Recursiverse (RCSV), is a Bitcoin chain asset management protocol based on the Ordinals and Bitmap protocols. While the Ordinals protocol supports inscriptions on individual sats, BRC-420 allows multiple inscriptions to recursively combine into a complex inscription. The BRC-420 format is fully open-source, enabling anyone to create their own "metaverse inscriptions."

What are Cursed Inscriptions?
Beginner

What are Cursed Inscriptions?

Cursed inscriptions are inscriptions not indexed by the ordinals protocol, resulting from bugs and thus considered invalid. However, since the properties of cursed inscriptions are not significantly different from regular inscriptions, Casey introduced negative inscriptions to categorize cursed inscriptions while maintaining the stability of the existing inscription numbering system. Hence, cursed inscriptions are also known as negative inscriptions.
