Take Full Advantage of the "Bitcoin NFTs"

We're excited to announce the latest feature on our platform - the ability to track transactions of Bitcoin Inscriptions!
Bitcoin Inscriptions are a unique and innovative way to embed messages or images within Bitcoin transactions, which are then stored forever on the blockchain. Our platform now allows you to easily track and monitor transactions containing Bitcoin Inscriptions.

Difference between Bitcoin Inscriptions and Ethereum NFTs

It's worth noting that Bitcoin Inscriptions are different from plain Ethereum NFTs. While Ethereum NFTs are typically used to represent unique digital assets, such as artwork or collectibles, Bitcoin Inscriptions are messages or images embedded within Bitcoin transactions. This means that Bitcoin Inscriptions are not transferable in the same way as NFTs and cannot be bought or sold like traditional assets. However, they offer a unique way for businesses and individuals to brand their Bitcoin transactions and make them more memorable.

New Boto Blocks

We have launched three Boto Blocks to facilitate this new feature.

The first one, named "Monitor Inscriptions in Ordinal Wallet", monitors all the Inscriptions held by a wallet and informs you when the assets held change. You can find the exact docs here.

The second one, named "Track Bitcoin Inscriptions Transfer", tracks the transfer of Inscriptions between wallets. It contains an output letting you know if the owner has changed.

The third one, named "Bitcoin Ordinals - Inscription Info", fetches info and meta info about a Bitcoin Inscription as appearing on ordinals.com.

With these blocks, you can easily explore and monitor the world of Bitcoin Inscriptions, seeing their transfer history and the wallet addresses involved.

Our community has also created a few recipes to kickstart your imagination for using these new blocks.

Benefits of tracking Bitcoin Inscriptions

These blocks open up a world of possibilities for businesses and individuals. Imagine embedding your company logo, a special message, or even a piece of artwork within a Bitcoin transaction - every time that transaction is made, your inscription will be visible on the blockchain for all to see. You can easily search for specific inscriptions or browse through a list of the most popular ones. Plus, you can also view the transaction history of each inscription, as well as the wallet addresses involved in the transaction.

The folks at galaxy.com published a long and detailed whitepaper analysing the potential of this technology and the future looks bright. Read it here.
