Blockchain
Blockchain is the underlying technology for almost all cryptocurrencies. It is a distributed ledger jointly maintained by decentralized nodes around the world. Blockchain is hailed as "the trust machine", enabling trustless peer-to-peer payments. Blockchain will become the infrastructure for the next generation of the Internet - Web 3.
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."
