An инди-игр under the pseudonym Ratoshi представил online music generator in the form of a Bitcoin-NFT on the protocol Ordinals.
Any user can create a track by entering a word or phrase. For generating melodies, the developer used an AI chatbot ChatGPT from OpenAI, he noted in a comment for Decrypt.
Музыкальный движок became a complement to the text-based RPG Descent Into Darkness by Ratoshi, hence the tracks have the 8-bit console sound.
For the implementation of the solution, the developer used recursive inscriptions.
Originally, tokens and NFTs issued via Ordinals were entirely autonomous. In June, the protocol team unveiled recursive inscriptions that can reference each other. This allowed bypassing the Bitcoin block-space limit of 4 MB for digital artifacts.
«Thanks to recursive inscriptions, I only need to insert the code once. Each subsequent entry is an HTML file of a much smaller size, which can reuse pre-written JavaScript for other projects», explained Ratoshi.
According to the dashboard on Dune Analytics, since the Ordinals protocol’s emergence in January, users have minted about 14.7 million digital artifacts. The most popular type for Bitcoin-NFTs are texts—almost 86% of the total. Next in prevalence are images in various formats. Music files have a nominal presence in the space.
Earlier, the Luminex platform team unveiled the BRC-69 standard, which simplifies and reduces the cost of issuing NFT collections of recursive inscriptions.
