This was enabled thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-taproot\">Taproot<\/a> soft fork. The project uses satoshi numbering (serialisation) to record data in the <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-segregated-witness\">&#8216;witness&#8217; portion<\/a> of the bitcoin transaction.<\/p>\n<p>The artefacts quickly gained popularity and contributed to the growth of miners&#8217; revenues from transaction fees. By the end of May, the number of NFTs released thanks to Ordinals had surpassed 10 million.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in June, the protocol developers unveiled an update that would unlock more than 71 000 <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/ordinals-update-unlocks-cursed-inscriptions-nfts-on-the-protocol\">&#8216;cursed inscriptions&#8217;<\/a> not tied to a specific satoshi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The f2pool mining pool launched auctions for notable satoshis in mined Bitcoin blocks for NFT creators on the Ordinals protocol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":79825,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"1","news_style_id":"1","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[526,232,1176],"class_list":["post-79824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-auction","tag-f2pool","tag-ordinals"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"11","promo_type":"1","layout_type":"1","short_excerpt":"","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79824"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79824\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79826,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79824\/revisions\/79826"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79825"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
