Recursive Inscription: The Game Changer for #Bitcoin and #Ordinals

#Ordinals and #BRC20 are bringing daily innovations on bitcoin chain, and we're experiencing amazing experiments as a result. One of them is recursive inscription.

Get ready to learn all about it in this thread.

Earlier this year, the Ordinals Protocol introduced on-chain inscriptions, enabling the storage of files directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain.

However, these inscriptions were self-contained and unaware of each other. That's where recursive inscription comes into play.

However, these inscriptions were self-contained and unaware of each other. That's where recursive inscription comes into play.

Imagine an art collection with 10,000 unique JPEG files. Instead of individually inscribing each file, which can be costly.

We can now inscribe the 200 traits from the collection and then create 10,000 more inscriptions that programmatically render the images using those traits

The result remains the same the art is stored on-chain but in a much more efficient manner

This breakthrough in recursive inscription has the potential to save significant transaction fees, as demonstrated by the case of @BitcoinApes_

But let's think even bigger! @OnChainMonkey has taken recursive inscription to new heights by inscribing the p5.js and Three.js npm packages fully on-chain

By making calls to these packages from their upcoming Dimensions drop, they've created breathtaking 3D art in under 1 KB

What makes this truly exciting is that anyone can do it. With these packages inscribed on Bitcoin, they become public goods for everyone

To use in creating their own generative art at a fraction of the cost. It opens up endless possibilities for creativity and innovation.

Now, imagine a scenario where numerous individuals upload packages of code onto Bitcoin

This would create a vast repository of code packages for developers to build upon

Suddenly, it becomes possible to store complex pieces of software, like a 3D video game, fully on-chain.

The implications are mind-boggling. Bitcoin is evolving into an internal internet, where every file can request data from other files on the blockchain

This development marks a crucial moment in the history of Bitcoin, blurring the lines between code, art, and collaboration

But it doesn't stop at artwork. Recursive inscription has the potential to revolutionize other domains as well—music, code snippets, videos, and more.

We're on the verge of witnessing a new era where on-chain content is truly open-source and accessible to all.

In summary, recursive inscription on Bitcoin represents a significant leap forward in how we store and interact with digital content on the blockchain.

The upcoming Dimensions drop by @OnChainMonkey, starting on June 15, serves as a promising example of what's to come.
