A message from the founders:
Three years ago, something special happened on Bitcoin. The Ordinals protocol made it possible to create and trade digital assets with the permanence of storing data truly on-chain.
About 1 month after Ordinals went live, we launched OrdinalsBot as the first-ever inscription service on Bitcoin. We have been here since the start.
In these 3 years, we have achieved many great things and met amazing, like-minded people looking to bring new use cases to the mother chain and create a robust fee market.
Some things of note include helping countless people inscribe art and data on Bitcoin for the first time. The first BRC-20 token, ORDI, launched on our platform. We flawlessly deployed the Runestones airdrop, the largest (at the time) airdrop on Bitcoin to 112k addresses. We tokenized the Project Spartacus movement for Julian Assange, music for Ghostface Killah, art metadata for Michelangelo sculptures, and many more. We shipped rare sats tooling, a marketplace, and an ordinals launchpad. We were the main users of Mara's Slipstream service and inscribed most of the largest files on Bitcoin through them.
We are proud of what we built and would like to take this time to thank all of the people who built it with us.
That brings us to today. Unfortunately, the Ordinals market has contracted sharply over the past year. We tried everything from restructuring to pivoting, but sustaining the business is no longer viable.
We have, however, had interest in acquiring the OrdinalsBot brand, IP and assets. So, rather than let things drift, we have made the tough decision to wind down the company and put the full asset stack up for sale through an open, competitive process.
This includes the already established brand, all IP, domains, social accounts, Discord, GitHub, and 3+ years of R&D across over 90 code repositories. For any team looking to build on Bitcoin, acquiring this fully established infrastructure provides an immediate, battle-tested head start, potentially saving years of development from scratch.
We have already updated investors and have started receiving bids. If you are interested, or know someone who is, you can DM this account for the full information on how to bid.
Please be careful of anyone contacting you about this process. The only official contacts are @tobynovum and @bruffstar. If in doubt, DM them directly.
We will share more updates on this transition process as it unfolds.
Thank you again to our incredible community and users for building the future of Bitcoin with us.

OrdinalsBot is winding down.
First place you could inscribe without running a node. The shop behind Runestone and the Dog airdrop. Where Brandon minted his first ordinal.
@ordinalsbot is taking bids to keep the brand alive.
GM, Ordinals fam! 🟧
It all began with Inscription #0....

How do you prove a $45m artwork is real? You inscribe its entire provenance on Bitcoin.
Introducing the ArtCube Protocol by @bitbaselart and @trio_xyz
Maker lineage. Foundry history. Legal title. IP rights. All immutable. All on-chain.
Starting with "Battle of the Centaurs", a 72kg, pure silver casting of Michelangelo's sculpture from 1492.
This is the first of many RWA artworks coming to Bitcoin.
More info soon.

🚨 ATTENTION: @MagicEden is sunsetting their Ordinals marketplace on March 9th ⏰ (4 days)
Make sure you import your listings to Trio before then!
Trio is dedicated to becoming the best marketplace to trade ordinals. We have already done some pretty historical things on Bitcoin. We are just getting started.
Let's make ordinals fun again.

We seriously went through the wringer last year with @trio_xyz - From really bad bugs plaguing the experience, to the monopoly Magic Eden had, it was really tough to compete.
I am excited to see ordinals taking off again and Lifo, Nodes and Wizards doing marketplaces, the more options and buzz the better I say!
Trio is far from over, the truth is, we had to go into survival mode at the end of last year and it has been the toughest period of my career.
What am I going to do, cry about it? no, fuck that. I have been in beast mode behind the scenes for months and will be posting some banger updates soon.
It's easy to forget all that @ordinalsbot and @trio_xyz have done for the space, I am still very proud of what we accomplished so far, but honestly, you have not seen anything yet.

Would be really cool to see you inscribe on Bitcoin.
Art on Bitcoin is immutable, and most importantly stored on the most secure blockchain in the world.
If you need help, @lifofifo and @ordinalsbot are some of the best in the game.
