Empowering Innovation in the Bitcoin Ecosystem

賦能比特幣生態系統創新

Launched in March 2023 by software developer Zach Meyer and pseudonymous NFT historian Leonidas, Ord.io provides a comprehensive platform for discovering, upvoting, and commenting on Ordinal inscriptions on the Bitcoin blockchain. The platform has quickly gained traction within the Ordinals community, becoming a central hub for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Ord.io 由軟體開發人員 Zach Meyer 和化名 NFT 歷史學家 Leonidas 於 2023 年 3 月推出，提供了一個綜合平台，用於發現、投票和評論比特幣區塊鏈上的序數銘文。該平台很快就在 Ordinals 社區中獲得了關注，成為收藏家和愛好者的中心樞紐。

"I'm incredibly excited about the wave of innovation and exploration emerging on Bitcoin," said Meyer. "Products and technologies that were previously constrained to various alt-chains are being reimagined and built on Bitcoin."

「我對比特幣上出現的創新和探索浪潮感到非常興奮，」邁耶說。 “以前僅限於各種替代鏈的產品和技術正在被重新構想並建立在比特幣的基礎上。”

Meyer emphasized the shift in developer focus from alt-chains like Ethereum and Solana back to Bitcoin, highlighting the platform's potential as a driver of innovation within the broader crypto ecosystem.

Meyer 強調了開發人員關注點從以太坊和 Solana 等替代鏈重新轉向比特幣的趨勢，強調了該平台作為更廣泛的加密生態系統創新驅動力的潛力。

Unveiling the Treasures of Ordinal Inscriptions

揭開序數銘文的寶藏

Ord.io's user-friendly interface enables collectors to sort their searches based on a range of metrics, including the inscription number, "cursed" or "normal" status, and specific attributes known as "Satributes." For instance, inscriptions labeled "pizza" contain a Sat used to purchase two Papa John's pizzas by Laszlo Hanyecz in the iconic "Bitcoin pizza" incident of 2010.

Ord.io 的使用者友善介面使收藏家能夠根據一系列指標對搜尋進行排序，包括銘文編號、「被詛咒」或「正常」狀態以及稱為「Satributes」的特定屬性。例如，標有“披薩”的銘文包含 Laszlo Hanyecz 在 2010 年標誌性的“比特幣披薩​​”事件中用於購買兩份 Papa John’s 披薩的 Sat。

Since the launch of the Ordinals protocol in January 2023, over 65 million inscriptions have been created on the Bitcoin blockchain, according to data from Dune. This surge in activity has prompted the development of new tools and platforms, such as Ord.io, to help users navigate the growing ecosystem of Bitcoin-based NFTs.

根據 Dune 的數據，自 2023 年 1 月推出 Ordinals 協議以來，比特幣區塊鏈上已創建了超過 6,500 萬個銘文。這種活動的激增促使 Ord.io 等新工具和平台的開發，以幫助用戶駕馭不斷增長的基於比特幣的 NFT 生態系統。

Paving the Way for Runes Protocol Integration

為 Runes 協定整合鋪平道路

In September 2023, Ordinals creator Casey Rodarmor unveiled plans for the Runes protocol, a new solution for minting fungible tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain. Runes aims to address the challenges faced by Ordinals inscriptions, particularly regarding wasted block space.

2023 年 9 月，Ordinals 創始人 Casey Rodarmor 公佈了 Runes 協議的計劃，這是一種在比特幣區塊鏈上鑄造可替代代幣的新解決方案。符文旨在解決序數銘文面臨的挑戰，特別是關於浪費的塊空間。

The Runes protocol is anticipated to debut alongside the Bitcoin halving, which is currently projected to occur on Saturday, August 19th. It is expected to offer a more efficient method for minting fungible tokens on Bitcoin compared to last year's Ordinals-based BRC-20 standard, which emerged as an experimental solution.

Runes 協議預計將與比特幣減半一起首次亮相，目前預計減半發生在 8 月 19 日星期六。與去年作為實驗性解決方案出現的基於 Ordinals 的 BRC-20 標準相比，預計它將提供一種更有效的方法來在比特幣上鑄造可替代代幣。

Ord.io's Role in the Runes Era

Ord.io 在符文時代的角色

Ord.io co-founder Leonidas expressed the platform's optimism regarding the upcoming launch of the Runes protocol, stating that "we believe that minting Runes will be a very popular activity on the Bitcoin network over the coming year."

Ord.io 聯合創始人 Leonidas 表達了該平台對即將推出 Runes 協議的樂觀態度，並表示“我們相信鑄造 Runes 將成為未來一年比特幣網絡上非常受歡迎的活動。”

He emphasized the platform's focus on enhancing the user experience, particularly during the early stages of the Runes rollout. Leonidas believes that Runes has the potential to become the dominant fungible token protocol on Bitcoin, and Ord.io is committed to providing the best possible platform for its users.

他強調該平台專注於增強用戶體驗，特別是在 Runes 推出的早期階段。 Leonidas 相信 Runes 有潛力成為比特幣上占主導地位的可替代代幣協議，而 Ord.io 致力於為其用戶提供最好的平台。

"When a feature feels done, you have to go back and force yourself to try to find at least one way to make it better," said Leonidas. "If you do that enough times, you can create something very special."

「當一項功能感覺已經完成時，你必須回去並強迫自己嘗試找到至少一種方法來使它變得更好，」列奧尼達斯說。 “如果你這樣做的次數足夠多，你就能創造出一些非常特別的東西。”

Building on Bitcoin, for Bitcoin

以比特幣為基礎，為比特幣服務

Despite the uncertain future of the Runes protocol, Leonidas affirmed Ord.io's unwavering commitment to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

儘管 Runes 協議的未來不確定，但 Leonidas 確認了 Ord.io 對比特幣生態系統的堅定承諾。

"When someone comes to Bitcoin wanting to collect JPEGs, trade meme coins, or do DeFi, we want to be the trusted facing platform that they come to," he said. "It is hard to know exactly what the landscape looks like in five years, but one thing is for sure: We will still be building on Bitcoin, and only Bitcoin."

他說：“當有人想要收集 JPEG、交易 Meme 幣或進行 DeFi 時，我們希望成為他們所尋求的值得信賴的平台。” “很難確切地知道五年後的情況會是什麼樣子，但有一件事是肯定的：我們仍然會以比特幣為基礎，而且只以比特幣為基礎。”

With the injection of fresh capital and the upcoming launch of the Runes protocol, Ord.io is poised to further expand its services and solidify its position as the premier destination for Ordinal inscriptions on the Bitcoin blockchain.

隨著新資本的注入和即將推出的 Runes 協議，Ord.io 準備進一步擴大其服務，並鞏固其作為比特幣區塊鏈上 Ordinal 銘文首選目的地的地位。
