Empowering Innovation in the Bitcoin Ecosystem

赋能比特币生态系统创新

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 由软件开发人员 Zach Meyer 和化名 NFT 历史学家 Leonidas 于 2023 年 3 月推出，提供了一个综合平台，用于发现、投票和评论比特币区块链上的序数铭文。该平台很快在 Ordinals 社区中获得了关注，成为收藏家和爱好者的中心枢纽。

"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."

“我对比特币上出现的创新和探索浪潮感到非常兴奋，”迈耶说。 “以前仅限于各种替代链的产品和技术正在被重新构想并建立在比特币的基础上。”

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 强调了开发人员关注点从以太坊和 Solana 等替代链重新转向比特币的趋势，强调了该平台作为更广泛的加密生态系统创新驱动力的潜力。

Unveiling the Treasures of Ordinal Inscriptions

揭开序数铭文的宝藏

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 的用户友好界面使收藏家能够根据一系列指标对搜索进行排序，包括铭文编号、“被诅咒”或“正常”状态以及称为“Satributes”的特定属性。例如，标有“披萨”的铭文包含 Laszlo Hanyecz 在 2010 年标志性的“比特币披萨”事件中用于购买两份 Papa John's 披萨的 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.

根据 Dune 的数据，自 2023 年 1 月推出 Ordinals 协议以来，比特币区块链上已创建了超过 6500 万个铭文。这种活动的激增促使 Ord.io 等新工具和平台的开发，以帮助用户驾驭不断增长的基于比特币的 NFT 生态系统。

Paving the Way for Runes Protocol Integration

为 Runes 协议集成铺平道路

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 创始人 Casey Rodarmor 公布了 Runes 协议的计划，这是一种在比特币区块链上铸造可替代代币的新解决方案。符文旨在解决序数铭文面临的挑战，特别是关于浪费的块空间。

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 协议预计将与比特币减半一起首次亮相，目前预计减半发生在 8 月 19 日星期六。与去年作为实验性解决方案出现的基于 Ordinals 的 BRC-20 标准相比，预计它将提供一种更有效的方法来在比特币上铸造可替代代币。

Ord.io's Role in the Runes Era

Ord.io 在符文时代的角色

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 联合创始人 Leonidas 表达了该平台对即将推出 Runes 协议的乐观态度，并表示“我们相信铸造 Runes 将成为未来一年比特币网络上非常受欢迎的活动。”

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.

他强调该平台专注于增强用户体验，特别是在 Runes 推出的早期阶段。 Leonidas 相信 Runes 有潜力成为比特币上占主导地位的可替代代币协议，而 Ord.io 致力于为其用户提供最好的平台。

"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."

“当一项功能感觉已经完成时，你必须回去并强迫自己尝试找到至少一种方法来使它变得更好，”列奥尼达斯说。 “如果你这样做的次数足够多，你就能创造出一些非常特别的东西。”

Building on Bitcoin, for Bitcoin

以比特币为基础，为比特币服务

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

尽管 Runes 协议的未来不确定，但 Leonidas 确认了 Ord.io 对比特币生态系统的坚定承诺。

"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."

他说：“当有人想要收集 JPEG、交易 Meme 币或进行 DeFi 时，我们希望成为他们所寻求的值得信赖的平台。” “很难确切地知道五年后的情况会是什么样子，但有一件事是肯定的：我们仍然会以比特币为基础，而且只以比特币为基础。”

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.

随着新资本的注入和即将推出的 Runes 协议，Ord.io 准备进一步扩大其服务，并巩固其作为比特币区块链上 Ordinal 铭文首选目的地的地位。
