BRC-20 Tokens: Ordinals Inscriptions and Fungible Token Transfers
Summary
The document explains BRC-20 as a Bitcoin-based token format that uses the Ordinals protocol. Rather than relying on smart contracts, it records JSON inscriptions to deploy, mint, and transfer fungible tokens; users need compatible Bitcoin wallets to interact with them. The article also notes the standard’s association with meme tokens and presents ORDI as an early example, including its stated issuance limits.
The remaining material describes a centralized exchange listing and a launchpad sale, including an event schedule and enrollment steps. Those details are historical promotion rather than a trading method. The article reports token counts and market capitalization from its publication context but supplies no independent verification, liquidity analysis, security review, or assessment of the risks of inscription-based assets. It is useful as a brief conceptual introduction to BRC-20 mechanics, while its exchange and sale information should not be read as evidence of investment value.
Key ideas
- BRC-20 uses the Ordinals protocol to create fungible tokens on Bitcoin.

- Users need compatible Bitcoin wallets to mint or trade BRC-20 assets.
- The article describes ORDI as an early token and provides stated issuance parameters.
- Its exchange listing and launchpad details are promotional and do not assess trading risks or token value.
