Bitcoin Ordinals are a form of digital asset inscribed directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain. They function similarly to NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) on other blockchains but leverage Bitcoin's unique properties.

For a more detailed explanation, check out our blog post.

Stacks NFTs are digital assets built on the Stacks blockchain, which is designed to bring smart contracts and decentralized apps to Bitcoin. These NFTs benefit from Bitcoin's security while offering additional functionality.

While both are associated with Bitcoin, Ordinals are inscribed directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, whereas Stacks NFTs exist on the separate but Bitcoin-anchored Stacks blockchain. Each has its own advantages in terms of functionality, cost, and use cases.

You can read more about both on our blog.

Sats (short for Satoshis) are the smallest unit of Bitcoin, similar to cents in a dollar. Some sats have unique properties that make them "special," potentially increasing their value or significance. Learn more about special sats in our blog post and check our  guide on inscribing special sats.

Recursive inscriptions allow new independent inscriptions to reference other existing existing inscriptions onchain, creating new, optimized pieces that save on fees. This technology is used for Editions collections and Prints on Gamma.
