Bitcoin Ordinals are reshaping our understanding of Bitcoin transactions. They assign unique identifiers to each individual satoshi, or SAT, the smallest unit of Bitcoin. With 100,000,000 satoshis making up one Bitcoin, Ordinals are unlocking untold potential. However, this innovation has its drawbacks.
Higher transaction costs and increased network congestion have sparked debate. Tectum is stepping up with a solution – Bitcoin Ordinal Softnotes.
The Congestion Problem: Rising Transaction Costs and Network Congestion
When we send Ordinals, they require Bitcoin fees and take up considerable space in Bitcoin blocks. As a result, the Bitcoin community is worried.
Many believe the essence of the blockchain lies in its function as a safe store of value and an efficient transaction platform. They fear Ordinals might disrupt this balance, leading to higher costs and congestion.
The Challenge of Changeable Inscriptions
The ordinal design moves away from traditional blockchain storage, and that poses an issue. Each time we send Ordinal inscriptions, we can alter them.
This mutable nature makes it hard to identify the original inscription, calling into question the immutability of the blockchain.
The Softnote Solution: Secure and Efficient Transacting
To counter these issues, Tectum is launching Bitcoin Softnote Ordinals. These are essentially Bitcoin wallets with secure private keys that we can unlock using a Softnote serial number and dynamic passcode.
By converting ordinals to softnotes, we can move transactions to the Tectum blockchain. This shift keeps the Bitcoin network free from congestion.
Instant Immutability: A Key Benefit
Ordinal Softnotes also offer the benefit of immediate immutability. Once we tie an ordinal to a SoftNote and pass it on, its inscription stays the same.
This property simplifies verifying the original identity and value of an ordinal, bolstering trust and reliability.
Minting Softnote Ordinals: Affordable and Accessible
Tectum is about to offer a way for us to convert individual ordinals with inscriptions to softnotes. This method dramatically cuts Bitcoin fees on the main network and involves a minimal amount of Tectum tokens ($TET).
Moving Existing Ordinals to Softnotes
Current ordinals can also move to a SoftNote, allowing for cost-free transactions thereafter based on a passcode. These converted ordinals will be visible on the softnote.cash website, displaying any inscribed images.
Bitcoin Ordinal Softnotes, as created by Tectum, offers an exciting solution to the hurdles faced by Bitcoin Ordinals. Lower costs, increased immutability, and smooth migration make softnotes an effective and secure way to transact within the Tectum ecosystem. As Tectum gets ready to roll out this game-changing innovation, the future of Bitcoin Ordinals is looking more promising than ever.
