[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7z2gvl5srt)​[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-zj8q7via1p9)​\n\n[YOUTUBE@VID](VPvVF89KV4I)\n\n# Overview\n\nOrdi was inscribed by an anonymous user on March 8, 2023. It operates through the Ordinals protocol, enabling users to encode various forms of data— such as text, images, audio, and video — onto individual Satoshis. This inscription process is executed without the need for a separate token, side chain, or alterations to the Bitcoin protocol. The Ordinals protocol adds information to each Satoshi, resulting in the creation of [non-fungible tokens](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) (NFTs) and tokens within the [Bitcoin network](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin). However, due to the Bitcoin network's low block size limit, the primary focus for inscription is mainly on textual and visual information. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-gq5o6ptzgwe)[\\[4\\]](#cite-id-g79jlrwyo5h)\n\nIn November 2023, the ORDI token was listed on the crypto exchange Binance as an emerging project under the “seed” tag which caused the prices of the token to surge 50%. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-odsyq60z0a)\n\n> “The Seed Tag represents innovative projects that may exhibit higher volatility and risks compared to other listed tokens. The Seed Tag will be applied to ORDI,” — Binance wrote. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-odsyq60z0a)\n\n## Tokenomics\n\nORDI has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, which is the same as [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin). It follows the BRC-20 token standard — a token standard for [Ordinals](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin-ordinal) derived from [Ethereum’s](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) [ERC-20](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-20) fungible token standard. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-gq5o6ptzgwe)[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-zj8q7via1p9)\n\nORDI does not have any intrinsic value, but it derives its value from the market demand and the novelty of being the first BRC-20 token on Bitcoin. It is available to be traded on various exchanges e.g. [OKX](https://iq.wiki/wiki/okx), etc. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-zj8q7via1p9)[\\[6\\]](#cite-id-iyxqblppx4q)","summary":"The ORDI Token is a BRC-20 cryptocurrency on the Bitcoin blockchain, enabling users to encode data onto Satoshis using the Ordinals protocol.","images":[{"id":"QmZMthdxCMY745M2QCDvFFQ8drJzd14p7dbmD67rMvEAXo","type":"image/jpeg, image/png"}],"categories":[{"id":"cryptoassets","title":"Cryptoassets"}],"tags":[{"id":"Memecoin"}],"media":[{"id":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roMgQEp_BJg","size":"0","name":"roMgQEp_BJg","type":null,"source":"YOUTUBE"},{"id":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPvVF89KV4I","size":"0","name":"VPvVF89KV4I","type":null,"source":"YOUTUBE"}],"metadata":[{"id":"references","value":"[{\"id\":\"7z2gvl5srt\",\"url\":\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPvVF89KV4I\",\"description\":\"youtube - ordi token explained\",\"timestamp\":1700574747761},{\"id\":\"zj8q7via1p9\",\"url\":\"https://medium.com/coinmonks/ordi-how-a-brc-20-token-became-a-sensation-in-the-crypto-space-af87ea8e37f2\",\"description\":\"medium - ordi token\",\"timestamp\":1700575938922},{\"id\":\"gq5o6ptzgwe\",\"url\":\"https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ordi/\",\"description\":\"cmc - ordi token\",\"timestamp\":1700576351627},{\"id\":\"g79jlrwyo5h\",\"url\":\"https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ordi\",\"description\":\"coingecko - ordi token\",\"timestamp\":1700576365206},{\"id\":\"odsyq60z0a\",\"url\":\"https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/binance-will-list-ordi-ordi-with-seed-tag-applied-4bd64404aa384fe5a00e0f9b131035db\",\"description\":\"Binance Will List ORDI (ORDI) with Seed Tag Applied\\n\",\"timestamp\":1700578692698},{\"id\":\"iyxqblppx4q\",\"url\":\"https://www.coinex.com/en/blog/4142-what-is-ordinals-and-how-to-buy-ordi-tokens\",\"description\":\"coinEx - ordinals \",\"timestamp\":1700579515684}]"},{"id":"coinmarketcap_url","value":"https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ordi/"},{"id":"coingecko_profile","value":"https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ordi"},{"id":"rootdata_profile","value":"https://www.rootdata.com/projects/detail/ORDI?k=OTY4Nw%3D%3D"},{"id":"previous_cid","value":"\"https://ipfs.everipedia.org/ipfs/Qmb3MELq9ewZwfgHN5py7Cahq9aTZWJ6yD1Uw16pFn6HFe\""},{"id":"commit-message","value":"\"Updated wiki content; changed tag Memecoins to Memecoin and category Cryptocurrencies to Cryptoassets; events 1 to 2; media 2 to 2\""},{"id":"previous_cid","value":"Qmb3MELq9ewZwfgHN5py7Cahq9aTZWJ6yD1Uw16pFn6HFe"}],"events":[{"date":"2023-03-01","title":"Date Founded","type":null,"description":"Ordi was inscribed by an anonymous user on March 8, 2023","link":"https://medium.com/coinmonks/ordi-how-a-brc-20-token-became-a-sensation-in-the-crypto-space-af87ea8e37f2","multiDateStart":null,"multiDateEnd":null,"continent":null,"country":null,"id":"7baa6491-0244-4364-b3e6-e4c5bfd32cf0"}],"user":{"id":"0x8af7a19a26d8fbc48defb35aefb15ec8c407f889"},"author":{"id":"0x212Cb3F4aE6611054637f9f78F18fB628AD258bb"},"operator":{"id":"0x1E23b34d3106F0C1c74D17f2Cd0F65cdb039b138"},"language":"en","version":1,"linkedWikis":{"blockchains":["bitcoin"],"founders":["casey-rodarmor"],"speakers":[]},"recentActivity":"{\"items\":[{\"id\":\"25246fd3-1331-422e-9f79-2a8219049896\",\"title\":\"ORDI Token\",\"description\":\"The ORDI Token is a BRC-20 cryptocurrency on the Bitcoin blockchain, enabling users to encode data onto Satoshis using the Ordinals protocol.\",\"timestamp\":\"2026-07-16T00:41:12.393Z\",\"category\":\"Cryptoassets\",\"status\":{\"icon\":\"RiGlobalLine\",\"label\":\"Wiki Updated\",\"iconClassName\":\"text-green-500\"},\"user\":{\"name\":\"0x212Cb3F4aE6611054637f9f78F18fB628AD258bb\",\"address\":\"0x1E23b34d3106F0C1c74D17f2Cd0F65cdb039b138\"},\"button\":{\"label\":\"View Summary\",\"icon\":\"RiFileTextLine\"},\"summarySections\":[{\"title\":\"Categories\",\"subtitle\":\"Category tags were replaced/renamed.\",\"variant\":\"modified\",\"changeCount\":4,\"changes\":[\"Removed category 'Cryptocurrencies' (id: cryptocurrencies)\",\"Added category 'Cryptoassets' (id: cryptoassets)\",\"Removed category 'Memecoins' (id: Memecoins)\",\"Added category 'Memecoin' (id: Memecoin)\"]},{\"title\":\"Content (Lead / Intro)\",\"subtitle\":\"Lead/intro text was rewritten and small formatting/token-name fixes applied.\",\"variant\":\"modified\",\"changeCount\":2,\"changes\":[\"Rewrote lead/intro: changed from '**$ORDI token*- is a [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency)…' to '**ORDI*- is the first [BRC-20](https://iq.wiki/wiki/brc-20) token on the Bitcoin blockchain, and it has a total supply of 21 million coins.'
