# Ordinals

### Ordinal Inscriptions

Bitcoin ordinal inscriptions are a unique type of digital artifact that exists directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. \
\
They are created by means of inscribing sats (the smallest denomination of Bitcoin) with creative content.  Allowing for the embedding of various types of content, such as images, SVG, text, or HTML, into an inscription transaction.

### Recursive Inscriptions

Recursive inscriptions allow for the data from other pre-existing inscriptions to be referenced and called within any new inscription. \
Giving developers the ability to daisy-chain data to support complex software beyond the current 4MB block space limit.

### Parent/Child Inscriptions

Parent/Child inscriptions involve the creation of relationships between "parent" and "child" tokens or assets on a blockchain. A "parent" inscription serves as the root or primary asset, while "child" inscriptions are associated with and linked to the parent
