The NFTs of this series are built under the ‘Ordinals' category of NFT designing. When an NFT is inscribed on one Satoshi unit of the Bitcoin blockchain, it gets classified as an Ordinal NFT.

Satoshi, named after Bitcoin's anonymous creator, is the smallest denomination of Bitcoin. As per Crypto.com, one Satoshi token is trading at $0.0002347 (roughly Rs. 0.019).

In 2021, when Bitcoin completed its Taproot upgrade, it added programmability to the blockchain's Satoshi units.

NFTs that fall under the Ordinals category are individually called ‘digital artifacts'.

As per Dune Analytics, over 200,000 Ordinals have already been generated on Bitcoin's Satoshi unit.

The pieces of this series will be sold in an auction.

Last year, the NFT market witnessed a sharp decline. As per a Bloomberg report, the sales of NFTs recorded a 16-month low in December last year, sliding down by 97 percent.

Starting this January, however, the sales of the NFTs spiked significantly. Between January 1 and January 21, over 320,580 people reportedly purchased digital collectibles.
