Taproot-Powered Bitcoin NFTs Spark Discussion

Bitcoin now has NFTs (non-fungible tokens) that are completely on-chain and can hold up to 4 MB of data. This makes it possible to publish short videos and other digital assets on the blockchain.

The Ordinals platform is currently the main platform for minting these NFTs, and it stores the data in the segregated witness part of the transaction, which results in a 75% discount on transaction fees compared to Ethereum’s NFTs.
