Bridging to Ordinals

Ordinal inscriptions are sats on BTC which have data inscribed on to them, making them equivalent to an NFT on BTC.

Bridging from Network A to Ordinals takes place in the following manner

  • Initial Deposit: A user deposits an NFT into a smart contract (referred to as ‘BridgeManager’) on Network A.

  • Lock: This NFT is locked on the bridge in Network A .

  • Tracking: The Lock events for the bridge in network A are monitored by the bridge and a public Chainlink function is called to the bridge backend to continue the transaction on Bitcoin.

  • Funding Address Generation : A temporary address is created where the user is asked to pay the minting Fees (inscription fees) in BTC. This address is monitored for the funds confirmation

  • Inscription Process : The new ordinal representing the NFT is inscribed directly on the user's taproot address.

  • Logging : We keep a track of the Inscribed Ordinals , so that no duplicates are created in the process
