Since its launch, Bitcoin Ordinals have seen tremendous growth. According to BRC-20.io data, the number of BTC-20 tokens has risen to 35,498 now. The overall market capitalization has hit a whopping $1.227 Trillion with a trading volume of over $44.22 Billion.
As the numbers suggest, the growth has been significant and remains unchallenged. However, rapid adoption has driven up congestion, which is a rising concern that the newly launched BRC-69 expects to resolve.
Luminex noted in the announcement BRC-69 as a “revolutionary standard for creating Recursive Ordinals” based on the Bitcoin blockchain. The standard primarily focuses on resolving the issue of scarcity of block space and the associated rise in cost. It takes an “innovative approach” where the creators could manifest ideas while keeping the efficiency optimized.

BRC-69 focuses on the four-step procedure to reduce the cost of Bitcoin Ordinals Inscriptions by over 90%. It includes inscribing of traits, deploying of collection, compiling the collection and minting of assets.
According to Luminex, the standard allows minters to inscribe single lines of text rather than a full image. The text facilitates the automatic rendering of the final image at the ordinals frontends. Given the “recursive inscriptions” capabilities, the whole process relies completely on on-chain resources.
The standard offers ‘high flexibility’ and makes the process of adding features easier. Launching collections on the blockchain using a on-chain pre reveal process.
