Reinscriptions in the world of Bitcoin Ordinals, offer a unique way for creators to enhance and update their art or content on the blockchain. This guide aims to provide users with a comprehensive understanding of reinscriptions and how they can impact transactions involving Ordinals.
What are reinscriptions?
Reinscriptions involve the process of inscribing art or content onto a satoshi and subsequently repeating this process on the same satoshi with additional content or updates. In simpler terms, it means multiple inscriptions on the same satoshi, creating a bundled effect.
Why reinscriptions matter
Reinscriptions have gained attention as a new trend in the Ordinals space, offering creators the ability to add layers of value and updates to their art. However, it's crucial for users to be aware of the potential implications, especially when it comes to transactions involving multiple inscriptions.
Unintended transfers
In some instances, users may experience unintended transfers when selling or buying Ordinals with multiple inscriptions on the same satoshi. This means that when one inscription is sold, all bundled reinscriptions associated with that satoshi may be transferred together, impacting the user experience.
How to identify reinscriptions
When browsing the Ordinals marketplace, be on the lookout for warnings or indicators in the collection name or description that a collection contains reinscriptions. These warnings serve as a crucial signal that multiple inscriptions are on the same satoshi and may be bundled together and transferred in transactions.
Important note:
It is the creator's responsibility to inform Magic Eden that their collection includes reinscriptions. Please note that there may be other collections with reinscriptions without a warning displayed on our platform.
