Bitcoin NFT "Ordinals" migrates to Litecoin, but on-chain data shows a decrease in popularity.

The crypto community has successfully forked the Ordinals code and launched Litecoin Ordinals on GitHub. However, this development seems to have not received much attention. Meanwhile, Bitcoin NFTs are cooling off, with on-chain data trending downwards from the peak on 2/14.

Ordinals Introduces Litecoins

The initial idea of introducing Inscriptions to Litecoin came from a Twitter user, Indigo Nakamoto, who tweeted on 2/10 that anyone who ports Ordinals to Litecoin will receive a reward of 5 Litecoins.

He later increased the reward to 15 Litecoins, and eventually raised it to 22.

In the early hours of 2/20, Twitter user Crypto Anthony inscribed the privacy protocol MimbleWimble MWEB's whitepaper into the Litecoin blockchain in Inscription form.

He forked the Ordinals code and launched Litecoin Ordinals on GitHub.

However, this initiative seems to have not received much attention.
