Dear Bankless Nation,

It was big news when Bitcoin announced Ordinals, the network’s version of non-fungible tokens popularized on other blockchains. This was met with strong opposition from Bitcoin fundamentalists, with miners among them prepared to block transactions that included ordinals.

Despite the blowback, Ordinals are here to stay. Kouros brings the word that Binance will be providing support for Bitcoin Ordinals in their marketplace.

We’re taking a break from the NFT showcase this week; save your ETH for new d’ART Drops arriving in the coming weeks.

Chippi guns for crypto scammers and DustyEye returns with the latest update in their excursion with the Legion of 444.

Welcome to Decentralized Arts.

Binance Adds Support for Bitcoin Ordinals

Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has announced that it will support Bitcoin Ordinals on its NFT marketplace later this month. Bitcoin Ordinals are non-fungible tokens (NFTs) created on the Bitcoin network using text-based inscriptions. They are different from image-based NFTs that are more common on other blockchains.

By adding support for Bitcoin Ordinals, Binance aims to expand its multi-chain NFT ecosystem and offer more opportunities for collectors and creators. Users will be able to buy and sell Bitcoin Ordinals using their Binance accounts, as well as enjoy royalty support and additional revenue streams. Binance NFT already supports NFTs from Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon networks.

Bitcoin Ordinals are one of the latest trends in the Web3 space, attracting attention from artists, developers, and investors. Several NFT marketplaces have already integrated Bitcoin Ordinals, such as Magic Eden, OKX, and Ordswap. Binance NFT hopes to bring more innovation and creativity to the Bitcoin NFT scene with its upcoming update.

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said that Bitcoin ordinals are a "game-changer" for the crypto industry and that Binance is proud to be one of the first exchanges to support them.

THE LEGION OF 444 – Part 17

Eight demons and a box, with illustrations by L.Elrah

Dear BanklessDAO Readers,

Today, we bring you a zoom on the night experience dated 20/21 April 2023 in the rainbow bed of Nanda Vigo.

At 4:44 an alarm goes off announcing with polyphonic chimes that the time has come to migrate 8 digital demons of the Legion.

We report the process carried out briefly, but anyone who wants the details to repeat the Techno-ritual according to a rigorous Scientific Method is requested to write to us. At the end of the post, find the contacts as usual.

Phase 01

Touch each demon simulacrum with the tech staff (in two weeks we'll explain just how to assemble a tech staff, for now give us the benefit of the doubt).

Phase 02

Open yourself to constructive contact with Demons. Too often he's yelled at in Latin to get green vomit in his face, but it's just pointless aggression from both sides.

Phase 03

Spend around twenty-four nanocenturies in Pluritime to converse with the Demons and understand their reasons. As he leaves, he remembers to wish them well and offer them a monetary tribute: in this case, 20 Ukron each.

Step 04

Close the box without sealing it: sealing is an arrogant act.

I would say that's all.

…see you next week,

Dusty Eye
