Generative BRC-721 Standard for Bitcoin Ordinals Ecosystem

This document outlines the Generative BRC-721 standard, an innovative protocol aimed at optimizing block space usage on the Bitcoin network. This standard will streamline the creation and minting of Non-Fungible Ordinals (NFOs), ultimately reducing block space usage between 50% and 90%.

Overview

The Generative BRC-721 standard employs a two-step process:

1. Deploy Operation: Create a Generative BRC-721 collection with unique traits stored on-chain.

2. Mint Operation: Generate a Non-Fungible Ordinal (NFO) which references the traits from the deploy operation.

A case study involving a Generative BRC-721 collection called "OrdiBots" has demonstrated a block space reduction of 55%.

Deploy Operation

The deploy operation creates a Generative BRC-721 collection. It uses a JSON/Text inscription to store the general information of the collection and the base64 encoded data of the traits composing the collection on-chain.

Here is a JSON example of a deploy operation inscription for the "OrdiBots" collection:
