according to explain As part of BitKeep’s cross-chain wallet, Bitcoin Ordinals “is a numbering system that assigns each SAT (Satoshi or 1/100 million bitcoin) a unique number that allows tracking and trading.” Satoshi added the etching process of an additional layer of data, which allows users to mint unique digital assets on the Bitcoin blockchain.
