<h4><strong>Ordinals are a new creation in the crypto space. Not even a year has passed since it gained popularity. Yet, as such a young project, the pace of its growth is blistering, and placing entire websites on Bitcoin today is possible.&nbsp;</strong></h4> 
<p>And in this article, we’re going to be learning more about that. But, before we begin, let us do a quick recap on what Ordinals are.</p> 
<h5><strong>Introduction</strong></h5> 
<p>In a nutshell, the entire project is a dual-layer one. Ordinals form the base layer. And, inscriptions form the top layer. Here, Ordinals represent arbitrary data stored within one Satoshi (Sat). That’s 1 over 100,000,000 of 1 $BTC.</p> 
<p>To turn a sat into an ordinal, you’ll need inscriptions. These allow you to add data into a Sat. This makes the Sat unique compared to others. With that, you’re turning a Sat into an <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/category/nft/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFT</a>.

<p>Having websites on Bitcoin has always been a goal for Ordinals. Currently, we can already inscribe so many types of data on a Sat. For instance: Text,&nbsp;Audio, and Video.&nbsp;So, why not websites next?</p> 
<h6><strong>The Problem and Solution With Inscribing Websites on Bitcoin</strong></h6> 
<p>Simply put, the reason is because inscriptions are permanent. You can’t change an inscription once it’s applied on a Sat. This permanence is what gives value to an NFT in the first place.</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">We've long talked about the value of being able to inscribe something onto Bitcoin permanently. Not just art, but other mediums like text and even websites.</p> 
 <p>But unlike standard websites, inscriptions can't be changed once they have been published.</p> 
 <p>Until now <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f92f.png" alt="🤯" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;"></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> 
<p>Without this ability to change the data on a Sat, websites cannot be inscribed on a Sat. Thankfully, a solution is now uncovered!</p> 
<p>To solve this problem, recursive endpoints come into play. As of Ord v0.12.0 (the latest update), two types of recursive endpoints are added. These are /r/children and /r/sat.</p> 
<p>Ok. These sound like alien language to you, right? Allow me to explain! In short, with this upgrade, a parent inscription can view or pull data from its child inscriptions. To add on, it can view other inscriptions from other Sats too. You can see more <a href="https://twitter.com/trustmachinesco/status/1730246771648213473?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. To help you understand this concept, let us dive into some examples below.</p> 
<h6><strong>Examples of Amending Inscriptions on a Sat</strong></h6> 
<p>First, let’s take a look at the below tweet. Here, the parent inscription is a picture of a stick figure with a white background. Then, the creator added a child inscription of the color “orange” to his Sat. The parent inscription detects this. Voila! The background color of the original picture has changed to orange!</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Somebody just inscribed a child under their rug me to change the background color! <a href="https://t.co/Vfla53USs6">pic.twitter.com/Vfla53USs6</a></p>

</blockquote> 
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> 
<p>Next, we take a look at a whole blog that’s been inscribed onto a Sat. Within this Sat, the creator inscribes a script that:</p> 
<ol> 
 <li>Scans for child inscriptions.</li> 
 <li>Displays these child inscriptions with a click.</li> 
</ol> 
<p>The result? An ever-changing Sat that displays the latest blog posts, with each being a new child inscription. Now, that looks like a sweet website to me!</p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">2⃣ Hidden within Inscription 43779238 is a full-on blog <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f92f.png" alt="🤯" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;"></p> 
 <p>In this code from <a href="https://twitter.com/SanjFomojis?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SanjFomojis</a> is a script that scans for child inscriptions, and serves up each one with each click.</p> 
 <p>And new inscribed children (thus, additional blog posts) can be added at a later date! <a href="https://t.co/Dzp1LKmCgL">pic.twitter.com/Dzp1LKmCgL</a></p>

<h5><strong>Conclusion</strong></h5> 
<p>Without a doubt, websites on Bitcoin are a reality. Today, we can see dynamic art and updated blogs on Sats. With the latest Ordinals update, the possibilities could be endless for Ordinals in the future.</p>
