What is an inscription?

A file that ord binds to a sat; BTI treats it as content, and the sat as the token.

An inscription is a file that ord binds to a sat, carried in a witness envelope. To BTI it is not a token: the inscription is content, and the sat it is bound to is the token that claims the bytes. Its size on block.space is its Book C figure, the file alone. blockspace.to's ord counts 128,170,184 (as of block 972,320, 2026-10-20 12:17:53 UTC).
