Monero ensures user anonymity through technologies such as ring signatures, stealth addresses, and ring confidential transactions (RingCT). These features make every user on the Monero network anonymous by default, concealing information about the sender, receiver, and transaction amount.

The Ordinals protocol, developed by software engineer Casey Rodarmor, allows data like text, images, audio, and video to be directly inscribed on each satoshi, the smallest unit of Bitcoin. This technology has enabled new uses for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and other tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain.
ORDI has a fixed supply of 21 million tokens and functions as a fungible and transferable asset within the BRC-20 ecosystem.
