The Bitcoin protocol Ordinals has launched "recursive inscriptions," which allows inscriptions to exceed the 4MB limit in size.

BlockBeats reported on June 12th that Raph, the newly appointed chief maintainer of the Bitcoin protocol Ordinals, recently merged the "recursive inscription" 2167 update proposed by Casey Rodarmor, the creator of the Bitcoin protocol Ordinals, into the Ordinals code on Github. According to developer Leonidas.og's interpretation, inscriptions can now use special "/-/content/:inscription_id" syntax to request the content of other inscriptions. This simple change unlocks many powerful use cases. For example, instead of engraving 10,000 JPEG files separately for a PFP collection (which would be very expensive), it is better to engrave 200 features from the collection and then make 10,000 engravings, each using a small amount of code to request features and present images through programming. Artwork is just stored on the chain in a more efficient way. In the case of Bitcoin Apes, this can save more than one million dollars in transaction fees. In addition, it is possible to completely engrave many code packages on the Bitcoin chain. Because the code (in text form) is called, the volume is very small, which allows the size of the inscriptions to exceed the 4MB limit of the Bitcoin block, making it possible to fully bring complex 3D video games onto the Bitcoin chain.
