Recently, the Bitcoin protocol; Ordinals; new chief maintainer; Raph; recently merged the "Recursive Inscription" of the Bitcoin protocol; Ordinals; creator; Casey Rodarmor; update number; 2167; in the code.

Recursive inscription refers to a method of inscription on the blockchain, which has the characteristics of self-reference. In the previous inscription method, each inscription is independent, and there is no connection between the inscriptions. But this is about to change with the introduction of recursive glyphs.

Recursive glyphs allow requesting content from other glyphs using the special "/-/content/:glyph;ID" syntax. The possibilities are endless with this simple change.

For example, instead of inscribing;10,;000;JPEG;files individually for a;PFP;collection (which would be very expensive), it would be better to inscribe;200;features from the collection, and then request this via the new inscription syntax ;200; features, combined to make ;10,;000; inscriptions, each inscription uses a small amount of code to request features and present images through programming, which will greatly reduce transaction costs and break through the limit of the size of the inscription image.

In layman's terms, everyone who is familiar with "NFT" knows that one; 10,000; "NFT" collections, most of them are composed of a dozen or dozens of parts, taking the character "PFP" as an example, generally including background, hat , hair accessories, eyes, hanging ornaments, clothes, pants, shoes and other parts, and then arrange and combine these parts into "10000" pictures.

The recursive inscription only needs to upload these dozens of parts, and then call these parts through grammar, and then perform a combination. The previous method is to combine and then upload. Now the recursive inscription has changed this method. This will It saves costs to a great extent and provides more possibilities.

The latter uploaded parts will form a material library, which can be retrieved by everyone, and artists and creators will be able to perform a good post-production on this and open up the imagination.

**Composable; NFT/Inscription Collection: **Like the previous; It will be greatly improved, such as artwork, digital assets, and games on the chain.

Decentralized website: Not just before, casey; answered the questions from community members, adding "JS" and "CSS" types to the inscription types, which means that there may be decentralization in the future Dynamic sites on the web that never go away.

**NFT; Fragmentation: **Since it can be combined, can it be disassembled, fragment the inscription, and then perform one more operation.

Domain Name System: With the improvement of the composability of inscriptions, whether the domain name is not just a link to an address, but more things can be mounted, such as hanging on the webpage and pointing to the included; NFT; and so on.

Summarize

At present, the recursive inscription is only "3" days, which can be regarded as a social experiment, but it has attracted the attention of a large part of the encryption community to discuss whether it can cause the next wave of "BTC" ecology. It takes time to identify, but often Where the hotspots are, there are opportunities.

When new things appear, you need to maintain a keen sense of smell, curiosity and ability to explore new things at all times. Proper research and participation will yield different results.
