BRC-4​​20：通过元数据扩展彻底改变比特币的资产潜力

Ordinals 协议的出现带来了将媒体刻入比特币聪的能力，改变了人们对加密货币网络的看法。随后 BRC-20 的到来及其向 BRC-4​​20 的演变进一步扩展了比特币区块链上加密资产的潜力。该开源协议利用比特币元宇宙协议 Bitmap 和 Ordinals，支持元数据功能，从而能够创建和管理复杂的资产格式。 BRC-4​​20 的多功能性引发了炒作，并被众多项目采用，包括 Mineral、Recursive Doodinals 和 Merlin Chain（支持多种比特币协议的第 2 层解决方案）。元数据功能的增加重振了比特币生态系统，为治理、质押、合规性和可转让元宇宙资产的创建开辟了新的可能性。

BRC-420: Revolutionizing the Bitcoin Ecosystem Through Expanded Asset Capabilities

BRC-4​​20：通过扩展资产功能彻底改变比特币生态系统

Introduction

介绍

The advent of the Ordinals protocol in January 2023 marked a paradigm shift in our understanding and interaction with Bitcoin, the world's leading cryptocurrency. Ordinals enabled the inscription of media onto satoshis, effectively transforming them into non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Bitcoin blockchain. However, the introduction of BRC-20, a token standard for minting and transferring tokens on Bitcoin, further cemented this vision.

2023 年 1 月 Ordinals 协议的出现标志着我们对世界领先的加密货币比特币的理解和互动发生了范式转变。序号使得媒体能够刻在聪上，有效地将它们转化为比特币区块链上的不可替代代币（NFT）。然而，BRC-20（一种用于在比特币上铸造和转移代币的代币标准）的推出进一步巩固了这一愿景。

Introducing BRC-420: Metadata Capabilities Unleashed

BRC-4​​20 简介：释放元数据功能

Launched in September 2022, BRC-420 is an open-source asset management protocol that extends BRC-20's capabilities by supporting metadata. Inspired by Ethereum's ERC-721 NFT standard, BRC-420 allows users to create, manage, and share complex asset formats through recursion. This opens up possibilities for the creation of game items, 2D and 3D animations, effects, and even metaverse gameplay modules.

BRC-4​​20 于 2022 年 9 月推出，是一种开源资产管理协议，通过支持元数据扩展了 BRC-20 的功能。受以太坊 ERC-721 NFT 标准的启发，BRC-4​​20 允许用户通过递归创建、管理和共享复杂的资产格式。这为创建游戏物品、2D 和 3D 动画、效果甚至虚拟宇宙游戏模块提供了可能性。

The architectural foundation of BRC-420 lies in the Bitcoin metaverse protocol Bitmap and Ordinals itself. Crucially, the protocol enables the establishment of usage rights and royalties based on a single Ordinals inscription. These terms are embedded in the metadata and enforced by marketplaces and platforms that support BRC-420.

BRC-4​​20 的架构基础在于比特币元宇宙协议 Bitmap 和 Ordinals 本身。至关重要的是，该协议能够基于单个序号铭文建立使用权和版税。这些术语嵌入在元数据中，并由支持 BRC-4​​20 的市场和平台强制执行。

BRC-420: Invigorating the Bitcoin NFT Space

BRC-4​​20：振兴比特币 NFT 空间

BRC-420 has breathed new life into the Bitcoin NFT space by empowering creators and expanding the use cases for BTC-based tokens, particularly in the realms of the metaverse. By leveraging the security and liquidity of Bitcoin while delivering a user experience comparable to Ethereum NFTs, BRC-420 has generated significant hype. Numerous projects have already harnessed the power of BRC-420. Mineral, a Singapore-based crypto protocol, offers a BRC-420-based crypto asset backed by BTC mining power, allowing users to receive periodic interest in BTC by staking. Recursive Doodinals allows users to create their own recursive art using doodles or inscriptions of their choice.

BRC-4​​20 通过赋予创作者权力并扩展基于 BTC 的代币的用例，特别是在元宇宙领域，为比特币 NFT 领域注入了新的活力。通过利用比特币的安全性和流动性，同时提供与以太坊 NFT 相当的用户体验，BRC-4​​20 引起了巨大的炒作。许多项目已经利用了 BRC-4​​20 的强大功能。 Mineral 是一种总部位于新加坡的加密协议，提供基于 BRC-4​​20 的加密资产，由 BTC 算力支持，允许用户通过质押定期获得 BTC 利息。递归涂鸦允许用户使用自己选择的涂鸦或铭文创建自己的递归艺术。

BRC-420 BlueBox, the first asset issued by Bitmap, further exemplifies the protocol's capabilities, boasting a total supply of 10,000.

Bitmap发行的第一个资产BRC-4​​20 BlueBox进一步体现了该协议的能力，总供应量达到10,000个。

Merlin Chain: A Platform Unleashing BRC-420's Power

Merlin Chain：释放 BRC-4​​20 力量的平台

Merlin Chain, a Bitcoin Layer-2 solution, exemplifies the transformative impact of BRC-420. Merlin Chain enables users to pledge BTC, MERL, or other mainstream BRC-20 and BRC-420 assets to compete for node qualifications. Less than six months after the protocol's inception, on-chain data revealed that over $176 million worth of BRC-420 assets had entered the Merlin Chain pledge activity.

Merlin Chain 是一种比特币 Layer-2 解决方案，体现了 BRC-4​​20 的变革性影响。 Merlin Chain允许用户质押BTC、MERL或其他主流BRC-20和BRC-4​​20资产来竞争节点资格。该协议启动不到六个月，链上数据显示价值超过 1.76 亿美元的 BRC-4​​20 资产已进入 Merlin Chain 质押活动。

Merlin Chain is the brainchild of the team that developed BRC-420. With a remarkable growth of 2,000% between March and April 2023, Merlin Chain has ascended to the top 10 chains and is now the largest sidechain in the burgeoning Bitcoin ecosystem. Committed to advancing Bitcoin by empowering native L1 BTC assets and protocols, Merlin Chain supports various Bitcoin protocols, including Atomicals, Pipe, and Stamp, in addition to BRC-20 and BRC-420.

Merlin Chain 是开发 BRC-4​​20 团队的创意。 2023 年 3 月至 4 月期间，Merlin Chain 增长了 2,000%，已跻身前 10 名，目前是蓬勃发展的比特币生态系统中最大的侧链。 Merlin Chain 致力于通过赋能原生 L1 BTC 资产和协议来推进比特币发展，除了 BRC-20 和 BRC-4​​20 之外，还支持各种比特币协议，包括 Atomicals、Pipe 和 Stamp。
