Inscriptions are the solana equivalent to Bitcoin ordinals in that they are true digital artifacts. The data for the images is stored directly on the blockchain, unlike NFTs. They just went live for trading on tensor.

Ordinary NFTs just point to a jpeg on arweave. They’re not immutable. Inscriptions are not your ordinary NFT.
Nope. Spl20. Look here at the other inscriptions: https://www.spl20.io/
Ordinals are digital artifacts in that the data is written directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain. This is the same except it’s written on the solana blockchain.
Inscriptions are immutable NFTs, just like ordinals are immutable NFTs.
This is a forced concept, won’t catch on, Bitcoin style ordinals don’t make sense on Solana.
What should I gather from this? It’s a Solana Dapp Scaffold with some tiles on it.
Example of such an ordinal NFT: https://solscan.io/token/FR6akTv3e3kmidsxSS12Pg8U1YJ7oqEVkfeETQWMeD3F#metadata
uri is on arweave, type is metaplex. Doesn’t it contradict what you wrote above?
I’ll be honest, I’m guessing here, but I think that arweave link is just so the nft is easily viewed, but in the case that the link is broken, the jpeg isn’t lost because it’s encoded in the block, so you could still view it.
Again the point of these inscriptions is that it makes the data immutable. These are not your standard nfts, these are different.
I understand you’re not familiar with them and thus very skeptical. They’re extremely new, but I’m not acting in bad faith here. I’m sharing them because they’re blowing up right now because it’s new tech on solana. They’re fundamentally different than other NFTs on the solana blockchain.
