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.

      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.
