🌐 In conclusion, it's essential to understand the technical and operational differences between BRC-20 and ERC-20. While the ecosystem around BRC-20 will continue to evolve, it is unlikely that it will supersede smart-contract based DeFi

πŸš€ BRC-20 is also less efficient than ERC-20. Any mildly complex system built around BRC-20 heavily relies on caching. In contrast, ERC-20 is extremely efficient, cryptographically protected, and operates seamlessly on the blockchain

πŸ› οΈ Any DeFi ecosystem built around BRC-20 will need off-chain tools. This requirement brings in a level of centralization and potential vulnerability. On the other hand, with ERC-20, everything is fully stored and operated on the blockchain

🚧 Contrary to popular belief, BRC-20 isn't fully on the Bitcoin blockchain. Yes, the text is stored as part of Taproot Bitcoin transactions, but Bitcoin isn't aware of BRC-20s. You need an external, off-chain tool to parse and calculate balances

πŸͺ™ BRC-20 doesn't limit the minting of tokens. There is no way of knowing wether a token has been fully minted without parsing every β€œmint” text record. Conversely, ERC-20 ensures that only a predetermined amount of a token can exist, providing a more controlled ecosystem.

πŸ“ With BRC-20, there are no numeric balances. Instead, you need to parse everything from the text. In contrast, ERC-20 gives each address an integer balance, simplifying and enforcing the proper handling of assets

πŸ€” It's crucial to understand what these tokens are. BRC-20 is essentially a piece of text, whereas ERC-20 is a computer program. BRC-20's capabilities are limited to inscription on the blockchain. ERC-20, on the other hand, allows encoding of any execution logic

🎯 Keep in mind that transaction fees and the size of the inscription can affect costs. As the inscription size increases, so does the transaction size, potentially impacting fees required for inclusion in a block

🌱 Taproot addresses play a crucial role in enabling inscriptions. They leverage the power of the Taproot upgrade on the Bitcoin blockchain, providing the necessary flexibility to store arbitrary content within a transaction

πŸ” We can track a single satoshi using these inscriptions. This allows us to trace its journey across transactions, from one taproot address to another. The first satoshi of the first output becomes the vessel for the inscription

πŸ“ An inscription is an arbitrary piece of data attached to an individual satoshi, transforming it into a Bitcoin-native digital artifact. It's like a digital signature, representing something unique and valuable

🧠 Ordinal Theory assigns serial numbers to satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin. These ordinal numbers are assigned in the order satoshis are mined, giving each a unique identity and opening the door to a world of possibilities

🧩 How does it work? Ordinal numbers are assigned to satoshis as they're mined. A simple algorithm is used to determine how satoshis move from inputs to outputs in transactions, maintaining their unique identities. πŸ’ΉπŸ”€

πŸ”‘ The power of Ordinal Theory: Collecting, trading, and scheming!🀝 By assigning identities to satoshis, they become individually trackable and tradable for numismatic value. Plus, it enables inscriptions: a protocol to attach content to satoshis! πŸŽ¨πŸ”
