Have you ever touched an NFT – or seen one floating in the air right in front of your eyes? The time has come to advance digital collectibles – and bring them as close to the physical reality as they have ever been, enabling a plethora of new use cases. That’s exactly what Jade ARdinals do, all on the very first and most popular blockchain in the world, Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Ordinals have taken the crypto world by storm. As hundreds of digital artifacts pop up, it becomes increasingly difficult to navigate the inscriptions’ landscape. The demand grows for simple yet captivating projects ready to offer unique utility for owners of digital art items, collectors, and projects with their communities. 

One of those projects is ARdinals – a platform where anyone can create an AR-driven Ordinal collection, enabling immersive augmented reality experiences. ARdinals also allow for enhancing the existing Ordinals with AR, bringing a new dimension to Bitcoin inscriptions. 

This lets the crypto community practically touch digital art, serving as a direct link between the crypto world and reality. Creating an inscription in AR/VR allows breathing new life into collectibles and brings joy to collectors who can contemplate their digital artifacts in augmented reality. What’s more, ARdinals offer tangible utility – they open the possibility to create new levels of traits, increase the value of existing collection items, and activate entirely new DeFi mechanics.
