What else is known? In April, the trading volume of Bitcoin Frogs tokens was only $52 000, but already in May, the total figure since the beginning of the month exceeded 6,6 million. The developer of the blockchain explorer for BRC-20 standard tokens Ord.io under the nickname Leonidas.og said on Twitter that the NFT collection created using the protocol Ordinals on the Bitcoin network became the largest by all blockchains for the first time in history.

The protocol, launched in early 2023, can be used to tie data/digital assets/NFTs to satoshi, the smallest fractional part of BTC (0,00000001 part of the coin). Bitcoin-NFTs are also called inscriptions.

What is known about Bitcoin Frogs? The collection consists of 10 000 generative pixel images of frogs with various rarity attributes. The asset release only charges a transaction fee on the Bitcoin network, and the project is positioned as non-profit and aims to “encourage adoption of Ordinals.”

Number of addresses with balances from 1 BTC for the first time exceeded 1 million

The historical figure was reached on May 13

Earlier, Luke Dashjr, one of Bitcoin Core’s developers, called on the community to ban bitcoin-NFTs because of network congestion. He suggested changes to the blockchain’s spam filter as one countermeasure.
