== Introduction ==
=== Abstract ===
This document defines a scheme for assigning serial numbers to sats.
=== Copyright ===
This work is placed in the public domain.
=== Motivation ===
Bitcoin has no notion of stable, public accounts or identities. Addresses are
single-use, and wallet accounts are private. Additionally, the use of addresses

== Description ==
=== Design ===

mined. These numbers are termed "ordinal numbers", or "ordinals", as they are
