How the Collection Works

How Bitcoin Nouns came into existence and how we made it happen.

A New Day, A New Bitcoin Noun

Each day, as a new Noun emerges on Ethereum, its legacy is etched forever into the Bitcoin blockchain—creating a timeless counterpart: a Bitcoin Noun. Join the daily evolution as the collection grows, with each unique Noun immortalized as a historic inscription. Explore the marketplace and claim your own piece of this innovative journey.

Nouns.wtf - A new Noun, forever

How We Got Here, Fam

Between February 5, 2023, and March 24, 2024, around 200 Nouns were individually inscribed by about 100 early adopters. On March 24, 2024, the community rallied and, within two days, inscribed nearly all remaining Ethereum-based Nouns—up to Noun 1078—as Bitcoin Ordinals, completing the initial batch by March 26, 2024.

Your Chance to Make History (At Lower Costs!)

Since then, many Nouns have been quickly inscribed, yet dozens remain available to inscribe yourself—often at inscription costs significantly lower than marketplace prices on Magic Eden. Inscribing your own Noun is affordable, fun, and lets you become part of Bitcoin Nouns history.

We'll keep minting new Nouns every day, forever—so there's always an opportunity to join in! Feeling ambitious? Maybe today’s Bitcoin Noun is waiting to be inscribed by you.

The original Nouns (from Nouns.wtf) inscribed on Bitcoin.

Only the first-version inscriptions of each Noun are included in the Bitcoin Nouns Magic Eden collection. First is first. To learn more about our mission, check out this short thread on Twitter.

The "First Inscription" simply means the earliest inscription. For the Bitcoin Nouns collection, the First Inscription is inscription 3901, WTF, that's early.
