ANNOUNCEMENT: We are joining forces with @ArtiesLtd to establish the Ordinals ecosystem’s premier platform for art acceleration.
Introducing @Ancora_art 🎨🖌️
A new era of Art on Bitcoin 🟧
Seen a lot mixed feelings about @MagicEden stopping support for Ordinals. (dw this isn´t a passive shill about another marketplace launching soon)
Magic Eden onboarded countless collectors/users to Ordinals and if it wasn't for them, loads of projects would´t be as big as they are today - I personally think we defenatley owe a lot to them.
ME being an early mover thanks to ChartFu & others also came with downsides. They built architecture on a foundation that is largely viewed as "flawed" now, with numerous indexing issues as well.
Still, ME was by far the most "battle-tested" infra for Ordinals.
ME has to ensure they are a profitable business and considering where we are today, it is obvious why gambling is the direction so many companies are finding themselves pivoting toward.
People want to gamble and we’re in an age where companies are making people gamble without them realizing that they are.
I’ve participated in the Ordinals Ecosystem from the start and have worked with some of the bright minds in the space like @harto_fr@__proper@veryordinally@stenreiss ,.... and launching/supporting several collections including @floraforms
I can say that I think this is one of the most interesting shifts that the space has experienced to-date.
ME ending support will be tough in the short term for Ordinals, however, it creates new incentives for others to build new stuff in a way that is sustainable.
Hopefully that entails being more creator/artist focused!
Ordinals 🧡
We consume art based on what’s finished, but Viewfinder by @schwittlick_ peeks past that at the foundational rules of the process.
As @Phteven_Nobody wrote in his article:
“It makes the space between layers visible and turns process into something we can actually see”
The Ancora Inner Circle private sale period will end next Monday, 12/15!
There are 7 more days before Viewfinder opens its doors to additional, hand-selected communities.
New Inner Circle members thereafter will receive an individual link to mint Viewfinder!
The private sale for the Inner Circle is live!
Head over to the Ancora Discord server for all details.
This phase allows Inner Circle members to select works and reserve specific pieces.
Note: BTC mint price displayed is adjusted on a daily basis! Mint price is 250 Euros.
A new child has been added to the Viewfinder inscription tree by @schwittlick_ & @belvederemuseum.
Private sale participants receive a reservation key, used to claim their selected artwork during the official mint. 🗝️
Going through Inner Circle registrations and it's been great to see so many signups.
Starting tomorrow, we’ll begin DMing selected members.
Next up:
Viewfinder private sale for the Inner Circle. ⭕️
As part of the @belvederemuseum current exhibition Gustav Klimt - Pigment & Pixel we will be hosting a private event around Viewfinder.

More details below!

Where Klimt’s data is transformed into a speculative visual system.
A living system unfolds from the fragments he left behind. 🧬
