🦆DomoDucks
Introduction
DomoDucks is a Bitcoin Ordinals collection wherein each component is cohesively and immutably linked, not merely by marketplace trust or social consensus, but by on-chain provenance.
Inscription #256 was the first representation of a duck inscribed on Bitcoin. This inscription serves as the parent of the collection. This parent has been combined with generative coding to create the data required for the children of the collection thus establishing a parent-child relationship that will allow collectors to verify the validity of each inscription in the collection. And since the parent inscription is #256, the collection contains 256 children that were created by hashing a random seed value with SHA-256, and each of these children are displayed on a canvas of 2560 pixels, with the collection comprising a palette of 256 colors. And for the icing on the cake, since 256 is divisible by 9 numbers (i.e., 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256), each child has been inscribed on a Block 9 sat!
This collection is called DomoDucks to honor Domo: the creator of ORDI and of the BRC-20 token standard, who kick-started the Goosinals movement with a single X post (HONK). And, of course, the next logical step from geese is obviously ducks (QUAQ). While Domo is not officially involved in this project, he graciously granted us permission to title this collection after him. Thank you, Domo!
The creator of the Ordinals Protocol (i.e., Casey Rodarmor) once remarked that if he had it to do over, he would “seriously consider requiring all inscriptions to have at least one parent, linking them all into a huge, convoluted family tree.” And since that's precisely the way that DomoDucks is structured, we have a web application that allows everyone to easily explore all of the parent-child relations within the entire DomoDucks family tree. It's so much fun to analyze on-chain data in this way—give it a try!
