ord is an index, block explorer, and command-line wallet for Bitcoin ordinals, which assign serial numbers to satoshis based on mining order. It enables tracking, inscribing, and trading rare and exotic sats, relying on Bitcoin Core for key management.

Use cases

  • index bitcoin satoshis with ordinal numbers
  • run a local ordinals block explorer
  • create and manage bitcoin inscriptions
  • send and receive rare sats from the command line
  • look up which satoshi is in a utxo
  • track inscription transfers on bitcoin

When to choose

  • you need a self-hosted ordinals indexer and explorer
  • you want CLI-based inscription and sat control
  • you're building tooling on top of ordinal theory

When to avoid

  • you need a wallet holding significant funds (ord warns against this)
  • you want a GUI-only bitcoin wallet
  • you need non-bitcoin blockchain support
