what's Bitmap?
Bitmap is a protocol built on the Bitcoin blockchain utilizing Ordinals inscriptions to create a metaverse ecosystem. It enables the inscription of unique 21 million bitmaps, each representing virtual land parcels that users can own, trade, and develop within a decentralized spatial mapping system on Bitcoin. This project leverages Bitcoin's security and scarcity to establish a pixel-based naming and mapping layer, where bitmaps function as identifiers and assets in a virtual world. The core mechanics involve inscribing bitmap data directly onto satoshis via Ordinals, allowing for immutable ownership and interoperability. Users interact through marketplaces for buying/selling these inscribed assets, with the protocol supporting applications like decentralized domains (.bitmap) and metaverse builds. Bitmap emphasizes Bitcoin-native innovation, avoiding reliance on sidechains or tokens for core functionality, though it integrates with BRC-20 standards for enhanced utility. As part of the broader Bitcoin Ordinals movement, Bitmap fosters community-driven development, enabling creators to build experiences on its mapped terrain without centralized control.
