What is Ordinals?
Ordinals (ORDI) is a cryptocurrency built around the Ordinals protocol, an innovation that grew out of the Bitcoin ecosystem. The protocol lets people inscribe digital content directly onto individual satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin, so the data is recorded permanently on the Bitcoin blockchain.
By writing content onto satoshis, Ordinals turns Bitcoin's existing infrastructure into a decentralised marketplace for digital collectibles and other inscribed items. Each inscription lives on Bitcoin's network, which pairs the chain's established security with a new way to create and own on-chain content.
Ordinals works without smart contracts, relying instead on Bitcoin's native capabilities. Holders of ORDI can take part in this emerging space of Bitcoin-based digital assets, from creating inscriptions to trading them peer to peer.

FAQ
Buying Ordinals: FAQs
What is the smallest amount of Ordinals I can buy?
You can begin with a small amount. Digital Surge does not ask you to buy a whole coin, so you can put in a modest sum of AUD and receive a fractional amount of ORDI. Start with what feels comfortable and add more later whenever you like.
How quickly can I buy ORDI after I sign up?
Most people are trading within minutes. Once you have created your account and passed the short ID check, a PayID deposit of AUD usually arrives in under a minute, and you can then buy ORDI straight away at the live Australian-dollar price shown here.
Can I sell my Ordinals back to AUD later?
Yes. Whenever you want to cash out, you can sell your ORDI back to AUD on Digital Surge and withdraw the Australian dollars to your linked bank account. There is no lock-in period, so you can hold for as long or as short a time as you choose.
How do Ordinals work with Bitcoin?
Ordinals inscribe digital content directly onto individual satoshis, the smallest units of Bitcoin, using the chain's existing infrastructure. This creates permanent, traceable items on the Bitcoin network without any separate smart contract layer, which is what sets the protocol apart from token systems on other chains.
What can I do with ORDI once I own it?
Holding ORDI lets you take part in the Ordinals ecosystem that has formed around Bitcoin inscriptions. You can trade inscribed digital assets, follow the growth of the protocol, and engage with a decentralised marketplace for Bitcoin-native content, while your coins stay in your Digital Surge wallet.
