Bitcoin Appstore (by @OpenOrdinal) is the appstore of Bitcoin, an ecosystem for builders, artists, and entrepreneurs building the next generation of the web - one grounded in digital private property, free expression, and open innovation on Bitcoin.
We’re pioneering a new standard for publishing, ownership, and commerce through Ordinal technology — enabling apps, games, media, and assets to live directly on Bitcoin.
Mission:
To accelerate Bitcoin’s evolution into the open foundation for a free and prosperous internet.
Vision:
A world where every digital interaction, from code to music to money, is owned and controlled by the individual.

Open Ordinal was born out of a vision to enhance the way we interact with the Bitcoin blockchain, aiming to make it easier to build with Ordinals for the next generation internet.
Open Ordinal provides 9 different elements for builders to take advantage of:
- Metadata: an extensible format designed to standardize and enhance the metadata associated with Ordinals.
- Bootstrap: an on-chain JavaScript library / module that solves the immutable initial loading of a dynamic ordinal.
- API: an on-chain JavaScript library / module that can be externally linked by any Ordinal to access recursive functionality and to share its internal data and functionality with an external entity.
- Stitch: an on-chain JavaScript library / module and a command line tool that can split and stitch binaries to overcome the ~400 KB limit enforced by Bitcoin miners and the 4 MB block size limit.
- Probe: a command line tool that can probe and analyze ordinals and report their internal workings.
- Vault: an automated index of public inscribed assets / libraries inscribed on the Bitcoin chain. This includes all kinds of assets / libraries, not only the ones made by Open Ordinal.
- Rarity: an online tool to get an overview of the rarity of Ordinals in Collections.
- Simulator: a command line tool that can run a Bitcoin Core and Ord server and using TypeScript or JavaScript for inscribing, testing and debugging Ordinals.
- Inscriber: a command line tool that can do full inscription of Ordinals using TypeScript or JavaScript.
