What is BitKnight?

CKN official
2 min readMar 3, 2023

BitKnight is a collection of 5555 original native pixel avatars that inherit most of the Cardano version’s characteristics. They were painstakingly crafted by our designers and will be inscribed onto the BTC blocks, protected by the BTC miners, ensuring their eternal existence.

This is a testament to CKN’s insatiable curiosity and proclivity for exploration.

Beginning with the Cardano Knight Network’s original purpose, we are not confined to Cardano alone but are more focused on optimizing our network and pursuing actions that benefit our holders.

Where we started
Become a pioneer, 5 BitKnight Genesis have been inscribed, inscription #61278–62158.

200 Noble Badge holders
They can receive a BitKnight for free through a burn airdrop, with only a nominal gas fee.

5486 remaining supply
They will become the heirs and will be minted through a whitelist and public sale mode. The specifics of the whitelist mode will be released at a later date.

Where Are We Headed?
Initially, we could not set a specific destination. However, simply creating something that is unique to CKNon ordinal has ignited our passion. It may be an essential part of our game roadmap, but we have no intention of setting a fixed destination for this path. Its limits should only be bounded by our imagination.

What is an ordinal inscription?

Bitcoin is a fungible digital currency, but Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs) describe a method called inputs, which allows creators to attach data to individual satoshis (1/100,000,000 of a Bitcoin) and on-chain host metadata, especially for artwork. In effect, this allows satoshis to function like non-fungible items, essentially making the concept of NFTs on the Bitcoin blockchain possible.

The infrastructure and tools for inscriptions (or NFTs) on Bitcoin are rapidly evolving, but still very nascent. We expect this technology and the ecosystem around it to evolve and become more complex over time, however, we do not want it to evolve in the same way as other blockchain NFT ecosystems.

We are excited about the future of ordinal inscriptions and Bitcoin digital artifacts.
