The Open Ordinals Institute, a California nonprofit corporation in the process of applying for 501(c)(3) status, is a public charity dedicated to nurturing and upholding a thriving ecosystem for the free and open-source development of the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol. We are staunch believers in the essential role of free and open-source software for the future of the internet and the world.

The Open Ordinals Institute is committed to supporting developers involved in this protocol, as well as those creating user-friendly tools that facilitate less technically proficient users to create Bitcoin Digital Artifacts. In addition to developers, we aim to fund designers, reviewers, researchers, educators, and others who contribute to the enhancement and promotion of this novel technology.
