Founded by
@lifofifo and launched via the
@MEonBTC launchpad on 22nd of February 2024,
@TheWizardsOfOrd is one of the most impactful, active and respected communities in the Ordinals ecosystem. The art was made by the talented pixel artist
@Ninicole369.
Consisting of 3333 Wizards, the collection was inscribed on historic Block 78 sats in June 2023 (About 8 months before the mint).
The community is renowned for their technical expertise, thanks to its founder
@lifofifo, who is a goated dev and technical expert in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Beyond their technical skills, the community consistently provide their members with the latest alphas and updates across the broader Web3 ecosystem.

One notable aspect of The Wizards of Ord mint was the effort the team put into carefully curating their community.
Their whitelist which was called the Wandlist, which was largely distributed via an innovative and fun process known as the Trials of Wizards. This involved a scoring algorithm that analyzed wallet activity of participants to assign points. Holding, minting, buying, and delisting earned participants more points, while listing and selling activity reduced their scores.
โ 3000 supply was available for mint, 222 was airdropped to holders of and the remaining 111 was reserved for the treasury.
โ Holders of Nakamoto Archives and Ordrain were eligible to mint and also were also allowed to gift Wandlist to 2 people each.
โ Wandlists were distributed via the trials of wizards experiment, collabs with selected communities and twitter giveaways.

โ Their community have been instrumental in helping new founders navigate the technicalities of inscribing and launching their collections on Bitcoin.
โ They've helped in educating new and old participants of the Bitcoin ecosystem about the technical aspect of Bitcoin. The founder is particularly helpful with answering questions from holders and always willing to assist.
โ Built multiple useful tools which can be accessed by holders for free, or in some cases, at a discounted rate. Below are some of the tools:
- Inscriber Tool (
inscribe.dev) : First ever self custodial inscriber tool, primarily focused on solo inscriptions with support for multi-parent inscriptions and full protocol features without compromising user custody.
- TX Manager (
tx.dev): The TX manager tool allows you to monitor pending transactions, speed up or cancel transaction, burn useless inscriptions, recover excess sats padding, timelock, and many more. This particular tool has been a lifesaver for many people especially when they mistakenly initiate a transaction that needs cancellation.
- Runeblaster (
runeblaster.io): A self-custodial Rune minting tool with batch support up to 25 mints per transaction. This tool was very instrumental to degens during the peak runes hype.
- MagicPool (
magicpool.space): This tool allows you to see what runes and ordinals people are buying while they're still in the mempool, also enabled mempool sniping of runes and ordinals.
In conclusion, I personally feel that the wizards of ord community is highly underrated/undervalued especially given the value and utilities they offer to their holders and the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.
Kudos to the team and looking forward to seeing them keep building and showing up!
What do you like about the Wizards of ord community?
Also let me know which project, community or builder I should spotlight next.

Founded by
@lepuppeteerfou and launched via
@inscribenow_io on the 4th of January 2024,
@BitcoinPuppets is one of the communities on Ordinals which have shown strength since inception.
The collection was released under Viral Public License allowing anyone to use the artwork or likeness for their own creative purposes.

Bitcoin Puppets minted for $10 which was very cheap when compared to the hype they had before launch and how much similar projects charged for mints back when they minted.
โ O.P.I.U.M. holders were able to mint up to 5 Puppets per OPIUM held.
โ The remaining supply was opened to the public.
The mint day was an absolute chaos because everyone who didn't have a GTD spot via OPIUM was struggling to mint in public due to the hype it had, also because of the unique art. Some botters took advantage of the situation and heavily botted the public mint which in turn broke the mint site.
Despite the challenges they had with their mint, the Bitcoin puppets community have become one of the strongest in Ordinals as they've managed to build a strong community and the project evolved to become a community-led project. Also, the founder still shows up as well, sometimes, he's memeing, other times he's commenting on waifu's pictures๐

โ Sponsored Tyler Walker's Racing in July this year with a Puppets-Powered #69 sprint car which was aired on Fox Sports (FS1) and also received a shout out on
@FloRacing stream.
โ Featured in major newspapers and publications. Bitcoin Puppets was featured in a publication by
@CNBC around May this year and also appeared in the Business and finance section of Wall Street Journal on November 10th.
Overall, I love the collective effort the Bitcoin Puppets community have put into building and consistently showing up. Widely regarded as one of the most active communities on Bitcoin, their organic growth and cultural impact are truly inspiring.
Looking forward to seeing them keep building and showing up!
