An Ordinal (a "1Sat Ordinal") is a piece of content — an image, an audio file, a video, a web page, text, or another file — that has been permanently inscribed onto the BSV blockchain. Because it lives on-chain, it can never be altered or deleted, and it carries its own provenance: who created it and when. The catch is that nobody can easily browse Ordinals unless a website surfaces them — which is exactly what the Ordinals directory on BSV Search does.
