Ordinals Litecoin fork took one week and was ‘quite simple,’ says creator

LTC CRYPTO_NEWS

The creator of a Bitcoin Ordinals protocol fork that works on Litecoin said he did it all for a crypto bounty of a few thousand dollars. 

 

A small monetary bounty and an aptitude for coding were all it took to fork the Ordinals protocol to the world’s second-ever cryptocurrency network, Litecoin,, earlier this week, its creator told Cointelegraph.

 

On Feb. 18, an Australian software engineer by the name of Anthony Guerrera posted a repository to GitHub that forked the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol to Litecoin. This allowed for nonfungible token (NFT)-like assets on the Litecoin network in much the same way it had made it to Bitcoin earlier in the year.

 

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Guerrera said he was spurred to make a Litecoin Ordinal fork due to a 5 LTC bounty posted by the pseudonymous Twitter user Indigo Nakamoto on Feb. 11 that rose to 22 LTC, or about $2,000, to anyone who was first to successfully create a fork.
