Satoshi Relics Curation: Only a Tiny Fraction of 50k Renders Become Mints
Satoshi Relics Curation: Only a Tiny Fraction of 50k Renders Become Mints
🔍 The Curation Process
Proof of Beauty's rendering system has processed 40-50k different transaction renders for their Satoshi Relics project. However, only a small fraction of these renders ultimately become mints.
The team acknowledges minters as the true "miners" of the platform, curating which Bitcoin transactions become permanent art pieces.
Background on Satoshi Relics:
- Launched January 27, 2026 at 10 AM PT
- Mint price: 0.0005 BTC
- Transforms real Bitcoin transactions into generative pixel art
- Each piece is a 1/1 Ordinal pegged to actual Bitcoin history
- Built on a custom in-house inscription protocol
- Draws from 1.3 billion Bitcoin transactions
The project celebrates Bitcoin's cultural history, similar to how Ordinals launched 3 years ago on January 22, 2023.

The first P2P transaction, Satoshi to Hal Finney (Block 170), turned into a Satoshi Relic pegged to the tx. Bitcoin becomes generative art, telling stories about it's history.
On January 11, 2009, the first Bitcoin transaction was sent to Hal Finney (an early user) from Satoshi Nakamoto (the original inventor), officially creating a peer-to-peer network. Satoshi Nakamoto 🖥️ --- ₿ ---> 🖥️ Hal Finney Read @halfin’s inspiring story about the moment 👇

On Jan 27 at 10 AM PT, Bitcoin’s everyday transactions become 1/1 Ordinals, each pegged to real Bitcoin history. Every transaction is unique. Every Relic is scarce. Like a penny press, each tx is stamped into art.

3 years ago today, Ordinals launched on Bitcoin, igniting an artistic and cultural movement. Inscription #0 started it all. We've generated this Satoshi Relic directly from the raw TX that inscribed the first ordinal. A timeless artifact of Bitcoin history. Happy Birthday! 🧡
The Ordinals Protocol was publicly announced on Jan 21, 2023 by @rodarmor, marking the moment BTC culture went mainstream. BTC didn’t just store value. It started storing culture. Permanent. Verifiable. Sovereign.
gm everyone! We’ve updated our mint for the Satoshi Relics Standard Collection to January 27 at 10 AM PT. Momentum is returning, steadily. As Ordinals move forward, this run will be historic. We will be at the front of the wave. We believe in art on Bitcoin! 🧡 #generativeart
What does it take to curate Satoshi Relic mints? Our rendering system handled nearly 40-50k+ different transaction renders now. Of those 50k, only a tiny fraction becomes mints. Minters, you are truly the "miners" of proof of beauty. Doing fine work folks.
Generative art is trending 😌 Bitcoin transaction → onchain artwork Decoded data. Encoded pixels. Details in the alt caption. #generativeart #genart
For our upcoming mint, Satoshi Relics, we developed our own in-house inscription protocol. Built around novel mechanics and a first-of-its-kind art collection on Bitcoin. Pixel art generated on demand from 1.3 Billion transactions.

Bitcoin Halving History Immortalized as On-Chain Art Collection
A new project is minting Bitcoin's historical moments as on-chain artifacts, focusing on significant blockchain events. **Key highlights:** - Transactions from Bitcoin's first 1,000 blocks now available as collectibles - Featured collection: All 457 transactions from block 210,000 (Bitcoin's first halving event) - Additional artifacts include Silk Road-era transactions and personal Bitcoin history - Each piece uses generative art derived from actual transaction data The [curated first halving collection](http://www.pob.studio/c/first-half) transforms blockchain data into visual representations, with larger transactions highlighted as "Relics." This approach treats the blockchain as a cultural archive, preserving pivotal moments in cryptocurrency history through art.
97 of First 100 Bitcoin Coinbase Transactions Now Community-Owned Satoshi Relics
**Historic milestone reached as Bitcoin's earliest transactions return to the community** Nearly all of Bitcoin's first 100 coinbase transactions - 97 to be precise - are now owned by users as Satoshi Relics. This marks a significant shift in how Bitcoin's foundational history is preserved and distributed. **Key developments:** - Community ownership of early Bitcoin history - Each transaction becomes a collectible "Relic" - Over 1.2 billion transactions have been transformed into this format - Historical narratives are being permanently inscribed on-chain Unlike pre-minted NFT collections, Satoshi Relics are generated on demand from actual Bitcoin transactions. The project aims to preserve Bitcoin's history in the hands of its users rather than concentrated among early adopters. The initiative includes on-chain documentation of Bitcoin's story, ensuring the network's past remains accessible and owned by its community.
Historic Ordinals Launch EXquisite Parent Inscription on Bitcoin
**Historic Ordinals** has inscribed a new Relic on Bitcoin, generated from the transaction that created the EXquisite parent inscription by @harto_fr. **Key Details:** - Inscriptions are created with deliberate intent and respect for Bitcoin as a medium - Each piece aims to establish something permanent on the blockchain - The project focuses on capturing historical moments through on-chain art Historic Ordinals positions itself as a way to document Bitcoin's history through inscriptions, similar to how transactions naturally record the network's evolution.
Historic Ordinals Minted on Bitcoin Blockchain
New historic ordinals were minted on the Bitcoin blockchain last night, continuing the trend of inscribing cultural artifacts directly onto Bitcoin. **What are Ordinals?** - Digital artifacts inscribed directly on individual satoshis (the smallest unit of Bitcoin) - Bring historical and cultural documentation to Bitcoin's immutable ledger - Allow collectors to own pieces of blockchain history This minting event adds to the growing collection of on-chain art and historical records stored permanently on Bitcoin.
Historic Coinbase Transaction to Become Mintable Onchain Relic
An upcoming Coinbase transaction is being positioned as a significant onchain artifact that captures current market conditions. Once executed, the transaction will be available to mint as a commemorative relic. This follows a pattern established in 2025, when the Bitcoin transaction that inscribed the Digital Rosetta Stone was similarly preserved as a Relic by OnChainMonkey. The approach treats blockchain transactions as historical records - capturing market sentiment and conditions in a permanent, mintable format.
