Ord io is shutting down on June 1. Three years ago, we launched our idea for "an Ordinals explorer with upvotes". We had no idea what was about to happen. Since then, Ord io has grown into a platform used by over a million people to explore inscriptions on Bitcoin. It brought us so much joy to ship features like Satributes for discovering the rare sats behind inscriptions and Block Vision for monitoring real-time Runes minting activity. Even simple filters and sorting options took on a life of their own. "Sort by largest inscription" quickly turned into a leaderboard where inscribers competed to create the biggest "four megger". And even the things that annoyed us at the time are funny to look back on now, like when the Bitcoin Puppets community would "raid" other collections so hard that we had to remove the downvote feature. To help preserve some of the Bitcoin culture that happened on Ord io, we'll be uploading the full history of upvotes, replies, and public address profiles to GitHub. That way, if someone wants to build their own Ordinals explorer with this context in the future, they can. Thank you to every single artist, collector, dev, and degen who joined us for this ride 🧡


We're shutting down @ord_io and @ZapApp at the end of the month This really sucks because great people put a lot of hard work into these products, friends invested in me, our users believed in us, and I feel like I let everyone down In the end we ran out of money and don't see a path forward Despite that I'm still incredibly proud of everything that we did I'm proud that we organically built two respected crypto brands that never farmed anyone or launched a token I'm proud that we empowered over a million people to explore Ordinals inscriptions on Bitcoin I'm proud that we shipped an app that let anyone sign up and buy a Bitcoin memecoin in under 30 seconds (an experience that many considered impossible) For the past 3 years I've woken up every day excited to build in the Bitcoin ecosystem and feel blessed to have had that opportunity I never took a salary, have no regrets, and wouldn't trade the epic moments we had along the way for anything Thank you to my cofounder Zach, our team, our investors, and all of our users for being part of this journey with me 🧡
