Sat Names Core Rules

Sat Names is a standard for writing names to Bitcoin using Ordinals Protocol with plain text format.

.sat Names is different from .sats Names which support JSON format to register names.

These are the core rules of the .sat Names:

All .sat names lives on Bitcoin

Bitcoin transactions, and only Bitcoin transactions, are all that is needed to register and update names. Any client can independently compute the true state of all names by Bitcoin node.

The first inscription of a name on Bitcoin owns the name

For example, the first user inscribe an ordinal containing "satoshi.sat" owns that name. First is first.

Case insensitive

The indexer turns the name into lowercase. "ABC.sat", "abc.SAT" and "Abc.Sat" are the same for indexer.

Only text/plain format

Only text/plan format is supported, no json format.
