🚨 Critical Bitcoin vulnerability could affect Ordinals Protocol! NVD, affiliated with the US Department of Commerce, has uncovered a vulnerability in some versions of Bitcoin that bypasses the data carrier limit, allowing data to be disguised as code. 🎨

• Ordinals has been revolutionizing the digital art scene since 2022 with the ability to integrate unique works into Bitcoin transactions.

• This vulnerability can clog the blockchain, increasing network size and negatively impacting performance and fees.

Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr and podcaster Peter McCormack state that Ordinals does not contribute positively to Bitcoin users and worsens the network's already high fees. Fixing the flaw may lead to the demise of Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens, but the existing inscriptions will remain unchanged.
