Bitcoin Ordinals are no longer the only NFTs on the network, as Bitcoin Stamps are ready to play with a new take on embedding images onto the blockchain.

The NFT protocol known as Secure Tradeable Art Maintained Securely, or STAMPS, stores the image data directly within transaction outputs rather than the transaction witness data.

According to its founder, it is the most secure way of inscribing data onto the Bitcoin blockchain and can be used to issue semi-fungible tokens, similar to the ERC-1155 standard. However, it is largely constrained to lightweight images.

Starting next week on April 14th, Australian users will be barred from increasing their existing positions or opening new ones, and they will only have a week to manually close their remaining positions before it is automatically done by Binance.
