Amazing Data of Inscriptions: EVM On-chain Daily Total Gas Fee Surpasses 8.3 Million Pounds! Refreshing Historical Records
Today, how many inscriptions have you been involved in?
The term “water seller” comes from a story during the California Gold Rush, where the gold mining sites were located in valleys with scarce water resources. Therefore, the people busy with gold mining suffered the most from the lack of drinking water. As a result, someone came up with the idea of selling water in those gold mining areas. Consequently, the “water seller” earned a lot of money because there were many people in need of water. The infrastructure of the inscription is like the “water seller” of the inscription.
With the continuous popularity of the Bitcoin inscription race, manually participating in on-chain new inscription projects quickly turned into a fierce competition. From a narrative perspective, the inscription is indeed different from many previous large-scale investment and traditional narrative logic dominated by VCs, providing more opportunities for participation for non-OGs and retail investors.
In this context, even though the market is experiencing a short-term pullback, the race has already attracted enough funds and attention, creating opportunities for settling, building, and sharing dividends. Besides the dazzling new inscription projects, the infrastructure of the entire ecosystem, playing the role of the “water seller” in the inscription, naturally has the potential to become a long-term business and a necessity in the inscription race’s continuous development.
This article aims to take stock of the infrastructure projects in the inscription ecosystem (mainly Bitcoin) and provide a glimpse into the gradually forming landscape of the inscription infrastructure.
The projects related to the inscription infrastructure cover wallets, cross-chains, trading markets, casting tools, data & query, and other tracks.
