Block Media Format (BMF) — Composable On-Chain Audio/Video

Audio and video on chain is usually a single large file that cannot be edited, reused in part, or owned by more than one person. This describes it as a short timing document referencing separately owned pieces instead.

    1Sat Ordinals — Inscription Envelopes

    A tiny on-chain token can prove it is unique and traceable, but on its own it carries no real content, it cannot hold a picture, a document, or app data. Developers needed a standard way to attach that content directly to the token so wallets and apps can find and display it without inventing their own format.

    Locked Content Header (LCH) — Licensed, Micropayment-Enabled Content

    Right now, if you want to sell access to a song, a page, a video, or a dataset on-chain, you have to invent your own answer to a dozen hard questions: how do I prove I'm allowed to sell this, what exactly did the buyer pay for, how do they get the decryption key, and what happens if someone builds a new song out of three licensed samples. Every app that encrypts content and sells keys for Bitcoin SV payments ends up solving this differently and incompatibly, so a buyer's license from one app means nothing anywhere else.
