Гаманець для ORDI

What is ORDI (ORDI)?

ORDI started as an experiment on Bitcoin, not as a coin in the usual sense. It is the original BRC-20 token: a fungible asset whose deploy, mint and transfer records are text inscribed into individual satoshis through the Ordinals protocol. Bitcoin itself does not understand these records; off-chain indexers read the inscriptions and agree on who owns how much. The supply is capped at 21 million, and every unit was created by public minting rather than allocated to a team.

That design is exactly what makes holding native ORDI awkward. A BRC-20 balance is a set of inscriptions sitting on specific satoshis, moving it means paying Bitcoin fees to inscribe a transfer, and an ordinary Bitcoin wallet can accidentally spend the satoshi that carries the inscription. This is why ORDI also exists outside Bitcoin as a representation on other chains, where it behaves like a regular fungible token.

What the Solana version means for a holder

The ORDI you keep in Tangem is that kind of token: an SPL asset on Solana. Transfers cost a small amount of SOL, so a little SOL has to live next to it, and the first incoming transfer opens a token account that also takes a small SOL deposit. Because the name is well known, Solana carries other unrelated tokens that also call themselves ORDI; the ticker alone proves nothing, and a holder should check that what they hold is the listed asset and not a copy.

Supported networks in Tangem (1): Solana. In the app ORDI is a line under its own network, with the SOL for fees a line above it, and any transfer out is signed by a tap of the card on the phone. For an asset whose main risk is confusing the Solana token with a lookalike or with the inscription original, a wallet that names the network on every line and never exposes the key is the right kind of home for it.
