ord is an index, block explorer, and CLI wallet for Bitcoin Ordinals. It tracks sat locations via Bitcoin Core (with -txindex), serves inscriptions and explorer UI, and provides wallet subcommands for inscribing and sat-aware sends. It supports inscriptions (digital artifacts on sats), recursion, runes (fungible tokens), and a JSON API.
