Tikabit OG Series Supply

Tikabit utilizes a unique element pattern 591.591.11.element (Link to the element registration). Along with this element registration, Tikabit has been deployed with this JSON inscription (Link to the deployment inscription):

{
  "p": "tap",
  "op": "dmt-deploy",
  "elem": "793d501084a7ac87b4a01bd9bb6c24d22120bd368350a8ee797086c2278288c1i0",
  "tick": "tikabit",
  "dim": "h",
  "dt": "n",
  "prv": "895ed8b9d26160b13d7d1ce1d2c2027619115cf143657ea960089c7618b80852i0",
  "id": "0c89d08f9331b0d4c343c003527c093c3cf139edce5f18258669930b45efb87ai0"
}

With this deployment, the supply will be determined by the occurrence of the pattern "591", indicated by the “elem” field in the deployment inscription, which points to the ID of the element registration inscription. Since the field “dt” (data type) is set to “n” (numeric), the “bits” field in the Bitcoin block will be interpreted as decimal. Below is a table illustrating how Tikabit UNATs are linked to specific blocks:

Bitcoin Block Height	Bits Field Value in Decimal Format
199584-201599	436591499
243936-245951	436259150
504000-506015	394155916

Bitcoin's bits field is associated with mining difficulty. Mining difficulty adjusts every 2016 blocks (approximately every two weeks). During any difficulty period where the pattern "591" occurs, a fresh set of 2016 Tikabits will be generated.

Upon launch, Tikabit's supply was set at 6048 UNATs, distributed among three specific block heights (199584, 243936, and 504000), with each batch comprising 2016 Tikabits. Additionally, the total supply of 6048 UNATs was intentionally chosen, symbolically representing time intervals, such as 60 minutes/seconds and 48 hours or 2 days.

Remark:However, only 1500 Tikabits were minted from the OG series before the collection was permanently capped at 1500 to preserve its exclusivity. This ensures that the OG collection remains a scarce, unique, and foundational series within the Tikabit ecosystem, with no future mints possible from this series. The decision to cap the supply highlights the importance of early participation and the value of owning a piece of Tikabit's history.
