French Montana has opened a new page in the relationship between music and cryptocurrencies by becoming the first mainstream artist to complete the incorporation of a song, “Bag Curious,” into the Bitcoin blockchain.
This announcement, made on March 14 via Mac & Cheese 5’s account on the X platform, introduces an innovative concept by combining musical art with blockchain technology.
The previously unreleased track from the Mac & Cheese 5 album is now permanently recorded on the blockchain using the Ordinals protocol.
This process ensures that the work is permanent and resistant to alteration or deletion, marking a breakthrough in how artistic works can be preserved and distributed in the digital realm.
Inscribing a song in Bitcoin via Ordinals converts the audio file to a format that can be attached to specific satoshis on the blockchain. This procedure ensures that the work is recorded in an enduring and tamper-proof manner. A transaction takes place that carries the audio data, awaiting confirmation from miners, which permanently fixes the song on the chain.
Subsequent access to the music requires applications capable of reading and playing this unique data. This method stands out for its ability to combine blockchain technology with art, guaranteeing a distribution platform that protects the originality and accessibility of the works.
This song has been recognized as the third most extensive registration through the Ordinals protocol, highlighting the creative application of blockchain for more than just monetary transactions .
The collaboration with the Ord.io platform made this project a reality, French Montana not only secures a permanent place for “Bag Curious” in digital history, but also opens avenues for future artistic explorations in this unalterable digital medium.
