NodeMonkes is the first 10k Ordinals collection on Bitcoin, inscribed in February 2023 as inscriptions #83,522–#111,319.

The project has launched Monkedex, a non-custodial PSBT-based marketplace with zero trading fees and advanced features like Silent Payments integration, Dutch auctions, and private listings.

While technically innovative for Bitcoin NFTs, this is an established collection with 50k+ followers, nearly 2 years old, and $548M+ in historical sales volume including a $1.4M top sale.

Green flags: Genuine technical innovation: first 10k Bitcoin Ordinals collection, non-custodial PSBT marketplace · Strong on-chain provenance with data permanently stored on Bitcoin blockchain · Active development: recent Silent Payments integration (BIP-352), Dutch auctions, advanced filtering · Significant market validation: $548M total volume, sustained trading activity

Red flags: Already established: 50k+ followers, nearly 2-year-old project, well-known in Bitcoin NFT space · Not early-stage: massive historical volume and recognition within Ordinals ecosystem · Past the discovery phase: featured prominently across Bitcoin NFT platforms and communities
