After Ordinals came BRC-721.

A tri-part collaboration between [Bitcoin Miladys](https://www.bitcoinmiladys.com/), Ordinals Market, and XVerse, you can now bridge [ERC-721 NFTs to Bitcoin](https://twitter.com/BitcoinMiladys/status/1663266300372701185?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1663266300372701185%7Ctwgr%5E96d8f3bb17dafcb7f394d78f298b774e344921e1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.coindesk.com%2Fweb3%2F2023%2F05%2F30%2Fbrc-721e-token-standard-bridges-ethereum-nfts-to-bitcoin-ordinals%2F).

**What is BRC-721E?**
---------------------

A new Bitcoin token standard that allows you to convert Ethereum-based NFTs onto Bitcoin. ERC-721 to Ordinals.

Time for a brand new protocol.

**How does this work?**
-----------------------

1.  Transfer your NFT to a burn address (this NFT will no longer exist on Ethereum)
    
2.  This call acts as an on-chain inscription request
    
3.  After burn, BRC-721E data gets inscribed onto a satoshi on the Bitcoin network
    
4.  Collections that bridge using BRC-721E automatically appear on Ordinals Marketplace
    

Where is the metadata stored?
-----------------------------

None of the metadata is actually stored onchain.

Right now, you can only see onchain _previews_ of your NFTs, by:

*   Storing a lower quality preview image onchain
    
*   Combining BRC-721 and BRC-721E to supply onchain data
    
*   Store multipart data onchain
    
*   Use teleburn (inscribing in advance)

It’s basically trading receipts for jpegs on BTC.

Interesting idea. If the image is ultimately on an ipfs, it now has three points of failure rather than two (BTC, ETH, and three ipfs).  
  
How is this superior than having an NFT directly on ETH?
