There should be a tool that can check the progress of mints to see if a token has been minted, such as orc. This consensus is set by the official 2. To have an indexing tool that can check whether an inscription is valid, the main thing is to see if the inscription is valid. For example, the validity of orc is officially determined, but others are currently unknown 3. To have wallet support, the main function is to parse balances and transfer funds 4. To be able to facilitate transactions, such as corresponding on chain markets and subsequent CEX support Among the above questions, 1 and 2 are the most important because they are related to the subsequent ecological development. Of course, brc20 is also coming step by step.
