webglo, or WebGL Ordinals, is a pioneering video art project that embeds high-fidelity, browser-rendered graphics onto the Bitcoin blockchain using the Ordinals protocol. Leveraging WebGL—a web-based evolution of OpenGL—and native Javascript/HTML5, this project transforms the blockchain into a canvas for dynamic, GPU-driven art. It’s a bold step forward in decentralized creativity, merging the permanence of the Bitcoin network with the limitless potential of real-time graphics. The project with the focus of hosting video art on the Bitcoin using the Ordinals protocol. Each Ordinal is an individual file that contains HTML, Javascript and a GLSL fragment shader that renders a generative graphic. These graphics render directly from the blockchain and are viewable inside a web browser.
Bitcoin Ordinals let people attach special information, like images or messages, to the smallest units of Bitcoin, called satoshis. This turns those satoshis into unique, collectible items while still being part of the Bitcoin system. It’s possible thanks to an update to Bitcoin that allows secure and permanent storage of this extra data.
