How do Prints work?
It’s simple: Prints by Gamma are powered by Recursive code. We take the original, high-quality inscription and generate a recursive script to produce as many copies as the artist chooses.
This way, each purchase only costs the buyer a few dollars in inscription fees versus the hundreds of dollars that the original inscription may have cost. Want to learn more about recursive inscriptions? Check out our learn article for more details.
Tune into our Spaces recording from earlier this week to hear from the Partner Artists who helped debut the launch of Prints!

Survival of the fittest in the digital age by eliherf
In an enlightening Twitter space with @itsdonnyok, we voyaged into the fascinating world of NFTs, drawing intriguing parallels between Web3's human participants and behaviors often witnessed in the vast expanse of the animal kingdom. While juxtaposing our digital endeavors with the instincts of the wild might seem whimsically comical, a deeper introspection reveals uncanny resemblances within this dynamic digital tapestry.
Signaling for status and attention
The radiant plumage of a male peacock, much like the conspicuous red pouch of the Patagonian frigatebird, serves to captivate potential mates. Analogously, in the world of digital collectibles, aficionados and creators fervently seek out exclusive assets, using them as luminous badges of status in the sprawling landscape of digital art and cryptocurrency. The motivation to stand out and be seen is unmistakable—what else drives one's choice of that unique pfp?
TwelveFold Puzzle from Yuga Labs
We’re thrilled to be supporting Yuga Labs for their TwelveFold puzzle series, where all guesses will be made using Ordinal inscriptions on Bitcoin, powered by Gamma. Start your hunt now! 🔍
The second puzzle has just been solved. Keep an eye out for the next one coming soon…
The TwelveFold puzzles stay true to the inspiration behind the collection — the relationship between time, mathematics, and variability. TwelveFold is a base 12 art system localized around a 12x12 grid, a visual allegory for the cartography of data on the Bitcoin blockchain. The 300 pieces are inscribed onto satoshis, the smallest individually identifiable units of a Bitcoin.
To participate in the puzzles, you’ll need an Ordinals bitcoin wallet. If you don’t have one yet, set one up by following this guide from our friends at Leather (formerly known as Hiro): Leather Set Up Guide
Once you’ve submitted an answer, you’ll send a Bitcoin fee (likely ~$4-$8 worth depending on network traffic) to the address that appears in order to inscribe your answer onto a satoshi.
