Reported Cointelgraph, Bitcoin Ordinals's creator and chief coder Casey Rodarmor has recently proposed changing the protocol's numbering system, with the aim of simplifying the project's codebase.
In the current Ordinals protocol, each nonfungible token (NFT) created using Ordinals was assigned an inscription number that was unique. They functioned similarly to serial numbers and have been an integral part of the digital art minted in the protocol.

However, Rodarmor believes that keeping the inscription numbers stable has led to “ugly code and stalled development.” Because of this,he proposed to make inscription numbers “permanently unstable,” which means that the numbering system that assigns unique numbers to inscriptions created in the Bitcoin network will be deprioritized.
According to Rodarmor, the move will simplify the protocol's codebase and make it easier to make protocol changes easier in the future. The coder also clarified that inscription numbers would change, but not be entirely scrapped. Rodarmor highlighted that new inscription numbers would be close to the old ones but might differ by 1%.
