XanBit - Parcel Protocol

XanBit - Parcel Protocol builds upon the ideas introduced by Digital Matter Theory (DMT) by enabling users to dynamically inscribe attributes to Bitcoin blocks, transforming each block into a customizable piece of virtual "real estate." This protocol offers a unified open standard for ordinals metaverses, NFTs, tokens, alt-assets, inscriptions, and more.

Overview

XanBit is an Ordinals-based protocol that allows users to browse, inscribe, trade, and customize Bitcoin blocks via inscribing programmable XanBits within parcels. XanBit integrates seamlessly with the Bitmap consensus standard to authenticate ownership and inscriptions. Initially, users inscribe .xan domains that evolve into XanBits when attached to a .bitmap.

Features

• Map Interface: Explore and interact with the virtual map of Bitcoin blocks.
• Attribute Inscription: Inscribe customizable attributes to Bitcoin blocks.
• XanBits: Enhance the value of Bitcoin blocks by creating and inscribing custom XanBits. XanBits act as XanBit's native programming/functional/smart contract layer and enable automatic operations and functions when certain conditions are met.
• Ownership Verification: Ensure inscriptions can only be made by verified owners.
• Defi-Style Dividend Returns: Implement a percentage fee from all transactions that is split and paid out to the wallets of .xan holders.
• Universal XanBit Stream (UXS): An optional programmable financial mechanism designed to stimulate the economy by providing a steady revenue stream to .xan holders.

XanBit XanBit Calculation Methodology

The amount of "power" within a XanBit is calculated based on the number of transactions within the corresponding Bitcoin block multiplied by the total value of the block divided by its Bitcoin block height number.

Methodology Steps:

1. Transaction Counting: The number of transactions within a Bitcoin block is counted. Each transaction corresponds to one XanBit.
2. XanBit Generation: Each transaction is treated as an independent XanBit, allowing for unique attributes to be inscribed onto each one.
3. Attribute Inscription: Owners can inscribe attributes onto each XanBit, enabling detailed customization of their virtual real estate and enabling exponential possibilities.

XanBit XanBit Ranks and Power Boost Traits

Various attributes and ranks can be associated with Bitcoin blocks and applied within the XanBit ecosystem.

Transition from .xan to XanBit

1. Initial .xan Creation:
   • Users create a .xan domain name (e.g., mattty.xan) which represents their ownership and ability to manage the content within the parcel.
2. Attachment to .bitmap:
   • When a .xan domain is attached to a .bitmap, it evolves into a XanBit, gaining additional functionalities and capabilities provided by the Bitmap consensus standard.
   • Example: 123456.xan attached to 654321.bitmap evolves into a XanBit, unlocking enhanced features and interoperability within the XanBit ecosystem.

Use Cases

1. Decentralized Web Browsing:

   • Users access decentralized websites using .xan domains.
   • Browsers resolve these domains to XanBits and load the corresponding content.

2. Metaverses:

   • Host expanded environments within child inscriptions.
   • Users can navigate through different experiences using hierarchical addresses.

3. E-commerce and Stores:

   • Create

child inscriptions for online stores.

• Example: shop.123456.xan hosts a shopping interface.

4. Scalable & Dynamic:
   • Enable ongoing upgrades and expansions through reinscriptions.
   • Dynamic independent expansion without disrupting existing content.

Benefits

• Decentralization: Eliminates central points of failure, enhancing security and resilience.
• Scalability: Hierarchical structure allows for infinite subdivision and growth.
• User-Friendly: .xan domains provide an intuitive way to navigate the ordiweb.
• Persistent Upgrades: Reinscriptions ensure continuous improvement and adaptability.
