A record number of NFTs were created in Bitcoin blocks in early April. The reason was the appearance of a new token standard - BRC-20.

This standard was proposed by anonymous developer Domo as a counterpart to the ERC-20 standard, but with more limited functionality.

More than 170 BTC were paid to miners in commissions for conducting transactions that secured NFT data on the blockchain.
