# About Circles

### What

Ordinal Cirlces are the first “on-chain” generative art on the **Bitcoin** blockchain. They are a completely self-contained mechanism for the creation and ownership of an artwork.

There will be 999 Ordinal Circles each with its own number. Each Ordinal Circle is a unique piece of generative art. Each Ordinal Circle is a unique NFT. Each Ordinal Circle is a unique Bitcoin transaction. 

In addition to the unique [art](/circles-ordinal-by-saturn-labs/the-art.md), Circles includes a novel and unique selling process: [a discord bot](/circles-ordinal-by-saturn-labs/sales-process-website.md) that handles purchase requests, BTC transfers, inscribing the Ordinal and delivering it to the buyer.

### Why

Ordinal Circles are a way to explore the intersection of art, Bitcoin, and NFTs. They are a way to explore the intersection of art, Bitcoin, and the blockchain. They are a way to explore the intersection of art, Bitcoin, and the future.
