Cases
Cases are serialised ordinal container objects used for presentation, verification and reversible UTXO composition. They can display packed ordinal content, expose serial metadata and interact with the OrdiFi Composer and Verify registry.
Case types
- Standard Case — general ordinal collector case.
- Flickerbox Case — Flickerbox collection case.
Cases as collector infrastructure
OrdiFi cases are designed as infrastructure for the broader ordinals community.
- Cases are mintable layouts even without content.
- Content display can require proof, depending on clayout type.
- Showroom surfaces exist to curate and exhibit cases (vitrines, albums, suitcases).
Verification model
Every case is its own serialised object. Verify may expose: - serial number - case type - packed status - contained ordinal references - holder information - mint history - pack/unpack history Only successfully minted public objects appear in the Verify registry.
Recursive layout standard
The recursive layout manifest remains intentionally minimal and generic. Layouts operate through: - positional placement - scaling - slot coordinates This allows recursive compositions without hardcoding collection-specific logic into the viewer.
- scale (uniform or explicit)
- x, y placement
This keeps the standard flexible and broadly useful for recursive compositions beyond OrdiFi.
Pack / unpack (viewer behavior)
Pack and unpack operations are reversible compose/split actions performed through the OrdiFi Composer. Packing associates ordinal content with a case or layout structure. Unpacking reconstructs separated ordinal outputs while preserving deterministic positioning.
Serial + QR overlays (production note)
Cases may contain serial and QR overlay layers used for presentation and verification. Serial identifiers are tracked through the OrdiFi registry infrastructure.
