Deals go both ways now, OpenOrdex's partially signed transaction from either side, on a lot: an item, or an org inside a holding, which its parent sells. Buy makes an offer, the buy order: the buyer signs the whole deal and the holder countersigns. Sell makes an ask, the sell order: the lot's key signs its input alone with SIGHASH_SINGLE|ANYONECANPAY, committing to that input and to the price to the seller and to nothing else, and any node can take it, leading with a 600-sat coin of its own so the lot lands in its output. An org sells cash-free: before its parent lists it or accepts an offer on it, the org's money, gas tank and items go home, so the price is for the org alone, and a listed org is frozen until its ask is taken or withdrawn. Its buyer adopts it with two new lineage/v0 ops, in either order: join, signed by whoever holds the org's inscription, and adopt, signed by the new parent. The org takes the buyer's next index and derives its keys there, and its inscription moves to its new key. Taking an ask adopts at once; after an accepted offer the buyer adopts when it's ready. The seller's tree keeps a row at the old index. Rehearsed on Bitcoin Core regtest: an org sold on an ask, another on an offer and an item on an ask, twelve beats and 104 transactions, and ord tells the same story. The rehearsal caught that a miner can put a join and its adoption in either order within a block, so a move records both halves and each half belongs to both holdings. The sample ends with both sides standing: lineage's offer for the launch kit, and well-known's ask for mailr.

Orgchain
Lineage's app for creating and operating lineage holdings: https://lineage.yolopreneur.lol/orgchain/
Lineage gives an org its structure, a key tree with a place for every org and agent. Orgchain adds time. Every act is an inscription on a private toy chain in your browser, and its parent inscription is the node that authorizes it, so the chain itself records who did what, and when.
- Found a holding (a root: the LLC). Birth orgs and agents under any org. Award a belt (one skill, one seat, in any holding: a registry like well-known certifies agents it doesn't hold). Decide (a decision on a node's record). Make an item (an inscription its maker holds, and can sell). Buy an item or an org another node holds, and Sell your own (both sides of a deal, below). Keyring (a node publishes its keys on each chain, each key signing the same statement). Charter (a node's legal form, from sole proprietor to series LLC). Graduate an org or an agent: its edge flips from derived to adopted, and it becomes a holding of its own, with its own tree, timeline and share of the mining, while its parent's tree keeps a row for it. Close a node (derived children close with it; graduated ones hold their own roots and stay open).
- Time. A beat is a block. At the default tempo each act is its own beat; at 10, 30 or 60 seconds, acts are cued and land together on the next beat; on manual they wait for Beat now. The slider and Replay show a holding as it stood at any beat.
- Money. Test BTC lives at each node's SegWit address. Mining is a lab setting: under Split (the default)
every active holding mines, and each beat's 50 test BTC splits pro rata by hashrate, a dial from 0 to 9 on each
holding (1 unless set), one coinbase output per holding; under Last act the holding behind the latest act or send
takes the whole beat (with nothing cued, Beat now pays the one being worked in), so at a timed tempo acts race
for the next beat; under Mainnet no holding mines, as on mainnet: beats pay the lab wallet, standing in for the
world's miners, and Fund moves test BTC from it to a holding, the way you'd fund a seed from a wallet you
already have. Send moves test BTC from any active node to any other, in
its holding or another, signed by the sender's BIP-84 key: at most eight coins in, at most 50 test BTC out, and the
toy chain's fixed 500-sat fee. Sends land like acts, at once or cued, and Beat now mines a beat even when nothing
is cued. A graduation moves each re-keyed node's money to its new address along with its inscription. Balances
follow the slider, the timeline lists every reward, send and gas top-up, and Inspect has the exact amounts and the
raw transaction (
src/orgchain/money.js). - Gas. Every act is paid by the acting node's own keys: its inscription's two fees and postage (2,000 sats), plus 500 for each handoff it makes. They come out of its gas tank, the plain coins at its Taproot key, which tops up from its own money 0.0001 test BTC at a time. A node with neither can't act until someone sends it money, and a graduating org pays for the claim on its new root itself. The lab wallet pays only for foundings (a holding owns nothing until it mines) and for holdings that predate lab keys.
- Deals. Both sides of OpenOrdex's partially signed transaction, on a lot: an item, or an org inside a holding,
which its parent sells. Buy makes an offer, the buy order: the buyer's SegWit key signs the whole deal at once
(SIGHASH_ALL), the lot and its own coins in, the lot to its Taproot key, the price to the seller's SegWit address and
its change out, and nothing reaches the chain until the holder Accepts by countersigning the lot's input. Sell
makes an ask, the sell order: the lot's key signs its input alone with SIGHASH_SINGLE|ANYONECANPAY (0x83), which
commits to that input and to the price to the seller at the same index and to nothing else, so any node can Take
it. The buyer leads with a 600-sat coin of its own, so the lot lands in its first output (sats move first in, first
out), then the lot and its funds; out go the lot to the buyer and the price to the seller. Offers and asks stand in
the lab like PSBTs in an order book until they land, are withdrawn, or go stale (a coin they spend moved, or a side
closed or re-keyed). The buyer pays the fees, and an offer of 0 is a free claim. Payments spend coins no offer has
promised first, and the timeline and Inspect show each deal (
src/orgchain/offers.js). - Acquisitions. An org sells cash-free: before its parent lists it or accepts an offer on it, the org's money, gas
tank and items go home to the parent, so the price is for the org alone, and a listed org is frozen until its ask is
taken or withdrawn. Its buyer then adopts it: a
join, signed by the key that now holds the org's inscription, and anadopt, signed by the buyer, move it into the buyer's tree at the buyer's next index, where its keys derive from the buyer's seed, and its inscription moves to its new key. Taking an ask adopts at once; after an accepted offer the buyer adopts when it's ready. The seller's tree keeps a row at the old index, marked with where the org went. The sample ends with both sides standing: lineage's offer for the launch kit, and well-known's ask for mailr. - Keyrings. Keyring publishes a node's keys in one inscription whose parent is the node itself: its Taproot and
SegWit addresses, its npub and its Ethereum address, so another chain or a registry like well-known can find them
without deriving anything. Every key signs the same statement, the way its own wallets sign a message: BIP-322 for the
Bitcoin addresses, a nostr note for the npub, EIP-191 for Ethereum, so any wallet can make a proof and any library can
check one. The newest keyring counts, no key is bound to two nodes at once, and a graduation retires the keyrings it
re-keys, so the graduate publishes its new keys (the sample shows lineage's). Inspect shows each node's keyring and
the statement its keys signed (
src/orgchain/keyring.js). - Charters. Charter records a node's legal form, which is an attribute, not an identity: a freelancer's holding starts with no form, takes one when it needs to (sole proprietor, LLC, series LLC or corporation), and keeps its inscription, keys and history throughout. A series LLC holds its ventures as series, each chartered by the master; a series lapses if it graduates or its master closes or stops holding series, which the tree shows by striking its tag. A graduated venture charters itself as an LLC. An agent can graduate too: a seat goes independent as a holding of its own, free to birth and award, then incorporate. A charter carries a jurisdiction, a legal name, who formed it and a SHA-256 of the filings, which Charter can compute from a file without the file leaving the tab. The sample shows yolopreneur as a Wyoming series LLC with its ventures as series, and lineage graduating into Lineage LLC.
- One interpretation.
src/orgchain/lineage.jsfoldslineage/v0events into trees, and vets every act before anything is signed. Events it rejects stay on the chain and show as rejected; they just don't change the tree. - Keys. Each holding gets its own 24-word lab root, and every node has lineage's keys at its place in the tree
(
src/orgchain/keys.js): an org's seed is BIP-85 from its parent's, or its own root once it graduates; an org is account 0 of its seed and its agents are accounts 1..n. Every account lists its addresses, so no one has to derive them: Taproot (BIP-86,m/86'/1'/account'/0/0), which holds the node's inscription, signs its acts and receives inscriptions; SegWit (BIP-84,m/84'/1'/account'/0/0) for payments; its Tapkey, the npub as a Taproot address (its nostr key with the BIP-86 tweak), which the npub alone finds; its npub (NIP-06); and its Ethereum address (BIP-44,m/44'/60'/account'/0/0; an org's, at account 0, is its legal-control key, as on the key tree page). Its leaves hang off the same tree, byte for byte as on lineage's key tree page (src/orgchain/leaves.js): an agent's ssh, git, dkim and wg keys from its nostr secret, an org's ssh-ca, mtls and noise keys from its seed, each with the public line to paste. Every act is signed by the Taproot key that holds the authorizing inscription, and a birth hands the child its own. Graduation is a claim by the org's fresh root, countersigned by its derived key, and the derived subtree re-keys under the new root, so the parent's line can no longer sign for it. Labs keyed by v1.1 or v1.2 keep their chain keys until they are reset. - Secrets. Each node's Inspect has a Reveal panel, as on lineage's key tree page: its seed (holdings and orgs), its nsec, its Taproot, SegWit and Tapkey keys as descriptors Bitcoin Core imports as they are (test-network WIF, BIP-380 checksums), its Ethereum private key, and its leaves' private keys (OpenSSH, DKIM, WireGuard, PKCS#8, Headscale). Hidden again on every selection; lab keys only.
Test coins and test keys only: a local chain, the lab wallet (the faucet that pays for foundings, and under Mainnet
the wallet holdings are funded from) and each holding's lab root, kept in this browser (localStorage, key
orgchain:lab:v1). Nothing here is a real key; minting a real root is
the operator's call.
Events
lineage/v0 is the ord metaprotocol (tag 7); the fields are CBOR metadata (tag 5); the body is a short text label (a
keyring's is the statement its keys signed).
| op | parent inscription (spent to authorize) | metadata |
|---|---|---|
found |
none | name |
birth |
the parent | name, kind (org or agent) |
award |
the issuing org or holding (to may sit in any holding) |
to, skill, belt (white, green, black) |
decide |
the deciding node | title, why |
make |
the making node, which then holds the item | name, note |
keyring |
the node itself; the newest counts, and a graduation retires it | taproot, segwit, nostr, ethereum, and proof (each key's signature) |
charter |
the node itself, or a series' master; the newest counts | form; jurisdiction, legal, provider, filing, or of for a series |
graduate |
the child's parent (then the handoff to the child's fresh root); the child, org or agent, becomes a holding | of |
close |
the node itself | none |
join |
the org, signed by whoever holds its inscription (its buyer); with the adopt, in either order, it moves |
to |
adopt |
the new parent, which takes the org in at its next index; its keys derive from there | of |
Names are domain labels (lowercase letters, digits, hyphens). Org and agent indices count separately and are never reused (an org that changes hands takes its buyer's next one). The metadata says what an event means; the parent it spends proves who was allowed to make it; who holds an item afterwards is the chain's to say, never the metadata's. Metadata is public and permanent: an item's note is for a hash or a link, never a secret or a document.
Lineage as a metaprotocol
SPEC.md defines lineage/v0 as an ordinals metaprotocol: what each field of the envelope means, the order events
fold in, why a parent proves authority, and every rule the reducer applies. The lab is one implementation. The other is
bin/lineage-index.mjs, which reads the events from a real ord server and folds them with the same reducer:
node bin/lineage-index.mjs --ord http://127.0.0.1:8088 [--from <height>] [--compare <lab backup>]
tools/regtest/ rehearses the sample, keyrings, asks, offers and moves included, on Bitcoin Core regtest: the lab's own
transactions, byte for byte, confirmed by Bitcoin Core and indexed by ord, which then tell the same story as the lab
(tests/indexer.test.js replays a recorded run). The first rehearsal found that the lab's reveals committed to the
wrong tapleaf, which real Bitcoin rejects; reveals are now checked the way Bitcoin checks them (SPEC.md, section 1).
The rehearsal of org sales found that a miner can put a join and its adoption in either order within a block, so a move
records both halves and each half belongs to both holdings (SPEC.md, section 5).
Build and test
npm ci
npm test # engine, reducer, lab, money and the ord indexer (node --test)
npm run build # dist/ is the site; relative paths, so it works at any sub-path
npm run test:e2e # Playwright on vite preview; PW_CHANNEL=chrome uses installed Chrome
ORGCHAIN_URL (plus PW_ARGS, a JSON array of browser flags) points the same end-to-end spec at a deployed copy.
Deploy: copy dist/ to ventures/lineage/orgchain/ on teahubxyz/time gh-pages. Its headers (a strict CSP with
connect-src 'none': the app makes no network requests) come from ventures/lineage/_headers.
Built on Super Testnet
The chain, wallet, inscriptions, metadata and index (src/adapters, src/upstream, with src/storage.js and
src/miner.js) are Super Testnet's, with their tests (tests/adapters.test.js) and five
additions: the chain also moves native SegWit (P2WPKH) payments, BIP-143 signatures included; a coinbase may split
its reward across up to 64 outputs; ordinary spends take up to eight inputs and outputs, whose key-path
signatures may carry SIGHASH_SINGLE|ANYONECANPAY (0x83, the sell-order flag), while reveals keep their two-in,
two-out shape (tests/money.test.js); a chain may start from coins imported from a real chain; and reveals'
script paths are checked per BIP-341 and BIP-342 (tests/indexer.test.js).
See PROVENANCE.md and public/licenses/. Lineage's key derivation and the claim and
countersign handoff (src/adapters/lineage-keys.js, src/adapters/handoff.js, with their spec vectors in
tests/keys.test.js) come from the tree branch. The full lab (explorer, delegates, recursion and
the Inscriboor extension) lives at supertestnet.lol.
