Roadarmor rarity :

Roadarmor rarity refers to the rarity introduced by Ordinal Theory. This rarity is solely based on recurring events happening on the Bitcoin Network.

Bitcoin has periodic events, some frequent, some more uncommon, and these naturally lend themselves to a system of rarity. These periodic events are:

  • Blocks: A new block is mined approximately every 10 minutes, from now until the end of time.

  • Difficulty adjustments: Every 2016 blocks, or approximately every two weeks, the Bitcoin network responds to changes in hashrate by adjusting the difficulty target which blocks must meet in order to be accepted.

  • Halvings: Every 210,000 blocks, or roughly every four years, the amount of new sats created in every block is cut in half.

  • Cycles: Every six halvings, something magical happens: the halving and the difficulty adjustment coincide. This is called a conjunction, and the time period between conjunctions a cycle. A conjunction occurs roughly every 24 years. The first conjunction should happen some time in 2032.

This gives us the following rarity levels:

  • Common : Any sat that is not the first sat of its block

  • Uncommon : The first sat of each block

  • Rare : The first sat of each difficulty adjustment period

  • Epic : The first sat of each halving epoch

  • Legendary : The first sat of each cycle

  • Mythic : The first sat of the genesis block
