{% endhint %}

Minting an Ordinal right now requires a technical understanding of how Ordinals work. For the full process, please refer to the official Ordinal documentation [here](https://docs.ordinals.com).

Cryptoodles aims to simplify this method by introducing a cross-chain minting method through the ETH blockchain, and into the BTC blockchain via an air drop method. 

This allows an easy way for people to be one of the firsts to own an Ordinal Toodle on the BTC blockchain.

## Summary of the Cross-Chain Ordinal Air Drop

With Cryptoodles, minting a Toodle $BAG builds a list of ETH compatible wallets and its owner's Ordinal Wallet address.&#x20;

This minting process on ETH automatically whitelists your Ordinal Wallet address so that it can be air dropped an Ordinal Toodle on the BTC blockchain. The Ordinal Toodle air drop allows you to skip going through the technical process of minting an Ordinal.

After you initiate the Ordinal minting process by minting a Toodle $BAG, you will be able to send your Ordinal Wallet address to receive the Ordinal Toodle air drop. You will be able to see your Ordinal Toodle in your Ordinal Wallet address once the air drop is live.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Ordinal Toodle air drop date is still to be determined. Once it is determined, a page will be shared for you to send your Ordinal Wallet address for the air drop. However, you can still reserve an Ordinal Toodle by minting today.

## What is an Ordinal Toodle?

An Ordinal Toodle is a Toodle $BAG that is born from the BTC blockchain. Like a Toodle $BAG, it is a list of words that is used in the Cryptoodles project that eventually transforms into:

## Minting Your Ordinal Toodle

{% hint style="warning" %}
Be patient when minting your Ordinal Toodle. Ordinal technology is still new and being actively developed.
{% endhint %}

Once you have gone through the process above, an Ordinal Wallet address that you give will be air dropped an Ordinal Toodle $BAG.

Visit the [Cryptoodles Website](https://cryptoodles.com) and wait for an announcement to submit your Ordinal Wallet address.&#x20;

You will verify your Toodle $BAG and then your Ordinal Wallet address to receive your Ordinal Toodle on the website.
