I totally agree with you about compressing the data to save the storage space. We'd like to serialize the data in the protocol if Ordinal Browsers support the compression algorithm.
Don't wait, act. Nothing is formally standardized in BRC20 land, all formats are made by cypherpunk-looking blokes on Twitter. If you try to get everyone to agree on you to make X protocol use Y feature, you're never going to get enough replies. So the only way to enforce this is to use it in practical applications immediately.
hahaha, let me integrate the compression algorithm in the protocol.
