The digital asset landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and Bitcoin inscriptions are at the forefront of this innovation. Today, OKX proudly announces expanded support for Atomicals (ARC-20) on our Inscription Market—formerly known as the Ordinals Market—ushering in a new era of accessibility, functionality, and zero-fee trading across multiple token standards.
This strategic enhancement empowers users to create, buy, and sell ARC-20 inscriptions seamlessly, broadening the range of digital assets available on one of the most advanced platforms in the industry. With this integration, OKX reinforces its position as a leader in supporting emerging blockchain protocols and delivering cutting-edge tools for creators and collectors alike.
What Are Atomicals and ARC-20?
Atomicals, powered by the ARC-20 protocol, represent a groundbreaking approach to fungible tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain. Unlike traditional ERC-20 tokens that operate on Ethereum, ARC-20 leverages Bitcoin’s unmatched security and decentralization by embedding token data directly into individual Satoshis—the smallest divisible units of Bitcoin.
This "colored coin" methodology enables each Satoshi to function as a unique ownership unit for digital assets, combining the durability of Bitcoin with the flexibility of programmable tokens. As a result, users gain a trustless, transparent, and censorship-resistant way to issue and transfer digital collectibles, utility tokens, and community-driven assets—all without relying on smart contracts.
Top-tier ARC-20 tokens like Atom, Quark, and popular collections such as TOOTHY and Capybaras are now available for trading on the OKX Inscription Market. These assets reflect the growing creativity within the Bitcoin ecosystem, where scarcity, authenticity, and community engagement converge.

Expanding Ecosystem Support Across Wallet and Marketplace
The addition of ARC-20 support on the Inscription Market follows recent integrations within OKX Wallet, which already enables users to view and transfer Atomicals (ARC-20) and Stamps (SRC-20). On March 12, OKX Wallet further expanded its capabilities by adding support for Rune Alpha, an experimental inscription standard focused on lightweight token creation.
In the coming weeks, OKX plans to roll out support for Doginals (DRC-20) across both the wallet and marketplace, followed by full integration of Runes post-Bitcoin halving. This forward-looking roadmap underscores our commitment to staying ahead of technological trends while providing users with early access to innovative digital asset formats.
By unifying these standards under a single platform, OKX delivers a cohesive experience where users can manage diverse inscriptions—from Bitcoin-native ARC-20 tokens to emerging protocols—without switching apps or compromising security.
Why This Matters for Creators and Collectors
For creators, the ability to mint and distribute ARC-20 tokens on Bitcoin opens up new possibilities for community building and monetization. The inherent scarcity and immutability of Bitcoin make it an ideal foundation for digital art, gaming assets, and decentralized identity projects.
Collectors benefit from enhanced transparency and provenance tracking. Every ARC-20 inscription is permanently recorded on-chain, ensuring authenticity and reducing the risk of counterfeiting. With zero-fee trading on OKX’s Inscription Market, users can explore, trade, and grow their portfolios without friction or hidden costs.
Moreover, OKX Wallet supports inscription minting across 23 blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche-C, Arbitrum One, and more. This multi-chain capability ensures creators aren't limited to a single ecosystem—they can reach global audiences across platforms.

A Commitment to Innovation and User Feedback
Jason Lau, Chief Innovation Officer at OKX, emphasized the platform’s dedication to continuous improvement:
"OKX is the best place to discover and trade Ordinals and Inscriptions. Our Inscription Market continues to improve by including support for leading protocols like Atomicals. And, there’s more to come with Doginals and Runes. We've developed and refined this feature based on users' feedback and can't wait to hear their thoughts."
This user-centric approach has been central to OKX’s growth. By actively listening to creators, traders, and developers, we ensure our tools evolve in alignment with real-world needs—not just theoretical possibilities.
