Trading NFTs, Inscription Tokens, and Runes Tokens

OKX Wallet’s dedicated Market section provides a unified platform for trading various digital assets, including NFTs, Bitcoin Ordinals (inscriptions), and Runes tokens.

Purchasing NFTs

The OKX NFT marketplace aggregates liquidity from major platforms like OpenSea, Blur, and LooksRare, enabling a seamless trading experience across over a dozen blockchains.

To purchase an NFT:

  1. Ensure you are in your OKX Web3 Wallet.
  2. Tap on Market and find the NFT section.

  4. For supported blockchains, you can add multiple NFTs to your cart and purchase them all at once to save on gas fees.
  5. Confirm the transaction details and complete your purchase.

Understanding and Buying Inscription Tokens (BRC-20)

Inscription tokens, commonly referred to as BRC-20 tokens, are an experimental fungible token standard on the Bitcoin network. They utilize the Ordinals protocol to inscribe data in a JSON format to deploy, mint, and transfer tokens.

To buy a BRC-20 token:

  1. Navigate to Market > Ordinals Market.
  2. Select a token (e.g., SATS) to view its details page.
  3. Browse the available listings, select a seller offering the right price and quantity, and click Buy.
  4. Review the total price and network fees, then confirm the order to execute the trade.

Understanding and Buying Runes Tokens

The Runes protocol is a new standard proposed for natively issuing fungible tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain. It is a UTXO-based system, meaning it operates using Bitcoin's core transaction model, making it a flexible and decentralized solution that doesn't require off-chain data or a native token.

To buy a Runes token:

  1. Go to Market > Runes Market.
  2. Choose the token you wish to purchase to open its details page.
  3. Click Buy, carefully review the price, total cost, payment wallet, and network fees.
  4. Click Confirm to finalize the transaction.

How secure is participating in DeFi through the wallet?
