5 trusted ordinals wallets to store your digital artifacts

Casey Rodarmor created the ordinals protocol with Bitcoin node operators in mind. While the protocol recommends running a full Bitcoin node to participate, doing so can be expensive, take a lot of storage space, and require technical expertise to maintain.

However, there is an alternative: Ordinal wallets provide a simple way to store and collect digital artifacts created using Ordinals. To help you get started, we've compiled a list of the best ordinals wallets available today.

The Ordinals Wallet

The Ordinals Wallet is a Bitcoin wallet launched on February 16, 2023 and addresses the limitations of previous wallets. This wallet allows users to hold, store, and view their Ordinals directly from within the wallet, and also transfer, send, inscribe, and buy and sell Ordinals within the wallet. The wallet's user-friendly interface has garnered positive feedback from users. What's more, the Ordinals Wallet is a community-funded project.

Xverse Wallet

Xverse is a Bitcoin Web3 wallet. Although Xverse launched its Bitcoin Ordinals service just a day before the Ordinals wallet, its primary focus is to continue to build the most advanced Bitcoin wallet while offering stellar support for Ordinals. Users can interact with the blockchain through Xverse without running a full Bitcoin node.

Using the app's fiat on-ramp service, users can pay for transactions by purchasing Bitcoin and paying a transaction fee within the wallet app. To create an Ordinal, users must upload an image or text to the app and send a transaction to the address associated with their Ordinal. After this, the NFT should be visible in the user's Xverse NFT collection in approximately 30 minutes. It's also worth noting that Xverse relies on Gamma, a Bitcoin Ordinal marketplace, to inscribe Ordinals for Xverse.

Hiro Wallet

Hiro Wallet was a few steps ahead of the Ordinals Wallet and Xverse wallet, having launching its Ordinal services on February 14, 2023. The wallet allows users to securely store, send, and receive Bitcoin, and create and store Ordinal NFT inscriptions in minutes. Additionally, the Hiro wallet is compatible with popular Ordinals platforms such as Gamma, OrdinalsBot, and other emerging apps, allowing for inscription directly in the web browser.

MetaMask

You can link your MetaMask wallet to Generative XYZ. Generative XYZ requires users to sign a message when connecting, which produces a Bitcoin Taproot key for use on generative.xyz. This process makes sure users have full authority over their digital resources, and that all trades are safe and valid.

Generative XYZ requires a signature to validate the Ordinals address upon signing in. This is essential to verify your identity and guarantee the security of the transactions. It provides users with a key vault for added security, and those who prefer a further safeguard can use a hardware wallet to protect their Ordinals. Ledger and Trezor are two of the most popular hardware wallets available, which make it easier and more secure to store Ordinals.

You can explore the listed Ordinals through MetaMask's Generative Marketplace.

OKX Wallet

At OKX, we've pioneered multichain wallets that fully support Bitcoin ordinals. Our wallet seamlessly integrates with the Bitcoin taproot upgrade, allowing you to view and transfer ordinals within your OKX wallet effortlessly.

What is BlockDAG: better network scalability with directed acyclic graph

The BlockDAG distributed ledger has been turning heads with its novel approach to data processing and transaction management. Unlike many of today's leading chains, BlockDAG uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure, which allows multiple blocks to be added simultaneously. This change helps to solve problems like network congestion and transaction speed, while also providing a more scalable and efficient solution for decentralized networks.
