Digital assets firm OKX announced the launch of their ‘Ordinals Launchpad,’ an all-in-one platform that empowers creators to “launch, inscribe and trade collections” directly on Bitcoin.
The platform simplifies the technical complexities of Bitcoin inscriptions while providing creators with the “tools, visibility and support” needed to build thriving communities.
With Bitcoin surpassing $108k and Ordinals surpassing more than 72 million inscriptions to date, creators are looking to “tell their stories on the world’s first blockchain.”
The OKX ‘Ordinals Launchpad’ builds on this momentum by removing barriers to entry and also maintaining the decentralized “principles” that make Bitcoin unique.
The platform, available on web as well as mobile, aims to combine creator tools with “seamless” user experience:
- ‘SelfScribe’ technology: Collectors can inscribe directly onchain at time of mint through our SelfScribe technology, eliminating pre-inscription requirements and ensuring true self-custody from the start with zero technical knowledge needed
- Unified creation and trading: All-in-one platform enabling creators to inscribe, launch and trade directly onchain through a single interface
- Multi-marketplace integration: Listing capabilities across major marketplaces post-mint
- Competitive creator fees: 2.5% launch fees, offering the lowest rates among competitors, maximizing creator revenue
- Zero trading fees: No fees for collectors trading on the marketplace post-mint
- Creator-first payment flow: All proceeds go directly to creators’ wallets through onchain settlement, giving creators complete control over their pricing and distribution
- Flexible launch mechanics: Creators can customize their launch with flexible minting rounds, including allowlist and public sale options
- Global marketing reach: Projects have the opportunity to benefit from exposure to our extensive social media presence, along with marketing support and community channels
The platform debuts with ‘Geminions,’ the Ordinals collection from JRNE, a community-driven Web3 jewelry brand supporting NFC-enabled authentication on Bitcoin, demonstrating how “established brands can bring their creative vision to Bitcoin’s ecosystem.”
This launch comes as trading volume for Ordinals, Runes and BRC-20 collections on our Marketplace has increased 50% since November 6, highlighting growing market demand.
Building on their market share in BRC-20, Ordinals and Runes, their Wallet continues to support Bitcoin (BTC) innovation as “one of the first major platforms to embrace these emerging token standards.”
As an early adopter and innovator in the Bitcoin ecosystem, OKX said they continue to expand our offerings with ‘Ordinals Launchpad,’ complementing our recently launched ‘Creators Collective’ – an “invite-only community fostering collaboration among builders, curators and artists.”
OKX concluded that the upcoming drops will be available on their Drops Bitcoin ecosystem page ahead of the mint date.
