Inscriptions are part of the blockchain world. Players wishing to make profits and discover opportunities in the world of inscriptions need to make basic preparations and use advanced auxiliary tools.

Wallets

Your wallet acts as the gateway to the inscription world. Whether you use a multi-chain wallet like MetaMask or an ecosystem-specific option like DPAL Wallet, connecting to inscription applications is possible. Since inscriptions are essentially on-chain data, all you need is a public and private key pair to mint, transfer, and manage inscriptions. However, some wallets offer a more user-friendly experience and additional functionalities. The following section focuses on two feature-rich Bitcoin wallets suitable for storing, trading, and transferring popular Bitcoin inscriptions like BRC-20.

Ordinals Wallet

Ordinals Wallet is a non-custodial wallet lets you view and store BTC, Ordinals NFTs, and inscription assets. You can directly create and transfer Ordinals NFTs within the wallet, and even list BRC-20 tokens on the Ordinals Wallet marketplace. Beyond the Bitcoin inscription ecosystem, it also supports storing, creating, and trading DRC-20 tokens within the Doge ecosystem. By visiting the official website and selecting “Connect Wallet,” you can create a web-based wallet. This allows you to view Bitcoin and Doge inscriptions, market trends, and conduct transactions. Ordinals Wallet has evolved to become a multi-purpose platform integrating a wallet, inscription tools, and a marketplace.

One advantage of using Unisat is that it provides data information that can serve as a reference for inscribing. For example, you can check which inscriptions have a larger number of holders but have not yet been fully minted. These inscriptions, with more participants, are more likely to experience price increases and gain value.
