Gamma.io Launches Trustless Bitcoin Ordinals Marketplace
In Brief
Gamma’s Bitcoin Ordinals marketplace enables users to create and trade Ordinal inscriptions.
Gamma aims to become the go-to platform for Bitcoin Ordinals.
The platform is the lead sponsor of the first-ever Ordinals conference and the first-ever Ordinals Art Gallery at Bitcoin Miami 2023.
Gamma.io has announced the launch of its trustless Bitcoin Ordinals marketplace after bringing one of the first no-code Ordinals creator platforms to market in February.
The inscription service has helped creators make more than 30,000 inscriptions on Bitcoin, representing nearly 10% of all inscriptions on the network. Gamma’s no-code launchpad and collection mints will be tradeable on the new marketplace, along with secondary listings of popular collections like Twelvefold and DeGods.
On Gamma’s Bitcoin Ordinals marketplace, users can create and trade Ordinal inscriptions similar to how NFTs are traded on non-Bitcoin marketplaces like OpenSea. Users can simply connect their Xverse or Hiro wallets to start trading.
“As Ordinals become the bright spot in this crypto winter, our trustless Bitcoin ordinals marketplace showcases our commitment to an exceptional web3-native experience,” Gamma’s founder and CEO, Jamil Dhanani, said in a statement.
With its no-code creator platform and now a marketplace, Gamma aims to become the go-to platform for Bitcoin Ordinals. Gamma is the lead sponsor of the first-ever Ordinals conference and the first-ever Ordinals Art Gallery at Bitcoin Miami 2023.
Teaming up with curators, Xverse, and Bitcoin Magazine, Gamma.io will present a fine art exhibition featuring 21 artists, highlighting the growing connection between Bitcoin and the art world.
The marketplace comes as Bitcoin Ordinals are seeing an increase in adoption. The new platform fills an infrastructure gap in the nascent Ordinals market, which did not have a marketplace or wallets to support Ordinals until recently. Trading of Ordinals is usually done over the counter, with transactions logged on spreadsheets.
The bidding process of Yuga Labs’ Twelvefold collection drew some criticism as Yuga Labs wanted bidders to deposit the full amount of their bids to participate in the auction before returning unsuccessful bids in full after the auction. Despite that, the sold-out collection generated $16.5 million.
