This guide will introduce the Binance Inscriptions Marketplace and show how you can get started using it.

Introduction

The Binance Inscriptions Marketplace is a place where users can create their own inscriptions and trade over 60,000 inscription tokens, including BRC-20 tokens, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) tokens, and more.

Now, let’s see what inscriptions are, what the Binance Inscriptions Marketplace is, and how to use it for trading inscription tokens.

What Are Inscriptions?

In the cryptocurrency field, inscriptions are pieces of information added or “inscribed” onto satoshis, the smallest unit of BTC. They became popular after expanding the Bitcoin blockchain’s use cases through the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol. Essentially, inscriptions can represent different types of information on the blockchain, including text, videos, images, and more.

BRC-20 tokens are examples of inscriptions. Essentially, BRC-20 is an experimental token standard that lets users transfer fungible tokens via the Ordinals Protocol on the Bitcoin blockchain. Each token created with the BRC-20 standard is an inscription on a satoshi.

What Is the Binance Inscriptions Marketplace?

The Binance Inscriptions Marketplace is a platform within the Binance Web3 Wallet. It offers an interface for trading different inscriptions, including BRC-20 and EVM tokens. The Binance Inscriptions Marketplace provides users with a single environment for interacting with all of their inscriptions, simplifying asset handling.

Users can also mint, deploy, and transfer their inscriptions in just a few clicks using the Inscription Center. This and other features of the Binance Inscriptions Marketplace allow users to manage and interact with their inscription tokens seamlessly.

How Does the Binance Inscriptions Marketplace Work?

Essentially, the Binance Inscriptions Marketplace is a trading platform for inscriptions within the Binance App. Users can move inscription tokens between their Binance Web3 Wallet and the Binance Inscriptions Marketplace to create trading orders. The Binance Inscriptions Marketplace uses several frameworks to improve the trading experience.

The platform implements a BTC Transaction Accelerator. It’s a service that speeds up the confirmation of transactions, especially during periods of network congestion or when a user sets his fees too low. As such, the mechanism can reduce trading delays and process high-priority transactions faster.

Binance Marketplace is also integrated with UniSat. The platform leverages the UniSat API to enhance liquidity and provide a wide range of inscription tokens for trading. As of March 2024, the Binance Marketplace supports the buying, selling, and inscribing of over 60,000 BRC-20 tokens.
