It has been more than a year since the launch of the Atomicals protocol. I have seen many old friends forget where to trade, and new friends often ask in the group how to buy. So I will once again introduce the major market platforms of the Atomicals protocol.
Before you start, you first need to prepare a wallet that supports the Atomicals protocol. Wizz, OKX, and Unisat are recommended. Wizz @wizzwallet is the best choice. It is a mainstream wallet that is completely focused on the Atomicals ecosystem and can protect assets to the greatest extent and avoid burning due to misoperation.

① Bitatom @bitatom_io
Link: https://bitatom.io
Supported transaction types: ARC20 tokens
ARC20-specific marketplace developed by Zen @zen913, supporting all ARC-20 tokens.
After opening the website, you will see all the popular ARC-20 tokens. After clicking on the corresponding token, all the orders on the platform will be listed, and the unit price will be sorted from low to high. Select the order you want near the floor price, click "Buy" and sign to pay.
If you want to buy in bulk, you can click the "Sweep" button on the page, drag the progress bar, select the number of orders you want to buy, and then the total price will be calculated for you. If it meets your budget, click "Check Out" to sign and check out. Bulk purchases save more gas fees than buying one by one.
② Atomicals Market @atomicalsmarket
Link: https://atomicalmarket.com
Supported transaction types: ARC20 tokens / NFT collections / Realm fields
AM is the first major market in the early days of the protocol and a platform that is on par with Bitatom for liquidity. The AM team has been partially involved in the development and maintenance of the protocol and is an important contributor to the development of Atomicals.
「ARC-20」
On the market website, the first thing displayed is the ARC-20 token section. After selecting the corresponding token, all pending orders on the platform will be listed, sorted from low to high unit price. Select the order you want near the floor price, click "Buy Now" to sign and pay.
If you want to buy in bulk, you can click the "Sweep" button on the page, drag the progress bar, select the number of orders you want to buy, and then the total price will be calculated for you. If it meets your budget, click "Buy Now" to sign and check out. Bulk buying saves more gas fees than buying one by one.
「Realm」
At the top of the market homepage, select the second item "Realm" to switch to the trading section of Realm Name.
By default, the list is sorted from low to high by price, but due to the similarity between realms and domain names, the cheapest realms are not always the most worth buying. You can use the filter button in the upper left corner to view by category. For example, if you select 2 letters (2L), you can see all 2-digit Realms. In the filter, you can also search directly by keywords. For example, if you enter "hi", you can find all Realms with the letters "hi" in the names of all the real estate orders for sale.
After selecting the order you like and the price is suitable, click "Buy Now" to sign and pay.
「NFT」
At the top of the market homepage, select the second item "Collection" to switch to the trading section of the NFT collection.
This includes ordinary NFT collections (the project party submits the index after the user actively completes the minting, similar to Ordinals) and DMINT collections (an NFT fair MINT mechanism, the project party pre-uploads all collection contents to the chain, and the user then MINTs). The latter is the main type currently recognized by the market and is also a major technical feature of the Atomicals protocol. Its representative work is Toothy the Crocodile.
After selecting the collection you are interested in, click to enter and you can view all the orders from low to high floor prices. For some collections, you can also select orders with specified traits in the filter. Decide on the NFT you want to buy, click "Buy Now" to sign and pay.
③ OKX Web3 Inscription Market @okxweb3
Link: https://okx.com/web3/marketplace/inscription/atomicals/tokens…
(OKX mobile app: Web3 wallet at the top of the homepage - "Market" tab at the bottom - "Inscription" - switch the protocol from Ordinals to Atomicals)
Supported transaction types: ARC20 tokens / NFT collections / Realm fields
OKX wallet plays an important role in the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. After the Ordinals protocol, Atomicals is the second protocol it has accessed. It has an independent trading section and fully supports transactions of various types of assets.
「ARC-20」
Enter the OKX Inscription Market (Market - Inscriptions - Atomicals). The first thing that appears is all the ARC-20 tokens. The orders are sorted from low to high by unit price. After selecting the required order, click Buy to sign and pay.
OKX’s batch buying function is under development. It has been released and hidden several times before, and it should be online soon.
「NFT and Realm」
On the market page of the Atomicals protocol, there will be two page tabs at the top: "Inscription" and "Collection". Click "Collection" to switch to the NFT market.
Select the collection you are interested in, which will be sorted by floor price from low to high by default, select the NFT item you are interested in, click on the NFT details, and then click buy to sign and pay.
Realm is also classified as an NFT collection by OKX. You only need to find the collection named "Realm" on the page to view all orders on the platform. After finding the name you like, click on the details page, then click on "Buy" to sign and pay.
Note: This market cannot specify filtering NFT features or Realm categories
[The above three markets are the main markets where liquidity is currently concentrated. The following is a brief introduction to other markets. The detailed operation steps are similar.]
④ Binance Web3 Inscription Market @Web3WithBinance
Binance mobile app: "Funds" at the bottom - "Web3" at the top - "Quotes" at the bottom - Switch the protocol to "ARC20" at the top
Supported transaction types: ARC20 tokens
ARC-20 is the only protocol standard (the other is BRC20) for which Binance has developed an independent market in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Its main orders are directly integrated from the AM market orders.
⑤ SatX (formerly known as SatsX) @SatX_io
Link: https://satx.io/atomicals
Supported transaction types: ARC20 tokens / NFT collections / Realm fields
SatX is a multi-protocol aggregation market that developed the Atomicals section very early on.
It is worth mentioning that the Realm part supports category filtering, and the NFT part also supports feature filtering. It is a more useful Realm/NFT market besides AM.
⑥ Dotswap
Link: https://dotswap.app/v1
Supported transaction types: ARC20 tokens
Dotswap is a relatively mature Bitcoin ecosystem DEX. Under the trading pairs with liquidity pools, you can directly perform swaps. Unlike the traditional market order mode, the operation is simple. However, the liquidity pool of some ARC20 token trading pairs is not large. Please make sure that the exchange price is in line with the market price before selling.
————
Today, except for $atomarc which has launched Gate spot, most ARC-20 tokens are not listed on major exchanges. Some less well-known small exchanges are always daunting, so the trading position of ARC-20 is still mainly based on decentralized market platforms.
In addition, there are some platforms that support transactions but have few users, which can be viewed through the Quark Community official website Quark.Meme.
