Magic Eden’s move means that merchants within the ecosystem will benefit from being able to buy and sell bitcoin-based scrips pegged to the satoshi, the smallest unit of measurement value for BTC.
A new dimension to the NFT universe
one in Press release Published Tuesday, Magic Eden noted that the infrastructure supporting bitcoin inscriptions is growing, even as the network counts more than 400,000 digital artifacts to date.
At the moment, the bitcoin NFT marketplace has integrated two non-custodial wallets – Hiero and Xverse – with support for features such as listing, delisting, and buy and sell. The marketplace already provides access to over 70 collections.
3/ Why bitcoin? Ordinary digital artifacts exist on-chain, never off-chain, and are completely immutable, meaning they cannot be changed in any way.
Add to that the security aspect of BTC and the decentralization of its nodes, and you’ve got the ultimate home for true digital collectibles.
