Introduction
The Bitcoin network, long recognized primarily as a store of value, has undergone a transformative shift in recent years. With the introduction of protocols like Ordinals and token standards such as BRC-20, Bitcoin has evolved from a simple peer-to-peer electronic cash system into a vibrant ecosystem supporting various XRC-20 protocols and Layer 2 networks. This evolution has paved the way for a new era of blockchain innovation.
Amid macroeconomic shifts, the upcoming Bitcoin halving, and the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, interest in the Bitcoin ecosystem has surged. However, early infrastructure remains fragmented, creating challenges for users seeking seamless access to Bitcoin-based assets and applications.
OKX Web3 Wallet emerges as a comprehensive solution, offering robust support for BRC-20, ARC-20, SRC-20, and other protocols. This guide will walk you through OKX Web3 Wallet’s features, enabling you to effortlessly navigate the Bitcoin ecosystem—from acquiring and trading assets to exploring DeFi opportunities.
