Conclusion
Apart from the dazzling new NFT projects, the infrastructure that sells products in the entire ecosystem has naturally become a long-term business and has become an essential part of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Projects related to the Bitcoin ecosystem and NFT infrastructure cover various fields such as wallets, cross-chain, trading markets, minting tools, data & query, etc.
Unisat is a non-custodial open-source Bitcoin NFT plugin wallet and the first wallet to integrate Ordinals. It supports Ordinals and BRC20 and helps users store, mint, and transfer BRC20 tokens, including buying and selling BTC, NFTs, domain names, etc.
Since this year, OKX Web3 Wallet has become a model of overtaking other trading platforms. It has been the first to support BRC20 NFT and BTC NFT transactions and staking, bringing a large amount of traffic to its wallet.
Among them, it has successively supported BRC20 NFT and BTC NFT transactions and staking, and has launched Bitcoin ecosystem standards such as BRC20-S and NFT tools, making significant contributions to the open development of the Bitcoin NFT field and allowing more users to enter the Ordinals market smoothly.
Xverse, developed by Secret Key Labs, is a non-KYC Bitcoin wallet that supports Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens, and the Bitcoin smart contract platform Stacks. It will also support the Bitcoin Lightning Network in the future.
Ordinals Wallet was launched in February this year and is a non-custodial BTC wallet that allows users to view and store BTC and Ordinals NFTs. It also supports various Ordinals-related operations such as transfers, sending, registration, buying, and selling.
The mnemonic of Ordinals Wallet is generated locally and stored on the computer, encrypted in the browser. Users can directly transfer Ordinals NFTs from the wallet and list BRC-20 tokens on the Ordinals Wallet market.
Hiro Wallet is a wallet based on Stacks and supports storing and viewing Bitcoin and Ordinals. It allows users to manage their STX and other assets (such as BNS domain names and NFTs) across accounts. It also supports all asset types that can be sent to Bitcoin addresses.
Turtsat is a community-driven open platform aiming to become the Gitcoin of Ordinals. By providing a space for building, donating, and influencing Bitcoin Ordinals & BRC-20 through Turtsat, it has achieved non-custodial minting. It also provides services such as image optimization, various whitelist level establishment, and marketing support.
Luminex, as a Bitcoin Ordinals launchpad platform, is committed to introducing Bitcoin NFTs and BRC20 projects into the Bitcoin ecosystem. Users can scale and non-custodially mint, as well as provide services such as image optimization, whitelist creation, and marketing support.
Bounce Brand (formerly Bounce Finance) is a decentralized auction protocol that aims to provide users with the ability to create and participate in various types of auctions on multiple blockchain networks. Recently, it has gained a lot of attention due to the auctions of Bitcoin-related concept projects such as MultiBit (MUBI) and Bitstable (BSSB) and the amazing profits it has achieved.
On the other hand, in early December, Bounce Brand launched BounceBit, a DeFi solution designed for the Bitcoin ecosystem. It introduced the Bitcoin-pegged coin BTCB to increase Bitcoin liquidity and become a Bitcoin ecosystem project. Due to the popularity of Bitcoin-related concepts and being one of the few Bitcoin ecosystem projects listed on BN, it has gained high popularity. Recently, due to the continuous shipment of its new project bDID, the price has collapsed, even causing a decline in other projects such as auction and mubi.
MultiBit is a cross-chain protocol for BRC20 and ERC20. It is based on the BRC20 two-way cross-chain bridge design and aims to achieve cross-chain transfer between BRC20 and ERC20 tokens.
Analysoor is a cross-chain protocol for NFTs on Solana. It aims to solve the fair release and liquidity guidance problems of memes and NFTs. The first project ZERO adopts a unique lottery mechanism (9.5% winning rate) and uses SOL as the lottery token, attracting a lot of attention. The second project ONE has also completed minting through the lottery mechanism.
As of yesterday, 95% of Analysoor’s NFTs have been distributed, with 25,000 participants in the minting process. Discord plans to open ZERO and ONE to holders today. In the future, Analysoor will no longer distribute tokens but will provide Launchpad services to other projects and transform into a LaunchPad platform.
TeleportDAO is a cross-chain Ordinals market, which currently mainly includes two products: TeleSwap, a multi-chain BTC cross-chain trading protocol that supports cross-chain transfer and trading of assets between BTC and Polygon; and TeleOrdinal, an Ordinals trading market.
OKX Web3 Wallet’s Ordinals market is the largest BRC20 NFT and BTC NFT trading market. It is fully decentralized, offers fee-free interactive platform services, and supports various functions such as one-stop transfer, trading, engraving of BRC-20 and BTC NFT, etc.

CoinTool is an on-chain toolset that has also launched a series of tools for multi-chain NFT minting and monitoring, including EVM multi-wallet batch minting, SOL batch minting of NFTs, Tron multi-wallet batch minting, IOST batch minting of NFTs, and other services.
MCT is a multi-chain NFT minting protocol that provides real-time monitoring of NFT projects on more than 20 public chains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Sui, etc. It supports users in batch minting and covers all EVM chains and blockchain networks such as Tron.
BIIS aims to create the ultimate integrated and convenient technology stack for BRC20 tokens. It is positioned as a “BRC Ecosystem Toolbox” for developers and users, providing a comprehensive set of integration tools for project developers and users, including batch distribution and aggregation of BRC20 tokens, batch distribution and aggregation of BRC-721 NFT assets, and other integration tools. It will also launch a fully automated asset release platform to support multiple asset release modes such as Free Mint/AirDrop/IDO, and provide token Dao voting systems for project parties to achieve automated release and decentralized governance of projects.
BIIS has received strategic investments from Japanese cryptocurrency investment institutions CGV and KuCoin Labs.
Mempool focuses on the memory pool and blockchain browser functions of the Bitcoin community. It provides real-time transaction status and data, allowing users to view the current status of pending transactions. It is mainly used to query the confirmation status of transactions on the chain and the current real-time gas fee.
Bitcoin generally produces one block every 10 minutes, which can be used to determine the current block status—whether it is stuck due to high gas fees or due to active transactions on the chain. This can be used to determine how much gas to give.
Ordiscan is an Ordinals browser that allows users to query serial numbers and NFTs on Bitcoin. It can also search for corresponding NFTs and addresses.
BRC-20.io is a token data platform for Bitcoin NFTs that provides users with real-time price tracking of various BRC-20 tokens, allowing users to stay up-to-date with the latest market trends. It has also launched new products such as BRC20 DEX and DeFi Central.
OrdSpace is a data insight and analysis platform for Ordinals, providing insights into and analysis of data. It recalculates the ranking of all BRC-20 tokens using multi-dimensional data.

Ordinals Directory is a comprehensive platform for Ordinals NFTs, allowing collectors to discover popular and new collections and analyze floor price data.
Best in Slot is an Ordinals aggregator and browser that supports users in viewing all Bitcoin NFTs and their detailed information with just one click. This includes information on popular NFTs, the latest NFTs, etc., and allows for real-time interaction.
GeniiData is a data analysis platform for the Ordinals ecosystem, providing heat index and ranking data for BRC20 tokens. It supports users in capturing hot NFTs and real-time minting information.
Meanwhile, it has launched the ORC-20 index service, which mainly displays information about the deployment of ORC-20 tokens, including the maximum supply, current minting status, and upgradeability. It also provides information on ORC-20 token holders, records transaction flows, and has the ability to verify transaction statuses.
Whatscription is a multi-chain NFT monitoring protocol that supports users in real-time tracking and querying the minting of NFTs on Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS, Polygon, Linea, and other chains.
OrdinalHub is a one-stop data platform that combines discovery, tracking, and analysis of Bitcoin NFTs. It is dedicated to helping users gain an advantage in NFT trading and quickly identify new trends.
The wave of Ordinals has introduced a massive amount of funds, users, and developers into the Bitcoin ecosystem through NFTs. If Bitcoin used to only have the advantage of “consensus cognition” and total market value, the NFT wave has significantly increased the richness of new assets in the Bitcoin ecosystem and indirectly increased the number of developers and user base.
Therefore, regardless of when the NFT frenzy returns to calm, the entire Bitcoin ecosystem has already attracted enough funds and attention, creating a large number of opportunities for settling, construction, and sharing dividends. From this perspective, the Bitcoin ecosystem and NFT infrastructure have relatively long-term value, and a large number of Bitcoin infrastructure-related projects will inevitably flourish, worthy of long-term attention.
