BRC-20 is an experimental fungible token standard issued on the Bitcoin network. It leverages the Ordinals protocol to inscribe JSON-formatted data on Bitcoin, enabling token deployment, minting, and transfers. You can inscribe BRC-20 tokens in OKX Wallet by following the steps below.


Open the Web3 Wallet, or import a BTC wallet via Wallet management > Add wallet. To inscribe BRC-20 tokens, your wallet must hold a sufficient amount of BTC to cover network fees. You can acquire BTC by trading within the wallet or by transferring BTC into your wallet from an external address.

  1. Open OKX app, go to Wallet, and log in to your account. Learn more about how to import or create an OKX wallet account.
