The introduction of the Ordinals protocol contributed to the development of the BRC-20 token standard, through which fungible tokens can be minted and transferred on the Bitcoin blockchain.

BRC-20 tokens benefit from Bitcoin’s inherent properties and are only transferable to Bitcoin wallets that support Ordinals. Therefore, you must use Bitcoin wallets that support the BRC-20 standard to store and manage them.

Read on to learn about the best wallets that support BRC-20 tokens.

What Is BRC-20 on Bitcoin?

BRC-20 is a token standard for the minting and issuance of fungible tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain.

BRC-20 is based on the Ordinals protocol, which is a numbering scheme for satoshis. The protocol allows users to inscribe additional data into sat, giving rise to a market for on-chain NFTs and digital collectibles on Bitcoin.

BRC-20 tokens are created using JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) to define token features such as name, supply, symbol, etc., and inscribe the JSON code onto a satoshi.

The BRC-20 token standard is similar to the ERC-20 token standard on the Ethereum network. However, BRC-20 tokens do not rely on smart contracts.
