A closer look at the newly added listing criteria
Atomicals (ARC-20): ARC-20 introduces a groundbreaking fungible token standard to the Bitcoin blockchain. It uniquely utilizes satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin, as the basis for token representation. This innovation ensures that all ARC-20 tokens inherently support Satoshi, providing native value and seamless integration with the Bitcoin infrastructure.
Stamp (SRC-20): Often referred to as “Bitcoin’s non-fungible token (NFT),” the SRC-20 token plays a pivotal role in the world of secure and tradable art. Similar to the BRC-20 standard, data can be inserted within Bitcoin transactions. However, Stamps offers a unique approach, taking inspiration from Counterparty and colored coins, making it a notable addition to the inscription environment.
Bitcoin Loon: Bitcoin Loon represents a simpler alternative to the experimental BRC-20 standard. Due to its efficiency, it quickly gained popularity and achieved a market capitalization of $1 billion in just three months. Rune is a fungible token issued directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, promising a simpler approach to handling fungible tokens on this platform.
Doginals (DRC-20): Tagged with DRC-20 tokens, Doginals are pieces of Dogecoin that carry rich data such as text or images. The Doginals protocol allows unique tagging of Dogecoin’s “Shibes”, creating valuable and unique assets. The term “Shibe” reflects Bitcoin’s “Satoshi” or “Sat” and the protocol number Shibes, which each provide a unique ID and track transactions.
OKX’s integration roadmap and advanced features
great has a comprehensive integration plan for these new token standards. SRC-20 integration will begin on February 5th, followed by ARC-20, DRC-20, and Runes at the end of February.

These tools drive the adoption and growth of Web3 technology by empowering users across various blockchains. Jason Lau, OKX’s Chief Innovation Officer, highlights OKX’s commitment to simplifying access to inscriptions and removing barriers for users, making it easier for them to explore and leverage the potential of these technologies.
Overall, OKX’s announcement signals leadership in the Web3 Inscription ecosystem. OKX aims to drive the adoption and advancement of inscription technology across major blockchains by introducing four new token standards and a comprehensive integration plan.
