OKX, a global onchain technology company, today announced the launch of ‘Ordinals Launchpad,’ an all-in-one platform that empowers creators to launch, inscribe and trade collections directly on Bitcoin. The platform simplifies the technical complexities of Bitcoin inscriptions while providing creators with the tools, visibility and support needed to build thriving communities.
With Bitcoin recently surpassing $108k and Ordinals surpassing over 72 million inscriptions to date, creators are increasingly looking to tell their stories on the world’s first blockchain. OKX’s ‘Ordinals Launchpad’ builds on this momentum by removing traditional barriers to entry while maintaining the decentralized principles that make Bitcoin unique.
The platform, now available on web and mobile, combines essential creator tools with seamless user experience:
- Industry-leading ‘SelfScribe’ technology: Collectors can inscribe directly onchain at time of mint through OKX’s SelfScribe technology, eliminating pre-inscription requirements and ensuring true self-custody from the start with zero technical knowledge needed
- Unified creation and trading: All-in-one platform enabling creators to inscribe, launch and trade directly onchain through a single interface
- Multi-marketplace integration: Listing capabilities across major marketplaces post-mint
- Competitive creator fees: 2.5% launch fees, offering the lowest rates among competitors, maximizing creator revenue
- Zero trading fees: No fees for collectors trading on the marketplace post-mint
- Creator-first payment flow: All proceeds go directly to creators’ wallets through onchain settlement, giving creators complete control over their pricing and distribution
- Flexible launch mechanics: Creators can customize their launch with flexible minting rounds, including allowlist and public sale options
- Global marketing reach: Projects have the opportunity to benefit from exposure to OKX’s extensive social media presence, along with marketing support and community channels
The platform debuts officially with ‘Geminions,’ the first Ordinals collection from JRNE, a community-driven Web3 jewelry brand pioneering NFC-enabled authentication on Bitcoin, demonstrating how established brands can bring their creative vision to Bitcoin’s ecosystem. This launch comes as trading volume for Ordinals, Runes and BRC-20 collections on OKX has increased 50% since November 6, highlighting growing market demand.
OKX Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique said: “With Bitcoin crossing the historic $100,000 milestone, we are seeing incredible momentum and activity across the broader Bitcoin ecosystem. ‘Ordinals Launchpad’ arrives at the perfect time to capture this momentum, eliminating complexity for creators while offering seamless access to the rapidly growing market for Bitcoin-based digital assets. One powerful platform, multi-marketplace listings and direct onchain inscriptions – this is how we’re setting a new standard for what’s possible on Bitcoin.”
Building on its significant market share in BRC-20, Ordinals and Runes, OKX Wallet continues to lead Bitcoin innovation as one of the first major platforms to embrace these emerging token standards. As an early adopter and innovator in the Bitcoin ecosystem, OKX continues to expand its offerings with ‘Ordinals Launchpad,’ complementing its recently launched ‘Creators Collective‘ – an invite-only community fostering collaboration among builders, curators and artists.
