Set Up an Ordinals-Compatible Wallet

Start by choosing a wallet that supports Rare Sats, such as Xverse (xverse.app) or MagicEden (wallet.magiceden.io). Both options are available as mobile apps or Chrome extensions.

Rare Sats are Bitcoin. Your wallet must distinguish Rare Sats from common ones to avoid accidental spending.

This is non-negotiable. Your wallet’s seed phrase is your lifeline.

Write it down and store it in a safe place.

A lost seed phrase means a lost wallet—and potentially, lost Rare Sats. Every year, millions of dollars are lost due to unrecoverable wallets.

Secure Your Seed Phrase

Add Bitcoin to Your Wallet

Each Ordinals wallet provides two addresses: one for Ordinals and one for payments.

Use the payment address to transfer Bitcoin to your wallet.
