In a bold stride toward shaping the future of decentralized finance and digital ownership, OKX Web3 Wallet has unveiled support for four groundbreaking inscription token standards: Atomicals (ARC-20), Stamps (SRC-20), Runes, and Dogecoin’s Doginals (DRC-20). This multi-standard integration marks a pivotal advancement in blockchain interoperability, user empowerment, and the evolution of digital asset ecosystems. By embracing these innovative protocols, OKX reinforces its leadership in the Web3 space—offering users greater flexibility, enhanced functionality, and seamless access to emerging token economies.
Understanding the New Inscription Token Standards
The introduction of these four token standards is more than a technical upgrade—it represents a philosophical shift in how digital assets are created, managed, and exchanged across blockchains. Each standard brings distinct capabilities that expand the utility and reach of Web3 applications.
Atomicals (ARC-20): Redefining Digital Asset Complexity
ARC-20, built on the Atomicals protocol, introduces a robust framework for creating and managing complex digital assets directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. Unlike traditional token models that rely on sidechains or layer-2 solutions, ARC-20 leverages Bitcoin’s unparalleled security while enabling rich metadata, ownership tracking, and programmable logic.
This makes ARC-20 ideal for high-value NFTs, digital collectibles, and verifiable credentials. With ARC-20 integration, OKX Wallet users gain direct access to a new class of Bitcoin-native assets that combine scarcity, authenticity, and long-term value preservation—all anchored to the most secure blockchain in existence.

Stamps (SRC-20): Bridging Blockchains with Bitcoin-Centric Design
SRC-20, or Stamps tokens, are designed to enhance data permanence and interoperability within the Bitcoin ecosystem. These tokens embed information directly into Bitcoin transactions using ordinal theory, ensuring immutability and transparency. What sets SRC-20 apart is its ability to function as a cross-chain bridge mechanism—allowing data and value to flow between Bitcoin and other networks without intermediaries.
By integrating SRC-20 early in its rollout (starting February 5th), OKX demonstrates strategic foresight in supporting foundational technologies that promote true decentralization. Users can now view, send, and manage SRC-20 tokens directly from their OKX Wallet—unlocking new possibilities for decentralized identity, provenance tracking, and secure messaging.
Runes: Empowering Community-Driven Token Economies
While many token standards focus on technical innovation, Runes emphasize community participation and economic fairness. Inspired by the simplicity of Bitcoin’s UTXO model, Runes enable efficient fungible token creation with minimal overhead and no smart contracts required.
Designed for mass adoption, Runes reduce gas fees and network congestion—making them accessible even during peak usage. Their integration into OKX Wallet (via Rune Alpha by end of February) opens the door for grassroots projects, meme-based economies, and decentralized communities to thrive without reliance on complex infrastructure.
For users, this means easier participation in token launches, fair distribution models, and transparent transaction histories—all while staying within the familiar environment of a trusted Web3 wallet.
Dogecoin’s Doginals (DRC-20): Meme Culture Meets Blockchain Utility
Bringing fun and inclusivity back to blockchain innovation, DRC-20 tokens leverage Dogecoin’s vibrant community and cultural momentum. Built using ordinal-inspired inscriptions on the Dogecoin blockchain, DRC-20 tokens allow users to mint unique digital artifacts—ranging from artwork to collectible memes—while preserving Dogecoin’s core principles of accessibility and decentralization.
OKX’s decision to support DRC-20 underscores the growing influence of community-driven networks in shaping Web3’s future. It also highlights the platform’s commitment to supporting diverse blockchain ecosystems—not just those with enterprise backing but also those powered by organic user engagement.
Phased Rollout Ensures Seamless User Experience
OKX has adopted a structured, user-first approach to integrating these new standards—ensuring stability, security, and ease of use throughout the transition.
Phase 1: SRC-20 Integration (February 5)
The first phase launched on February 5, introducing full support for Stamps (SRC-20) tokens. This milestone allows OKX Wallet users to:
- View SRC-20 balances directly in their wallet interface
- Transfer tokens securely across the network
- Interact with decentralized applications leveraging SRC-20 data layers
This initial step positions OKX as one of the earliest major wallets to support Bitcoin-centric inscription protocols—paving the way for broader adoption.
Phase 2: ARC-20, DRC-20 & Rune Alpha (End of February)
By the end of February, OKX will roll out support for ARC-20, DRC-20, and Rune Alpha, completing the first wave of inscription standard integrations. These additions will unlock:
- Native viewing and transfer capabilities for all four token types
- Compatibility with emerging dApps across Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and multi-chain platforms
- Improved metadata handling for richer user experiences
This phased strategy ensures developers and users have time to adapt while maintaining high performance and reliability across the OKX ecosystem.
OKX NFT Marketplace: A New Era of Accessibility
Complementing its wallet upgrades, OKX is enhancing its NFT marketplace with native support for DRC-20 and ARC-20 tokens by the end of February. This expansion transforms the marketplace into a truly multi-chain hub for digital creators and collectors.
Zero-Fee Trading for DRC-20 and ARC-20 Inscriptions
One of the most exciting developments is the introduction of zero transaction fees for trading DRC-20 and ARC-20 inscriptions. This initiative removes financial barriers for creators and new entrants—fostering a more inclusive environment where artistic expression isn’t limited by cost.
Zero-fee trading encourages experimentation, increases liquidity, and promotes wider participation—especially among independent artists and small communities who rely on low-cost platforms to showcase their work.
