Buy Ordinals in Phantom

  • Updated

You can buy Ordinals from your Phantom wallet using Magic Eden or UniSat. Before you buy, make sure you understand how each marketplace uses your Bitcoin addresses and how Ordinals are stored.

Before you buy

When you send Bitcoin, Phantom does not protect your Ordinals, rare sats, or BRC-20 tokens. This means that you may accidentally spend satoshis containing your Ordinals. We recommend that you create a dedicated account in Phantom just to store these assets.

For steps, see Add accounts to Phantom after initial setup.

Buy Ordinals on UniSat

UniSat supports both Native Segwit and Taproot addresses. If both are enabled, UniSat uses Native Segwit for payments and receiving inscriptions. If only Taproot is enabled, UniSat uses Taproot for both.

Tip: We recommend using your Taproot address to store Ordinals.

  1. Go to UniSat.
  2. Select ConnectOthersPhantom WalletConnect.
