How to buy Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens in Phantom

You can buy Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens directly from your Phantom wallet using Magic Eden or Unisat. To ensure a smooth experience, make sure both your Native Segwit and Taproot Bitcoin addresses are enabled.

Buy Ordinals on Magic Eden

Magic Eden uses both your Native Segwit address and your Taproot address to purchase Ordinals. Your Native Segwit address is used as your "payment address" and your Taproot address is used as your "Ordinals address" (where your Ordinals are stored).

Before you begin

1. Go to Settings → Preferences → Preferred Bitcoin address.
2. Turn on both Native Segwit and Taproot.

Connect to Magic Eden

1. Go to magiceden.io.
2. Select Bitcoin in the upper-left corner.
3. Select Log In → View all wallets → Phantom → Bitcoin → Connect to link your Phantom wallet.
4. You will need to sign a message in Phantom to confirm.

If you already have another wallet connected, disconnect it first before connecting Phantom.

Prepare your wallet

Before your first transaction, Magic Eden will prompt you to prepare your wallet. This step enables decentralized trading and ensures Ordinals can be safely transferred.

1. Select Prepare your wallet when prompted.
2. Approve the transaction in Phantom.
3. Once the transaction is confirmed, you’re ready to purchase Ordinals.

Buy Ordinals and BRC-20s 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, it uses Taproot for both.

Tip: We recommend using your Taproot address to store Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens.

Buy an inscription

1. Go to unisat.io and connect your Phantom wallet.

2. When prompted, select Sign to authenticate.

   

3. Choose your inscription and review the transaction details.
4. Optionally, adjust the network fee.
5. Select Confirm to complete the purchase.
