If you see Bitcoin-based assets in Phantom besides BTC, they may be Ordinals, rare sats, or older BRC-20 tokens. Phantom can display some of these assets, but it does not protect them during standard Bitcoin transfers.
Important: Phantom doesn't protect Ordinals, rare sats, or BRC-20 tokens during Bitcoin transfers. Sending BTC may spend any satoshis in your address, including those containing these assets. To manually control which UTXOs are spent, see Send Bitcoin using Sparrow wallet.
Ordinals
Ordinals are individual satoshis with data inscribed on them, such as images, text, or other content. They are sometimes described as Bitcoin NFTs. If your wallet contains Ordinals, they appear in the Collectibles section of your Phantom wallet.
Rare sats
Rare sats are collectible satoshis with distinct properties, such as notable block positions or historical significance. If your wallet contains rare sats, they appear in the Collectibles section of your Phantom wallet.
BRC-20 tokens
BRC-20 is a token standard built on top of Ordinals. Phantom no longer supports BRC-20 tokens in the app.
If you previously held BRC-20 tokens, they have not been lost. They are still onchain and remain associated with your Bitcoin address. You can access them through external platforms such as:
- Magic Eden: Go to magiceden.io, select Bitcoin, and connect your Phantom wallet to view and trade your BRC-20 tokens.
- UniSat: Go to unisat.io and connect your Phantom wallet to view and manage your BRC-20 tokens.
- Use Ordinals Wallet to view BRC-20 tokens associated with your Bitcoin address.
