When exploring the grand and mysterious digital realm of the Bitcoin ecosystem, Ordinals and Atomics shape and maintain new developments in this ecosystem in completely different ways.
Atomics is primarily focused on creating and managing complex token systems on the Bitcoin network, while Ordinals is focused on creating and trading unique NFTs and data on the Bitcoin blockchain. They each play a different role in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
With the subsequent release of Atomics Indexer 1.3.6, ARC 20 tokens will be able to be traded in smaller units through splitting. The UniSat team announced that it will support ARC 20 from today and open ARC 20 asset trading on December 28. Servicing ARC 20 assets on December 30th. This is not only a new chapter in the Bitcoin digital field, but also indicates that large trading platforms like OKX and Binance may soon join the party and start supporting ARC 20 assets.
Atomics Protocol is a simple and flexible protocol that can be used to mint, transfer and update digital objects (Digital Objects) on a blockchain based on the UTxO model like Bitcoin. An Atomic is a way to integrate the creation, transfer and update of digital objects - it is essentially a chain of digital ownership defined according to a few simple rules. The philosophy of Atomics is: No transaction history, not your digital object.
In order to help more users get started with Atomics quickly, Rhythm BlockBeats has compiled several common assets and tools in the Atomics ecosystem in this article.

ARC 20
The token inscriptions of BRC 20 are mostly based on zoo elements, while the tokens of Atomics are more like its name, exploring the mysteries of the universe and astrophysics.
Currently, Atomics code repository ranks sixth on the GitHub monthly trend list. Entering the Atomics community group chat, what comes to mind is the technical culture of deploying Bitcoin full nodes, deployment environments, and code sharing. It is filled with many scientists. If someone says that Ordinals is like BAYC, then from this perspective, Atomics is More like Punk.
Atom
Different from the token Atom issued by the Cosmos project, Atomicals first ecological token $Atom has a total supply of 21,000 pieces, each worth 1,000 coins. Today, Atom has become a rare 10,000-fold currency in the Bitcoin ecosystem. At present, most of the liquidity and trading volume of Atomics is still concentrated in ATOM.
According to Atomic Market data, as of the time of writing, the price of Atom is US$14.5, the market value exceeds US$280 million, and the 24-hour trading volume exceeds US$1.71 million.
AVM virtual machine
AVM, with a total supply of 21 million tokens, played the second-best position for a long time before the emergence of tokens such as Electron Neutron, but its market value has now been surpassed. According to Atomic Market data, as of the time of writing, the price of AVM is US$0.284, the market value exceeds US$5.7 million, and the 24-hour trading volume exceeds US$710,000.
Electronic
Electron has a mining difficulty of 7 and is an ARC 20 token created on November 19. The total supply is 18,400 and each is 54,600 tokens. According to official tweets, Electron mining takes up to half a month. According to Atomic Market data, as of the time of writing, the price of Electron is US$0.008, the market value exceeds US$7.6 million, and the 24-hour trading volume exceeds US$110,000.
Neutron Neutron
Neutron has a mining difficulty of 8 and a total supply of 21,000 tokens, each worth 100,000 tokens. According to Atomic Market data, as of the time of writing, the price of Neutron is US$0.002, its market value exceeds US$3.9 million, and its 24-hour trading volume exceeds US$300,000.
Neutron is characterized by Empowered Bitcoin, which is built on the basic technology of traditional Bitcoin while introducing enhanced features and functions. This concept integrates advanced protocols and innovative mechanisms to create a more versatile and efficient form of cryptocurrency. The Neutron Protocol team uses the nSequence field to increase random numbers, making mining 10 times faster with ARC 20 code optimization.
Additionally, Empower Bitcoin focuses on inclusivity and fairness in the mining process. It adopts an improved Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm that not only ensures the security and integrity of transactions, but also makes mining easier for a wider range of participants, moving away from the dominance of large-scale mining operations. This approach democratizes the mining process, allowing rewards and opportunities to be distributed more equitably within the community.
QUARK Quark
QUARK has a mining difficulty of 6 and is still being minted.
The total supply is 500,000 cards, each worth 20,000 coins. Currently, the cost of getting one is about 25 u. According to Atomic Market data, as of the time of writing, the price of QUARK is US$0.001, the market value exceeds US$340,000, and the 24-hour trading volume exceeds US$43,000.
Similar to SATS, sats is the smallest unit of bitcoin, and quark is the basic unit of matter, so QUARK has meme attributes to a certain extent. From the perspective of participation, on the one hand, the total amount of QUARK is 500,000, which will take a long time to be mined. This allows many people to participate and build a certain consensus. On the other hand, the mining difficulty of QUARK is relatively simple compared to Electron and Neutron. Coupled with the recent multi-thread optimization, most people have the opportunity to experience the thrill of mining.
In addition, QUARK has a high initial market value, many currency holding addresses, and strong basic consensus. Therefore, some community members believe that QUARK is expected to become a meme currency that can break out of the Atomics ecosystem.
Quantum Quantum
Quantum has a mining difficulty of 9 and a total supply of 229.32 million tokens. According to Atomic Market data, as of the time of writing, the price of Quantum is US$0.001, the market value exceeds US$110,000, and the 24-hour trading volume exceeds US$37,000.
Currently, Quantum is opening Dmint in Atomic, of which numbers 0000-9000 are free, and numbers 9001-9999 require reading detailed tutorials and paying 1000 sat. But considering that Quantum mining is extremely difficult, the secondary market is a good choice.
Realm
Official recommendation:@realmname
Currently, there is also a token with the same name as “$realm” in Atomics, but this is not a real Realm.
So, what is Realm Name? Simply put, it is like a unique label or address for you on the Internet. Usually the domain names we see on the Internet, such as .com or .org, are suffixes. But in the world of Realm, everyone registers the text of the prefix and has the power to price all suffixes.
Now, imagine that you have a Realm, such as +abc. In the world of Atomics, its more than a name, its a door to endless possibilities. You can use it to build communities, organizations, or even groups within the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. It can be applied to games, social interactions, lands, medals, etc.
Specifically, Realm can be used as a payment address (just like your personalized payment name), and can also be used to build communities, authenticate identities, create social profiles, mark privileges, and even distribute assets. It is like a synthesis of identity and digital assets, without the limitations of traditional domain names. It starts with a plus sign, such as +username.
So when you own a Realm, you not only have the pricing power of all sub-fields, but you can also become a kind of registration bureau, allowing others to register sub-fields and earn registration fees. This is a brand new thing that completely subverts our understanding of traditional domain names. It can even become an alternative to the entire DNS system.
In short, Realm is more than just a domain name, it is a door and key to the online world, connecting various communities, organizations and groups, bringing new expansion and applications to the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.
Currently, pure letters have the best consensus in the Realm field, followed by numbers, of which 2-digit and 3-digit numbers are the most precious. Those with a mixture of numbers and letters are called 3 miscellaneous by the community. According to Atomic Market data, as of the time of writing, the 3 miscellaneous floor is about 25 U; 3 pure letters are around 200 U; 2 miscellaneous is about 2000 U about.
NFT
Atomics’ NFT minting method is called Dmint. This method is very interesting. Its design draws heavily on Bitcoin’s POW (proof of work) mining method, and its name is Bitwork. This update caused quite a stir in the Bitcoin community, causing many people to download and install the related environment. As a result, the GitHub code base of Atomics became a hot topic and ranked high in the overall market.
So, what exactly is Dmint and why is it so popular?
To put it simply, Atomics can not only issue Tokens like BRC 20, but also create NFTs where all data is stored on the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain. Moreover, its approach is different from Ordinals.
Dmint This NFT minting method is considered fairer and more decentralized. When the creator of an NFT wants to issue a series of NFTs, they need to number each image (for example, from 0000 to 9999), and then the Atomics protocol will calculate the hash value of each image file and generate a hash value for each image. A separate json file.
Next, the protocol uses the hashes of these images to calculate a proof via a so-called Merkle tree. This proof can be used to verify any NFT in this series.
The NFT deployer will write this certificate, together with the NFTs name, description, logo, mining difficulty and other information, into a transaction and send it to the Bitcoin network to complete the registration of this series.
In this way, deployers only need to send proof of NFT images during the registration process, rather than each image itself. Even if 10 million NFTs are deployed at one time, it will not cost too many sats (the smallest unit of Bitcoin).
Then, the NFT project party will disclose the image and json file of each NFT. After the user selects the NFT he likes, he sends a Bitcoin transaction, records the image data and json file on the Bitcoin blockchain, and completes the casting (that is, claiming) of a single NFT.
The hash values of these NFT images can be mutually verified with the Merkel tree certificates in the registered transactions, thus completing the issuance and minting process of the entire NFT series.
On November 31, the three projects of crocodile (atomtoothy), capybara (AtomCapybaras) and scientists (SCIENTISTS) were the first batch to start Dimnt’s NFT project. However, because the total number of scientists was smaller and the cost was higher, Capybara’s The degree of consensus is not as high as that of crocodiles.
Therefore, after almost a month, the little crocodile TOOTHY has become the truly leading NFT of Atomics.
Little crocodile TOOTHY
The total amount of TOOTHY is 10,000, with the highest ever reaching 2,000 U. The little crocodile is also nicknamed the financial giant. According to Atomic Market data, as of the time of writing, the price of TOOTHY is US$1,580, and the 24-hour trading volume exceeds US$97,000.
SCIENTISTS
The total number of SCIENTISTS is 400. According to Atomic Market data, as of the time of writing, the price of SCIENTISTS is US$1,046, and the 24-hour trading volume exceeds US$1,100.
FISHFACEMAN
FISHFACEMAN is an NFT project launched on Dmint on December 23. The total amount is 10,000. The cost price of minted GAS is about 50 U. After being launched on the Atomic Market trading market, the highest price rose to 300 U. It is the current Longer project.
According to Atomic Market data, as of the time of writing, the price of FISHFACEMAN is $221, and the 24-hour trading volume exceeds $100,000.
