In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, new concepts and innovations are constantly emerging. One such development that has captured the attention of both blockchain enthusiasts and collectors alike is the rise of Bitcoin Stamps. These unique digital assets, known as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), have gained significant traction, presenting exciting opportunities within the realm of digital ownership and expression.
Bitcoin Stamps can be best understood as digital collectibles that are built and stored on the Bitcoin blockchain.
A summary of the project is available on Github . Bitcoin Stamps is a protocol created by @MikeinSpace .
Artists, creators, and collectors can leverage these Bitcoin Stamps to represent their work, establish provenance, and monetize their digital assets. The scarcity and uniqueness of Bitcoin Stamps could drive up their value.
I do not recommend to have Bitcoin Stamps as investment. Rather to have it as a personal technical challenge to understand the technology.
It’s always good to visit websites to understand the possibilities and different approaches given by a new technology. Below, short listed the most important places to look for additional information.
If you’re searching for a comprehensive platform to discover unique Bitcoin Stamps, look no further than www.rarestamp.xyz. This website serves as a centralized hub where stamp collections are showcased, and individuals can conveniently obtain stamps by sending funds through the dispenser feature. Moreover, www.rarestamp.xyz goes above and beyond by providing users with the exciting opportunity to mint their very own NFTs. This marketplace is developed by Universelle, a web3 consultancy company.
The cryptocurrency space, while filled with innovation and opportunities, can sometimes be complex and overwhelming for newcomers. However, amidst this complexity, there exists a supportive community that is always ready to assist those who are willing to explore and participate. Additionally, the continuous efforts of the core team and various development groups bring forth exciting updates and new functionalities, gradually paving the way for progress.
One notable project that deserves recognition is www.thestampwallet.com. This platform has successfully developed a user-friendly wallet that not only enables the visualization of stamps but also provides the ability to mint and trade SRC-20 tokens. SRC-20 tokens, in essence, are tokens that operate similarly to ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum network but are built on the Bitcoin blockchain and utilize the Stamps protocol. The significance of SRC-20 tokens warrants a dedicated article to explain their unique attributes and potential applications.
Another source of information is stampchain.io , mainly maintained by the core team.
Similar to rarestamp.xyz is stampverse.io where additionally is possible to mint SRC-20 tokens.
@0xDerpNation released an epic collection of stamps based on SRC-721 protocol. Stamps can be found in rarestamp.xyz and stampverse.io
Talking about epic collections, @mikeinspace not long ago launched his own special Bitcoin Stamp collection on SRC-721. UTXOBOTS.
…and of course there are amazing artists. Here a list of the my favorite ones:
- Viva La Vandal
- Lu Ambriz
- EternalAI Rare
- HNFTpepe
At the moment of writing this article, more than 67,000 stamps were minted and the number is increasing fast.
If I encouraged you to try Bitcoin Stamps as a technical challenge, more information can be found at https://arnltony.github.io . You will need some additional knowledge. My suggestion is to first follow some projects before spending some Bitcoin on it.
Bitcoin Stamp community has a several Telegram and Discord groups that are always willing to help those who need initial guidance. All of them can be found in the websites mentioned above. So don’t be shy.
IMPORTANT: You shouldn’t pursue Bitcoin Stamps as a financial investment and understand the risks that imply. This is a very new protocol and many transactions require sending manually funds and signing messages with your wallet. Never, ever give your private key or seed words.
